A sweeping overhaul of police oversight and procedures is being proposed Monday by congressional Democrats in response to the deaths of black Americans at the hands of law enforcement.
House and Senate Democrats held moment of silence at the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall, reading the names of George Floyd and others killed. They then knelt for 8 minutes and 46 seconds — now a symbol of police brutality and violence — the length of time prosecutors say Floyd was pinned under a white police officer’s knee before he died.
“We’re here to observe that pain,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, drawing on the nation’s founding with slavery.
“We’re here to respect the actions of the American people to speak out against that,” she said, before kneeling on one knee. “We are here to honor George Floyd.”
According to a draft outline obtained by The Associated Press., the Justice in Policing Act to be unveiled Monday would limit legal protections for police, create a national database of excessive-force incidents and ban police choke holds, among other changes. It outlines the most ambitious changes to law enforcement sought by Congress in years.
Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, which is leading the effort, said called it “transformative.”
“We’re in a real moment in our country,” she said Sunday on CNN, speaking after days of massive protests set off by the death of George Floyd and other African Americans involving the police.
Bass said the package from House and Senate Democrats will be bolder than any law enforcement changes of the past decade. “It is time for police culture in many departments to change,” she said. “And we believe that the legislation will make a major step forward in that direction.”

Well then they should start by example and give up their ARMED protection and any/all ARMED guards they have around their homes.
Oh, and tear down any fences and security systems they have to show us all how safe it will be without police.
What on earth is a "real moment"??
No more Reparation without Separation.
I have thought of about a dozen dystopian plots since Trump has become President.
Really stupid pathetic self sabotage moment?
Now we at least have the perfect picture to go next to the definition of “virtue signaling.”

Did you see the costumes and formation these sick bastards had on? These are the rat face communists pigs that caused so much destruction in America. I had to turn the TV off.
Part of the plan for mail in voting. Make people so frightened of Black Panthers at the polls that they won’t show up.
