Chair jerry nadler. Death ofer the tragic george floyd has been a wakeup call for americans feel yet the streets are lined with protesters demanding fundamental change in the culture of Law Enforcement and meaningful accountability for officers who commit misconduct. Today, we answer that call. We value and respect the brave and Honorable Police officers who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. We know most Law Enforcement officers do their jobs with dignity, selflessness and honor. They are deserving of our respect and gratitude for all they do to keep us safe. We must also acknowledge that there are too many up exceptions, too many Law Enforcement officers that dont uphold protecting and serving. The reality for too many americans, especially for too many africanamericans, is that Police Officers are perceived as a threat to their liberty, their dignity, and all too often, to their safety. And to those who do not believe it, look at these tragic statistics. Are mor
And to justify this crucial for decades. The police violence, racial bias and the lack of transparency and accountability and law enforcement. Unlike the republican bill, the justice and policing act will bring sorely needed accountability to the Police Officers were guilty of misconduct including the qualified immunity report and io the use of force standards and policies. A if they want to understand why they had enough votes to proceed gyesterday, the republican policing failed because it wasnt a serious enough effort at reform. The legislation itself was so weak and narrow it could hardly be considered a constructive starting point. Thats why more than 130 Civil Rights Organization who wants nothing more to see progress on these issues strongly urge the senators to oppose the republican bill. The because of the deeply problematic and incremental approach. Thats why the lawyer representing the families of george floyd and Breonna Taylor said he was shocked that the republican bill c

Jimmy welcome, everybody thank you so much for watching were going to get to everything thats going on in the country right now.

Ms. Bass the gentlelady from florida, representative wasserman schultz, for one minute. The speaker pro tempore the gentlelady from florida is recognized for one minute. Ms. Wasserman schultz thank you, mr. Speaker. Today we take a crucial step toward racial justice. We do it in the name of george floyd, Breonna Taylor, tony mcdavid, corey jones and all those lives unjustly taken by Law Enforcement. We mourn and say their names on the house floor because their lives and all black lives matter. So lets move to end the policing culture that lacks Real Transparency and accountability. Lets unite to ban barbaric choke holds and build a registry so Problematic Police dont just move to another town to keep a badge. Lets outlaw racial profiling and dangerous noknock warrants. This bill targets bad actors and practices and affirms the standards p
Battle stations. That is what plays me everyone goes to their battle stations. Immediately people go well once again another example of blacker people resisting the cops and being criminals and why are you driving drunk and why are you running away from the police. And then of course you have other people, you know, in their battle stations saying of course, another story of cops who immediately shoot a black man for just sleeping in his car. But like, it is messy. No one wants to admit that the thing is messy. Its [bleep] messy. If the story didnt happen now, maybe we would be looking at it differently. But it is a messy story. It is not the per sphect perfect story. And in a weird way it not being the perfect story means we shouldnt look at it in the most perfect way possible. We should try and break it down and understand how Something Like this comes to be. Because we dont always have video like this, we dont always have stories like this. We dont always even look at it like. This
