WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL!
YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!
Wednesday night the House passed the police reform bill that would ban chokeholds and overhaul qualified immunity protections for officers.
The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, H.R. 1280, was passed by the Democrats with no Republican support. The Republicans show that they're not for justice reform. One Republican did vote for the bill but changed his mind and the official record changed to reflect the opposition.
The House Democrats are going to push forth big bills and force the Senate to take up the matter. |
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) was the white nationalist who made a mistake. Yeah, a big mistake by not supporting reforms for all citizens brutalized by reckless cops.
They support the police only if it benefits their political gains. The "Blue Lives Matter" nonsense is farce.
The bill is named after the man who was placed on the ground with a dirty cop's knee on his neck. That move killed him and sparked days of unrest in Minneapolis/St. Paul. The dirty cop and three participating cops were arrested and criminally charged. The dirty cop himself is facing murder.
They all could face 30 years in the iron college if convicted of state and federal crimes.
The bill is going to hopefully ban chokeholds, no knock warrants (on the federal level), and make changes to the qualified immunity doctrine. The doctrine would protect cops from lawsuits. If passed, the law could hold police officers accountable if they use deadly force on unarmed suspects or use their vehicles in dangerous pursuits which involve injury of the suspects or innocent victims.
President Joe Biden supports the bill. The White House wants to build a trust between law enforcement agencies and communities of color.
