Do support defunding the police. The presiding officer the senator from alaska. Mr. Sullivan mr. President , theres no doubt that theres a lot of anger in our country right now. Weve seen that anger been given voice all throughout our communities in small towns and big cities. Weve seen it in our households among our families, our children, our friends. The killing of george floyd has shocked us all. The video of a Police Officer so nonchalantly kneeling on georges neck as he begged to be released, and three other officers standing by as if nothing was happening, as if it werent a human beings life being taken has shocked us.

So, i think about the people who have been working as toll takers and may look for Something Else to do. You never want someone to lose their job. I remember when the Gol
Protected civil rights writ large. So this is going to require a longterm bipartisan commitment. But not just from us in washington but folks in the state capitals, city halls, and Police Departments across the country. Because ultimately its the local officials that have the responsibility to hire and fire the police chief, to make sure that bad Police Officers are removed from the force. And thats where the nearterm responsibility needs to lie, because we dont have that capability here. But we do believe, i do believe there are concrete steps we can take right now to address the racial injustices that were exposed once again with the death of mr. Floyd. So i appreciate senator scott and leader mcconnell for responding to this crisis with the urgency that it deserves, and im proud to be part of this effort in the senate.
