Lawmakers agreed that they were making progress toward a deal and are discussing potential compromise language on sticky issues that derailed police reform last year following George Floyd s murder by a police officer.
“I think we are making progress and I’m really encouraged, Booker told reporters after the meeting, adding that he thought there was really good momentum in the talks.
Scott added that he was optimistic and they would reconvene soon. I listen to Karen. I listen to Cory. They listen to me. I think we are still making progress, Scott said.
Many of the same lawmakers also met with family members of Black men killed by police, including Philonise Floyd, the brother of George Floyd; Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner; and Alissa Findley, the sister of Botham Jean, as the families sought to pressure Congress into taking action on the House-passed George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
