Democrat racism hasn’t changed — the party of slavery is still the party of slavery.
It’s everything they say they want but they don’t like that it’s been introduced by a Republican (Red State). GOP Senator Tim Scott, pictured above, was particularly furious at Nancy Pelosi for saying Republicans are trying to get away with the murder of Floyd (Daily Caller). From the Wall Street Journal: A minority of the Senate, 45 Democrats to be exact, voted Wednesday to close off any debate on a police reform bill. Not against the bill, mind you. Against even allowing the Senate to debate or offer amendments to Republican Tim Scott’s proposal. The calculation is pure election-year cynicism: Block the Senate from passing a bill that Republicans could campaign on, then denounce Republicans for refusing to pass the bill that House Democrats will pass this week that would micromanage local police departments. Blame Republicans for opposing reform when Senate Democrats were the real opponents (WSJ).
Senate Democrats Block Republican Police Reform Bill
By Jack Phillips, Epoch Times, June 24, 2020:
Story continues below advertisementDemocrats in the Senate blocked a Republican-backed police reform bill from advancing to the floor, calling for talks on how to overhaul policing after protests, riots, and unrest following George Floyd’s death in police custody.
The bill, backed by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), didn’t gather the 60 votes necessary to move forward for debate, failing by a 55-45 margin.
“If you don’t think we’re right, make it better. Don’t walk way,” Scott said before the vote. “Vote for the motion to proceed so that we have an opportunity to deal with this very real threat to the America that is civil, that is balanced.”
Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Doug Jones (D-Ala.), and Angus King (I-Maine) voted with Republicans to advance the bill.
Scott’s bill would increase transparency in departments by providing incentives for them to use body cameras and ban chokeholds by withholding grant money. Some Democrats have said that an end to qualified immunity for police officers should be included in the bill. Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine that shields police officers from civil lawsuits.
The bill would also create a national database of police use-of-force incidents and create new training procedures and commissions to study race and law enforcement.

Leave it to the dems. If it’s something good for everyone they are against it. I think they want civil unrest to continue until the election because their improperly working minds tell them that somehow rioting ignoramuses will put them in power, which is all they want, screw everything and everyone else, all they are interested in is power and control.

I could visualize Nancy Pelosi owning a plantation… For “charitable purposes”.

The Left is evil.
We’re done here.
Fight back or lose.
… We will win either way.
… … It’s just a question of how many more people the Left will be allowed to destroy.
Everyone here at Geller have a wonderful week!

I was really puzzled there for a minute by the name. I know many Americans are obsessed with choosing weird names for their kids ( a fad avidly copied by UK so called celebs of course) but TIME? Of course it was Tim. What a relief

WHAT THE democ-RATS ARE SEEKING TO DO IS TAKE AWAY INDEPENDENT POLICE DEPTS THAT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OF FORM CARE ABOUT THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND SET THE USA UP FOR FIRST A SOCIAL SVC, LEFTIST DOMINATED, PRO-GLOBALIST FORM OF DEPTS THAT OF COURSE WILL GRADUALLY BE ROLLED INTO AN INTERNATIONAL POLICE DEPT UNDER THE U.N. AT THEIR GOAL’S END! THEY SEEK TO DESTROY POLICE UNIONS THAT ARE CONTROLLED BY NON-LEFTISTS/NON-GLOBALISTS TOO! MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, THEY ARE SEEKING TO COME FOR ME AND YOU! SUPER SUMMER RIGHTISTS!
