I am pleased that the House will vote next week on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. I encourage the House to pass it. Following Senate consideration, I hope to be able to sign into law a landmark police reform bill.

Is this the kind of bill we have to pass so we can know what's in it?

Don’t do so much of a drug that impairs your breathing.

We don’t need a law for that, do we?

How about we have a trial and find out what really happened before we start naming laws after people? Don't let a good crisis go to waste politicians.

George Floyd was a complete piece of shite and died of a chinese fentanyl overdose. The world would be a better place if he was never born.

So we can’t name schools after our founding fathers because they lived in a time of slavery and did not speak out against it.

But we are naming laws after a convicted armed burglar and verified illegal drug user?

George Washington and Jefferson actually did speak out against slavery. George Washington had to keep his willed manumissions of his slaves secret from his heirs until he was on his death bead because he was afraid they’d circumvent his wishes. Something like that at that time was seen as radical.

Hopefully people know what the real intent behind this is. The federal government wants to take over local PDs.

Will this legalize counterfeiting and resisting arrest?

Nope, already answered by another poster.

Just look at a summary sheet, you'll quickly lose track of the number of times "funding" and "grant" is used. You'll end up with police who do nothing but smile & wave when the perps are black because it's not worth their job or the potential criminal charges.
