The hands of indonesian authorities. Its a month since the death of george floyd in custody of policing in the United States could be on the brink of a major change the house of representatives is debating democratic legislation that reduces Legal Protections for offices and would make it easier to prosecute police it will also band chokeholds and change the criteria for using lethal force. Exactly one month ago george floyd spoke his final words i cant breathe and change the course of history since that horrific day americans from every walk of life and corner of the country have been marching protesting and demanding that this moment of National Agony become one of National Action today with the georgia floyd just just in policing act the house is honoring his life and the lives of all killed by Police Brutality and pledging never again on wednesday a republican bill on Police Reform was rejected democrats said the proposal didnt go far enough floyds death in may spark nationwide protests with demonstrators calling for changes to policing in the u. S. Lets go live now to capitol hill to sirus she had pretends he is there for us so whats in this bill and what are the chances of it passing. You summarize some of some of the some of the things inside inside this bill that is the criminalization of the use of chokeholds as we saw employed on george floyd the ending of the bombing of no knock warrants in drug cases the case of brother taylor in louisville has received a great deal of Attention Police burst into a house shooting multiple tile times and killing her and her bad history as she slept there is also going to be a registry of disciplinary problems or for Police Officers right now is very little transparency about which Police Officers are. Doing things that they shouldnt be doing basically so this would be a National RegistryNational Database would also help in keeping track of Police Officers who at the moment are free to break the rules do terrible things in one Police Jurisdiction and then simply move to another Police Jurisdiction when theyre disciplined so thats about keeping track of bad Police Officers and its also going to make it easier to sue individual Police Officers. Its interesting that this is going to pass without any problem in the house in the coming few hours but after that its likely to go nowhere the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says hes not going to bring this up for debate or a vote in the senate they prefer their own bill which as you mentioned failed even to get a debate on the senate floor on wednesday thats less about mandating change more about encouraging change amongst Police Officers and civil Rights Groups and the democrats say thats simply not a nonstarter so it looks like we had a just too a stalemate in Congress UnlessPublic Opinion public pressure starts multiplying on members of congress to act it does seem that the more likely venue are already saying that now for Police Change is at the local level the municipal level the state level where cho codes are being banned where policies are read or rather diverting funds from Police Police departments to other measures in society in order to. Try to take another look at the world or in general it has to be said that the democrats in Congress Even though nancy pelosi is citing the protests that have occurred after George George floyd thats simply not listening to what the protest structure is saying its not lets reform the police lets lets address the few bad apples in the police force who are killing black people its defun the police that is the police is no longer the police force is no longer fit for purpose racial violence is so ingrained in Americas Police forces that now its about now what should be happening is money should be being diverted away from Police Forces into other strategies in order to ensure safety and law and order not simply by using enormous amounts of militarized force in the guise of Police Forces but using using other methods social workers investing in communities to ensure that there arent normal problems in the 1st place and to have the emphasis on deescalation Congress Still hasnt quite got that message but message is getting through at the local level in municipalities it seems. How does the life there on capitol hill many thanks dave. The shooting death of 26 year old a black woman is another case that sparking outrage in the u. S. Brianna taylor was shot and killed by police when officers broke into a house looking for drugs one of those officers has been fired but taylors mother says that thats not enough of a serious john hendren reports now from louisville kentucky. For brianna taylors mother the firing of one of the officers who took her daughters life is a beginning in that song its a start. Its not justice. Just as to mika palmer says requires criminal charges against all 3 officers who gunned briana down in her home as they searched for someone else in dismissing Brett Hankinson from the Louisville Police force on tuesday the citys police chief said i find your conduct a shock to the conscience i am alarmed in stunned you use deadly force in this fashion. I just think that. I think. Brown i was soo of be so proud to see these people adis different people all around the wire are just different everybody coming together it is standing for something the protests following on his death have led to changes louisville has outlawed no knock warrants required body cameras anytime a warrant is used and created is civilian review board its going to take more to really deter officers from engaging in this type of behavior so the conversation is to continue it needs to go much deeper and it needs to get to the root of why. Certain officers can get away with with behavior exhibited and you know they cost brianna her her life the u. S. She says needs to admit that american style policing is not working and look to other countries for leadership it was after midnight when police came here and knock the door down with a battering ram briana taylors boyfriend who had a gun license and says he thought the place was being invaded fired a shot police fired back 20 times into 3 apartments they say they came here because a drug suspect had used this address but by that time theyd already located him inside they found no drugs just pray on his body. Now across the street from city hall where louisvilles leaders can always see them is a permanent protest in briannas name to. Just an hour a new sea would do something great in any. Other this isnt the way i would have wanted it to be. Its the way it landed.
