WASHINGTON - Two weeks after George Floyd’s death in police custody sparked nationwide protests, Democrats led by black members of the U.S. Congress are set to introduce legislation to combat police violence and racial injustice, including making it easier to sue officers who kill.
The legislation, which is also expected to establish a national database for acts of police misconduct, is backed by top Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer. “We’re going to have to put some real hard legislation on the table,” Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee, a senior caucus member, told a town hall meeting on Friday afternoon. “We’re going to need our colleagues from across the nation in the United States Congress, who are of different backgrounds ... we’re going to need to have the people dictate to the United States Senate, not Mitch McConnell.”
“There would be an openness to having a serious conversation about ideas that could actually pass,” a Senate Republican aide said. “A lot of members are genuinely in a listen mode, wanting to fully hear and understand what might be needed.”
The problem is that people keep seeing this side or that side, without seeing both the DNC and GOP have screwed this country up for decades. And both are still putting up candidates with ties to white supremacists, and both have a history of being womanizers. Time to change both.
I wonder if these young feet put a dollar in a tin to support the real Vets,or are they too young and stupid to know?
BlackLivesMattters the issue reminds me of the movie called queen.&.slim 2019 ☹️☹️
What about the 16-year-old girl who dies after early morning drive-by shooting in Anderson,SC June 5th 2020? Lashanti Hester,no protest, no riot, no Hollywood paying for her funeral,no politician kneeling for a child murdered?
Core problem: You raise your voice or dont immediately comply w/every command a cop gives you - you get hurt. Getting better b/c of phone cams but still long way to go. Everyone MUST record EVERY interaction w/cops & policy change that stops internal 'buddy system' protection.
Why do they have to be black?
Is it defund or disband police?
Whole protest seriously misdirected! Should be occurring in front of US Congress. Pelosi Shumer Sanders Feinstein et al been in office for decades. They ve done '0' for blacks. Congress is the right place to protest. Trump should lead a protest there. Trump did a lot for blacks!
.m.m..mm.m. ..,. M.. .. M .m..m,m
Ever notice if you dont do criminal shit most cops dont fuck with ya!!!...its true gotta try it sometime!!
Feds must put mandates on states to control their police forces. States must lose funding for violations. Police unions must come under fed scrutiny also. PBA is responsible for condoning violence, torture, and murders by bad cops/corrections. SgtJamesBrown
mizdonna Unsurprisingly, it looks like the same opportunistic response they put forward to every tragedy of the last 100 years or so. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.”

Hashtags don't work on Cardboard
They didn't do anything during Obama's 8 years presidency with 2 black Attorney Generals. It's politics & power struggle between GOP & Dem. Nothing to do with black life.
The same democrats who've been in office for decades and done nothing?
