White House press secretary Jen Psaki discusses Biden administration s position on police reform.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi distanced herself Tuesday from a fellow House Democrat s call to end policing in America and instead pointed out that all police cannot be painted with the same brush.
Pelosi highlighted the need for police reforms at the federal level in response to a request for comment on a controversial tweet from Rep. Rashida Tlaib who called for no more policing. Tlaib argued that policing in America can t be reformed because it s inherently [and] intentionally racist.
Pelosi touted the sweeping police reform bill that the House passed in March in honor of George Floyd, who died in May 2020 after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin allegedly knelt on his neck during an arrest for more than 9 minutes.
