Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced Friday his panel will hold a hearing on police use of force after the killing of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.
Graham said in a statement he’d spoken with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the committee’s ranking member, about the killing, which has resulted in days of protests and charges against one of the officers involved.
“Both of us are appalled at what we saw and believe it is important to have a hearing as soon as possible as to how to combat this outrage,” Graham said. “The Committee intends to call a wide variety of witnesses on the topics of better policing, addressing racial discrimination regarding the use of force, as well as building stronger bonds between communities and police.”
“We intend to shine a bright light on the problems associated with Mr. Floyd’s death, with the goal of finding a better way forward for our nation,” he added.
The announcement comes amid growing furor after video surfaced of a police officer kneeling on Floyd's neck during the arrest. Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was heard pleading for help and saying he couldn’t breathe for several minutes before dying.

Name calling shows you have difficulty rebutting the facts and arguments.
As a Christian, I worship the truth. I expect you to search for the truth as well, no matter how painful it may be.
We know his track record regarding promises, don't we?
Lindsey
Graham
ping!
Want on or off Linda's fav ping list? Just FReepmail me.
Remember that linda is up for reelection in November.
Remember also that linda announced last August he is writing a Red Flag bill.
Pass a bill, pass a bill. That will show Antifa thugs a thing or three.

Lindsey Graham is an absolute fool.
He’s done nothing for years.
If you don’t have - run out the clock on the Trump Presidency Linda - figured out yet, you never will.

Send Joe Biden out there to shoot his twice barreled shotgun into the air.
“ He has Hannity 100% fooled.”
Hannity is just a mouthpiece for the GOP establishment. He will salute anything they tell him to
His show is sooo boring
He’s acting quickly because there are riots in SC, and he has to look relevant. Protecting the home base to keep his sinecure secure.
“He has Hannity 100% fooled.”
Hannity is a blowhard who fills three hours of a daily radio show with ten minutes of content. He teases the audience with promises of “facts” he knows but can’t tell. He constantly promises imminent “big news” that never comes. He enjoys listening to himself talk and boasting. He became insufferable years ago.
If Hannity is fooled by the empty suit panderer Lindsay Graham, then Hannity is a fool.
Another hearing..
B.F.D.
“The hearing can be good if he investigates Antifa and the people who fund it (Soros, etc).”
I agree, but Linda never mentioned the last four days of death, destruction and mayhem across the nation. It’s like that didn’t even happen. Don’t look for him to investigate anything involving the riots. Partnering with Feinstein will ensure that.
“...his panel will hold a hearing on police use of force after the killing of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.”
Isn’t the cop-killing still an ongoing investigation?
He always told us that excuse for no hearings regarding Russiagate.
GMTA. That was my first thought, too. He ducked out on Flynn for YEARS using that excuse. If Graham holds this hearing after leaving Flynn and Stone unsupported against rampaging coupists he will be a proven 100% FRAUD.
Perhaps thats what these riots are really about as all the investigations point to one person responsible for starting and running of the Russian Collusion overthrow attempt - and that former president Obama.
Go any further in these investigations would be to indict people and that means people rat out Barry and then you got to indict him.
They never counted on the honey badger president Trump
Thank you for the analysis.
Name calling shows you have difficulty rebutting the facts and arguments.
Your long screed shows you have no interest in the facts.
The facts are 4 cops applied force to a handcuffed and unconsciousness prisoner with no pulse for many minutes. No amount of furious spinning is going to change the basic facts of this case. Support these dirty cops if you wish. Those not obsessed by race won’t be.
Flimsey Grahamnesty’s only interest is in passing amnesty for illegal aliens.
What does race have to do with it?
Vote him OUT - NOW
