NAACP leaders say Amazon isn't handling this properly.

And I'm like, 'why are you surrounding us?" said Connecticut NAACP President Scot Esdaile. "You should be surrounding the individuals that are putting the nooses up.

"This means that in the United States of America, any profession, that where you violate in a serious way, the civil rights of another American should someone be shielded?" Sen. Booker asked. "This is not about going after good officers. This is about when officers have breached the civil rights of a, of a, of another American citizen."
President Biden had hoped to get a bipartisan bill by this week, but Booker said that deadline won't be possible.
