National outrage over the killing of Tyre Nichols has prompted renewed calls on Capitol Hill for police reform. But in a divided Congress, bipartisan reform legislation is unlikely.

Plans are underway for Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford to meet with Biden about police reform. A date for the meeting has not yet been set.

"I believe the president has the ability to bring us together in a very unique way," Horsford said, noting Biden's role in passing gun safety legislation and the bipartisan infrastructure legislation."We expect the president to be involved in helping us reach consensus in a bipartisan way on comprehensive police accountability and justice reform."

after months of bipartisan deliberations between then-Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., and Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Tim Scott, R-S.C. "We are working to come up with opportunities to negotiate on the principles of justice and police reform that are meaningful," he said, noting he has reached out to Scott, one of the central players in previous negotiations."We are looking for ways to tackle the pattern and practices of cities like Memphis that have higher rates of use of force against Black residents."

knows the phukin M.O. because they are in with the white supremacist con game--these black token--sockpuppets are put there to give the illusion of progress--the white racist empire vets these white supremacy-friendly black sockpuppets

you can't reform a white racist, by-design , national police force, that is the feature--you have to take direct action and punish--correct bad behavior by law enforcement and the white racist police unions

no more reform talk, you can't reform white racism ; the whole white media isn't for reform; you see how fast the 'fair and objective' white media sold people the proxy war in Ukraine, and they tool sides at the behest of the state dept and the pentagon

An invasive, parasitical species that can't assimilate, claims victimhood, commits over 50% of ALL violent crime and extorts at every level, wants to run free unobstructed by laws, standards, traditions, respect, responsibility & wants to be entitled to reparations! Fooling who?

Can you confirm whether or not the officers involved were hired after the department lowered their standards?

End. Qualified. Immunity.

For Memphis Oh, I wandered on life's untimely paths with dreams in tow, Not the first to fall, but fate would have it, I too grew hostile to the world's glow. Cry, Mother, cry with me, For I've suffered just like any, you see. Poem by D. D. Oz

Jeez, if there was only something, anything that could be done to stop police from turning traffic stops into fucking murder scenes...

If there’s one thing Congress is not “divided” on its giving money to cops 🙄

The outrage is manufactured. This is being handled. The establishment media just needs new flames to take pictures of.

White policemen stayed in the background & watched after they primed their black brothers in blue to kill an unarmed black man in another traffic stop. Has anything really changed in Memphis? Can a black police chief fire white cops or just black cops? White cops need charges too

Stop the shoplifting.

trump received a “gift” of the right timing for reform after the murder of George Floyd and responded with gassing protesters. Now POTUS has an opportunity—hope his team does something!

Why not? Trump was able to get the First Step Act through and Joe claims to be a great uniter.

Serious reform is needed.

And yet you have stated nothing about the nation lowering its standards across the board ' EEO'to hire officers?!!! The hypocrisy is sickening!

This is your fault, NPR. Your bias is tearing at the fabric of American society.

Stop committing the crimes that require extra police presence

Just remember that dems filibustered timscott police reform bill.

For whatever reason, the police were hunting Tyre. That was planned. The reckless driving is on the word of cops who rightfully have no credibility and also have qualified immunity. QI IMMUNITY ONLY TRIGGERS ON LAWFUL ARREST. This was personal.

Five black officers in a majority-black police force with a black police chief was the epitome of white supremacy.

Let's not pretend the Democrats didn't just hold the house, Senate, and presidency, and chose to do nothing

Do this, there it’s sorted.

BLM

This is a 'Fill-In-The-Blank' tweet. I read it every day: same format; same last sentence. Do better. Tyre deserves it.

Thus the left's motivations come to light. I have news for you, this was the direct result of police reform programs by the left, better known as 'Diversity hires'.
