But, lemme guess----Tim Scott is a....What about the GOP Justice Act introduced by Tim Scott is insufficient? Can anyone tell me? What doesn't appeal to a Democrat more than a black man leading on an issue like this? Is it because the said black man is a Republican?
If another black man dies at the hands of a corrupt police officer, what explanation will Democrats give for not allowing debate on a bill that would have done something to solve this issue? How will they explain to the American people why they didn't act? Why did they offer resistance instead of cooperation?
Do some Democrats prefer bathing in the blood of innocent lives lost to perpetuate an easily solved problem? Were they not the ones who, two days ago, implied that if Republicans don't put forth a solution to this problem, they have blood on their hands? Now that they have, how did Democrats respond?
THEY SLAMMED THE DOOR IN A BLACK MAN'S FACE.
I will never vote for a Democrat in federal elections again. They have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are not interested in solving what ails our society, and are all the more interested in entrenching themselves in the problem instead. I am beyond disgusted. The congressional Democrats are no different than the Southern Democrats of old, fighting to preserve segregation and racist practices instead of working with their fellow Americans to rid our country of a toxic scourge. Working to preserve the problem of racism instead of solving it.
Spare me the tired refrain that you, a Democrat, will fight for minority rights, that you will stand for people of color, or that you will enact social justice.
No, you won't.
You were offered a chance to lead on an issue you so frequently champion, by a black man no less, but you slammed the door in his face.
Nonsense. Dems have made qualified immunity a core of their reform proposals.Because the bill doesn’t do as much as Dems want.
No, nothing they introduce will. What does that say about our legislative process?
Karen Bass has introduced a bill. In her opinion, a much better bill.What about the GOP Justice Act introduced by Tim Scott is insufficient? Can anyone tell me? What doesn't appeal to a Democrat more than a black man leading on an issue like this? Is it because the said black man is a Republican?

They did not like the act he submitted , is all, it was not due to the color of his skin.
I beg to differ. What if Tim Scott had been a Democrat introducing the same bill?

it does not address the problems....The bill is a stunt. Instead of taking it to the committee where both parties could have worked out the details and presented a bipartisin bill, he took it directly to the floor where he knew it would fail. He didn't present a bill. He presented what would become talking points. A political stunt.
How is it a stunt when it has 80% of what Democrats want in it? Are you really that butthurt about qualified immunity?

It doesn’t need to be eliminated, but limited. How can police have any accountability with the way it is now?Nonsense. Dems have made qualified immunity a core of their reform proposals.Because the bill doesn’t do as much as Dems want.
No, nothing they introduce will. What does that say about our legislative process?
And how would the police do their jobs effectively if qualified immunity was eliminated? I agree with eliminating no-knock warrants.

-choke holds
-no knock warrants
-shooting suspects in the back, running away
McConnell had no intention for the bill to pass... it should have followed the normal procedure for legislation.... the Committee develops the legislation within a bipartisan committee with responsibility.... they vote within the committee on the bill, adding to and taking out, to make a strong bill, then that is presented to the floor, to amend and vote on.
Mitch is playing games....
Just like the police in every other first world country does it. By respecting the rights of all citizens. By not using racial profiling, or excessive force, or overkill (literally) for petty crimes.

EVERYTHING.
1. It doesn't ban choke holds, it incentivizes states and municipalities to ban them.
2. It doesn't end "no knock" warrants.
3. It doesn't end qualifed immunity. There is no provision to make police accountable for their actions.
3. It doesn't demilitarize the police.
4. It focuses on "a few bad applies" instead of dealing with the problem with systemic racism and violence in policing.
5. The Bill was not the product of a bi-partisan committee, but rather imposed on the Senate by Republicans, with NO MEANS FOR INPUT OR AMENDMENT.
6. McConnell had NO INTENTION OF PASSING REAL POLICE REFORM. This was a setup from the beginning. If McConnell was really interested in passing a bill, he would have had it come out of a bi-partisan committee in the first place.
MConnell brought a bill to the floor he KNEW Democrats would not pass, and did so in a way which would prevent Democrats from amending it in any way - Amendments would need 60 votes to pass. Now Mitch is going to claim that the Republicans supported change, but Democrats tanked it.
And you're lapping up this lie with a fork and spoon, like always.
you lame ass ask hypothetical questions about what the reaction would be if a black person introduced the same bill as Scott.Karen Bass has introduced a bill.

Let me give you a lesson... Democrats control the house... Best way to pass a bill is for the Democrats to write the bill consult with the GOP (especially Senate), amend, and pass it... OR GOP do same visa versa but they are more interested in the Democratic Congress...
Both, actually.It doesn't do anything to address the problems. It's just an attempt to be able to say they "did something" when they didn't.
Have you even read the bill? Or were you convinced it would do nothing before it was drafted?
