America needs police reform. Properly funding the police ensures the safety of our communities as well as our men & women in the line of duty.

John Kennedy and others were against your Bill and even Chairman Grassley...who signed on as Co-Sponsor with you would, not put it up for debate which caused it to "die"....you introduced it several times in different forms then accused Dems of blocking it.. Showing not serious.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
If you are serious then list the REFORMS in the Bill that will address the issues we have had with Blacks being stopped vastly more often than Whites...lying on Police Reports....(which happened in every major incident)....even the issues of 1/2 of Black Officers seeing racism?
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
When McConnell says, bluntly that his Goal is to "make Obama a 1 term President"....."stopping Biden's administration".....then when asked what will be his agenda if he takes back majority..."I will tell you when we do"........ That tells you no serious in resolving issues.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
So please list provisions of Bill that would have stopped Tamir Rice...Terrence Crawford III...George Floyd from being killed maybe you can get an ally in me...(Note: I have read all the Bills and have not seen it)....or will you continue to Tweet slogans?...Grandfather Watching!

BTW What does police Funding Mean...... Training does not stop a person from seeing another Human as a Human...morals they were raised with does..how about Hiring Reform? Many US Police Departments sent Military Grade Equipment to Ukraine....why do Police need Military Equip?
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
Finally let's address the Narrative of Police Safety as an excuse for some of the abusive behavior.... 18,000 Police Departments in US 800,000 Sworn Officers Most dangerous interaction according to police is traffic stop 25 Million/Yr Avg Police Killed Feloniously 65/Yr Facts.

Ask average Black Parent with a Male Child what they fear most for them....it is not Crime but possible interaction with Police..... Over Policing...and Biased Policing.... How will your Bill Address that? Do you even acknowledge this fact...or would it hurt with White Voters?

So why did you decide to self implode it when you could’ve gotten it done well before the elections for Governors in VA and NJ so this seems like a political statement you want to use for re-election please either sit down or actually bring the #gerogefloydjusticeandpolicingact

So explain what police reform means? You keep putting out slogans but never concrete examples of how we can fix the issue. The Narrative is there are "Bad Apples".....when in actuality there is a "Rotten Orchard" Look at every example of police misconduct, officers stood by.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
The solution is holding Professionals responsible. 1. Body cams cannot be turned off or mutted...Immediate termination. 2. Officers who DO NOT intervein when officer(s) are abusive or criminal...Immediate suspension without pay. 3. Lying on police report...Immediate termination
