On Wednesday, March 10, the United States House of Representatives passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020, an ambitious attempt to take apart, examine, and reconstruct policing nationwide. The bill, which attempts to eliminate some of the many elements of systemic racism and inequity found in policing, is named in honor of George Floyd, whose murder at the hands of policemen sparked national outrage this summer. Among the bill’s provisions are a national ban on chokeholds, the dissolution of “qualified immunity”, and the easing of standards to prosecute law enforcement officers who are accused of wrongdoing. 

The bill passed 236 - 181, with nearly complete opposition from House Republicans. The three Republicans who joined House Democrats in supporting the bill were Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Will Hurd of Texas, and Fred Upton of Michigan.

Sponsored by Karen Bass D-CA, the bill “addresses a wide range of policies and issues

regarding policing practices and law enforcement accountability. It includes measures to increase accountability for law enforcement misconduct, to enhance transparency and data collection, and to eliminate discriminatory policing practices.”

In addition to subjecting law enforcement to rightful punishment for constitutional violations, the three main goals of the bill are to “lower the criminal intent standard — from willful to knowing or reckless — to convict a law enforcement officer for misconduct in a federal prosecution,” limit qualified immunity, and authorize the Department of Justice to issue subpoenas in investigations of police departments for allegations of discrimination.

[LMAO]

 Get ready for 1970s style crime rates

[PeteS in CA]

Get ready for a mass-shrug by good police officers.

[Killer Clouds]

The demonrats won't have to defend the police. There won't be any police left or anyone to take the job.

Floyd, the man who had three times the amount of fentanyl in his blood that is considered fatal...

And his death is everyone's fault but his own...

Why is it so many of the left's role models celebrate death and personal destruction?

The mere fact this low life is a national hero is beyond reasonable explantion.   It sure has jaded me into mass disgust of anything I hear or see from the boob tube.

The DCP and it's disciples celebrate criminals because that is what they are. Floyd was already a dead man walking. Chauvin didn't need to have his leg on Floyd's neck. He would have died anyway.

Agree 100%, and why Chavin should not be seeing anything more harsh than and an Excessive Force charge.

It’s already happening

Chauvin will be scapegoated and railroaded unfortunately.

[LMAO]

Chauvin will be scapegoated and railroaded unfortunately.

Heard the same thing when it came to Zimmerman, Officer Darren Wilson, the Baltimore police officers in the Freddie Gray case, the cops in the Breanna Taylor case....

I hope Chauvin doesn't get convicted.

[LMAO]

You start out with a general public that is reluctant to convict cops unless it’s really justified.

Watching more of that video surrounding the arrest, plus the results of the Hennepin Co Coroners report, in addition to the fact that the knee on the back of the neck was an approved and taught technique in the Minneapolis police department,  would make it very tough for any jury to convict a cop of murder.

 Based on what I’ve listed,  the  only reason this is going to trial is because Keith Ellison is the AG of Minnesota

Yeah a Muslim wife beating demonrat as AG.

[LMAO]

Watch, as this case falls apart on Ellison, them try to turn it into a “ Chauvin is a racist”  show.


 This is similar to what the State did in the Zimmerman/ Martin case.

[Fishrrman]

George Floyd wasn't murdered.

[Smokin Joe]

George Floyd wasn't murdered.

Right-o! He died of an Overdose of Fentanyl.

Does that mean there will be justice in burning entire districts of cities every time someone ODs?

How long before the Hennepin Co coroner is attacked?  I’ve read the autopsy report. No life threatening injuries. This case wouldn’t have been charged except for the fact that Ellison is the MN AG

Another miscarriage abortion of justice.
