U.S. lawmakers will try this week to revive efforts to enact police reform legislation in Congress, a Republican senator said on Sunday, after moves to address police misconduct following the death of George Floyd deteriorated into partisan bickering.

Senator Tim Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate and author of a Republican reform bill that Democrats blocked last week, said he will meet in coming days with lawmakers who crafted sweeping Democratic legislation that passed the House of Representatives last Thursday.

Scott suggested common ground on a Democratic provision to eliminate legal immunity protections for police, which has been a major stumbling block.Floyd’s May 25 death, as a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck, sparked weeks of worldwide protests against police brutality and stirred strong public sentiment for effective reforms to American policing.

But efforts to forge a legislative agreement in Congress have been hamstrung by a political shouting match between Democrats and Republicans, including President Donald Trump, who stirred fresh consternation on Sunday by retweeting a video in which one of his supporters shouted,"White power!" The videoScott said he spoke over the weekend to Representative Karen Bass, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, a group of more than 50 Black legislators who crafted the Democratic...

Scott and other Republicans oppose a Democratic proposal to allow victims of misconduct to sue police for financial damages, saying it would have a chilling effect on law enforcement.

House slave vs field slave. covering the truth for personal profits

There is a lot of work the federal government can do in limiting their role in police forces that should be ran by local and state governments.

Incentives, federal reporting and training does nothing to prevent chokeholds, other dangerous restraints, no-knock warrants or keep police safe from harm or prosecution and allow the arrested to have their day in court. The goal should be to save all lives, protect and serve.

You’d better NOT come with no BS TRUMP rhetoric... YOU KNOW BETTER!!! Do BETTER or vote 🗳 you out!!! TimScottSC

The Democratic House Bill should be revived not the Senates.

Let's start from the basic. Whom are you supporting? You can't possibly be empathizing with the victim if you're supporting the aggressor. Am I wrong?

Police reform? Really? Why isn't he asking why isn't Trump going after Putin for paying to have our boys killed? The good Senator should be sticking up for our kids over there. Trump isn't

This coon deserves no seat at any table discussing police reform.

Why would you want to encourage travel during a pandemic... POTUS should stick with his idea of Stimulus staying as stimulus.
