Negotiations are stalling in the Senate as lawmakers try to strike a deal on a police reform bill. The House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act early this year. It is now being debated in the Senate, but there is disagreement on two key provisions. The first involves qualified immunity, which shields officers from civil lawsuits over constitutional violations. The second is over prosecuting police misconduct. NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson joined CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss.

One year ago, George Floyd’s killing by police in Minneapolis sparked national outrage and focused public attention on police accountability and the legal mechanisms that allow police to evade it. Qualified immunity a doctrine created by the Supreme Court in 1982 has received particular scrutiny as a shield for lawless government officials. Rightly so.
In response, a number of states have passed legislation addressing qualified immunity, and members of Congress have introduced two bills that would curtail it: the Justice in Policing Act and the Ending Qualified Immunity Act. While there is much work to be done to end qualified immunity and restore accountability, one group has been conspicuously omitted from the discussion and proposed reforms: federal police.
