Pelosi says Senate GOP 'trying to get away with murder' in police reform bill

WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Tuesday that Senate Republicans are"trying to get away with murder" with their policing bill.

The Republican's bill, led by Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina – the chamber's lone Black Republican – includes measures aimed at increasing transparency at police agencies and around use-of-force incidents while incentivizing departments to use body cameras and discouraging chokeholds by withholding federal grant money.Pelosi echoed many congressional Democrats, who been are reportedly planning to block the GOP's bill.

Ken Farnaso, the deputy press secretary for the Trump campaign, called for Pelosi to"say it to @SenatorTimmScott's face." Farnaso used to work as press secretary for Scott. Drew Hammil, deputy chief of staff for Pelosi, defended the speaker, saying Pelosi didn't single out Scott, and"said 'Republicans' -- if there's any one Republican she's talking about it's the self-proclaimed Grim Reaper @senatemajldr," a reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Senate Democrats signal they're prepared to block GOP police reform billDemocratic senators on Monday gave their strongest indications yet they may block the Republican police reform bill from coming to the floor, a risky move that could prevent any overhaul measure from being enacted this year over their party's concerns that the GOP bill is too weak. The only lenient party here is the liberal Democrats. I can’t believe they wouldn’t pass a bill because it was “too weak”. Not buying it. Is this suppose to be a surprise? Why on earth, CNN, do you hate this country so much?

Senate Democrats Threaten to Block GOP Policing Bill Unless Broader Negotiations StartSenate Democrats threatened Tuesday morning to block consideration of Republicans’ policing bill unless bipartisan negotiations over a broader overhaul begin. DON'T SEE CORY OUT WITH THE PROTESTERS DOES ANYONE? GOO legislation only makes recommendations, no mandates or new strategy. It rejects what the people have been asking for. Tone deaf if not neglectful. Good choice for pic. Two duds
