Durbin says Booker, Scott should revisit police reform
The hill ^ | 01/29/2023 | Stephen Neukam

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) urged a pair of senators that previously led talks on police reform to revive their push to pass a bipartisan reform package in the wake of the death of Tyre Nichols after he was beaten by police in Memphis.

Sens. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.) led negotiations on a policing reform bill that failed in 2021 after the murder of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minnesota. After the House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, its Senate counterparts ultimately gave up on efforts to find a compromise.

Best reform: hire cops on merit, not race. Even if it means hiring more whites.

No. Stay out of it. It is largely due to Congress
‘dabbling around with’ police policy and management that has got us where we are now. Take a look at Chicago, LA or New York as reference.
Es not your yob! At least not directly.

“How bout some ethnic reform.....tell blacks not to run from the cops and then subsequently continue to resist when pulled over.”

Or teach cops not to go five on one with a 140 pound kid or they will end up in the general population of a Tennessee prison where they will not be welcomed by the Latin Kings, Aryan Brotherhood or any black prison gang.

In prison, all alone, and always looking over their shoulder.

Democrats have destroyed local policing. They need to keep their dirty hands off local matters. The U.S. Senate has NO ROLE TO PLAY in local matters.

Fix the border. Fix the economy. Check out what is going to Ukraine...

And get rid of all the climate change junk you're funding in dreaming of changing the climate. You're not gonna change the climate...not even a tad...

You'll never have meaningful reform based on a lie any more than you'll ever end discrimination by discriminating.

Exactly. Why is it even being discussed as a Federal Government concern?

Read the Constitution, dipsticks!

Congress has no business “reforming” police. None.

Police Reform is also known as National Police Force among the leftists.
