The markup procedure for bills in either house of Congress isn't normally a place for heated debate, but Tuesday was an exception.

The discussion comes despite a Democratic expenditure binge and a counter concern for the majority party, the disturbing language by some of its members about law enforcement.
During his comments in session, Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas took issue with both.
After another member pointed out that no services were being discontinued, Roy claimed that police budgets have been the greatest casualty in the last year, citing âdramatic cuts and assaults on law enforcement.

He said that the local police are "completely demoralised." They've been crushed. Go speak with law enforcement. They are attempting to escape the city.â
Austin receives funds from the federal government, and the city is now dealing with a major homeless crisis, according to Roy.
