The Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on sweeping police reform legislation on Thursday, amid concern that efforts to rein in police misconduct after the death of George Floyd could end in political stalemate.

The House measure was likely to pass along party lines, exactly one month after Floyd died with a white Minneapolis police officer’s knee on his neck, sparking weeks of nationwide and international protests against police brutality. The Democratic and Republican bills address similar issues: chokeholds, no-knock warrants, police body cameras, use of deadly force, and training to de-escalate confrontations with suspects and to encourage officer intervention against illegal conduct as it occurs.

My God, SpeakerPelosi looks like a complete idiot. I didn’t know she was African American?!? Does she even know what the sash even means? White people wearing the sash look like a Muslim wearing the robes of a priest.

Scott had a good bill but dictator Pelosi instructed the democrats to vote against it so she can introduce her bill today. After her remark about the Republicans yesterday dictator Pelosi needs to be impeached NOW.

Their way or the highway.

If it wasn't for Pelosi's huge ego the Senate bill would have being debated today...these career politicians need to go

Oh well another waste of time

💥......Must be completely cleared and repatriated. 📢American'Black Lives Matter'evil riot, It is a group of ugly perverted black people and ultra-left terrorists who have no morality, no cultural accomplishment, and do not want to work, but just want to enjoy for free.

They had a reform by Tim Scott and they called it a token. They have nothing!

Has SpeakerPelosi managed to keep her ice cream off her kente cloth?

Thus just looks ridiculous! Put your damn mask on! Straight clowns!!!

They had a chance to work with and add on to the Republicans bill but denied even debating it on the floor. They had no legitimate reason for thr refusal beside it was put forward by the Republicans. They did it just so they could put their name on the bill instead.

Peskyloski looks so young and vibrant !

Please tell me these phonies are not still wearing the scarves.

What a bunch of...

On the pandering scale, this is a 10.

yay more street crime

Just spreading some 🙏💖
