.thereidout Blog: The GOP was never going to support a reform bill that uses law to protect Black lives.

, Booker presented a “skinny” reform bill that excluded several things Democrats wanted, including an end to “qualified immunity,” which shields police from civil liability.

A Black Lives Matter protester holds a placard and shouts slogans during a march on the anniversary of the death of George Floyd, in Brooklyn, New York on May 25, 2021.Republicans in the Senate were not going to support this measure that truly affirmed the value of Black lives. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act would do just that, in name and in substance.that would encourage — not force — police departments to end the use of violent tactics like chokeholds and no-knock raids.

Unlike budget-related bills that can pass in the Senate with a simple majority through the reconciliation process, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act would require 60 votes to overcome a likely Republican filibuster.
