The House bill is much better.

The House bill is much better.

Why?

The House bill is much better.

Why?

Read it. It addresses qualified immunity, chokeholds, no-knock warrants, etc...

"Tomorrow Tim Scott and the Senate Republicans have a Great Bill, the #JUSTICEAct, up for a vote. Will be great for both people of color and police - in fact, has major police support. Rebuilding trust and keeping communities safe! Hope to sign it into law ASAP! ' - Trump

Another example of Congress being feckless. Party caviling is more important than passing compromised legislation.

I predicted Scott (actually McTreason) would come up with a toothless bill he knew would not address the issues that need reforming. McTurtle has turned the Senate in to a dysfunctional farce.

But but but their sole black pol Tom Cotton told 'em what to write! How could it be wrong?

Yeah how dare that Uncle Tom be a Republican.

Has major police support because it manages to change nothing while giving the illusion of addressing the issue!

A lot of tough talk from sissies lately

 

[airplanemechanic]

GOP bill would incentivize police departments to ban chokeholds, but Trump said is was alright when there live was in danger. So you are going to bride them and hope that they stop. Okay

increase the use of body-worn cameras, now all they have to do is stop them from turning it off

improve training in de-escalation tactics - improve training in de-escalatiion tactics. okay so they just need to improve training whatever that means.

and take prior records into greater account when making hiring decisions. While do they not do that now and what does greater account mean.

It would also increase data collection on the use of force, weapon discharge and no-knock warrants- okay do they not collect data oh but they just need to increase it. this data now and

making lynching a federal crime, among other things. okay when was the last time there was a lynching? Okay lynching is bad and to make it a federal crime should help reduce the amount of lynching.

Look at your very first sentence. You suck. First. It is “their” not “there” secondly it is “life” not live. And thirdly “you are going to bride them.” What the actual fuck? Did ewe mean “bride them”? Or “bribe them”?

Dis why we say stay in skewl.
