Tide Turning On Police Reform Legislation In Congress | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

  1. Make it required that every person who carries a badge, also carries some form of proof that the (law enforcing) person has undergone a reasonably comprehensive psychological review/evaluation within the past three months. Every month another person who represents law enforcement, is found to be a serial killer or corrupt cop, or as in the case of the officer who deliberately killed mr floyd, should have been terminated years ago.

  2. The same people that say: We can’t defund the police” are the same people who keep saying; Defund environmental, Defund Medicare, Defund our schools, Defund the postal service, Defund the arts, Defund food safety, etc, cetera..๐Ÿค”

    1. After the ferguson riots, baltimore saw a 40% increase in violent crimes because police stopped patrolling and taking a passive approach. Black communities are the most affected by decreased police presence. Are you in favor of blacks and minorities suffering more than they need to? Are you a RACIST?

    2. I don’t think that’s true. The words bandied about, ‘defund” or “disband” are not being used in the same way across the populace. Some protesters want to stop money going to police forces. “Defund”. Others want money being used for ATVs and tanks to be re allocated to social programs and re educating. They use “defund” to mean “re allocate” . Camden “disbanded” the police dept. The same police force is there, retrained. That’s not disbanding, in practice, it’s symbolic. The terminology is all over the place. Now, I think, if you pull the literal versions of these words, DEFUND. Take away the money for a police force. DISBAND. Make it so there is no police force….There would be trouble. It wouldn’t be John Oliver’s The Purge, maybe, but there are those who would take advantage. We can do anything, it’s true. But everything comes with it’s own consequences. My guess is politicians will use the terms, but alter the definitions.

    1. I’ve have done videos on this. Justice Anthony Kennedy, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan., will answer in the High Court of Heaven for turning the truth of God in to lie and putting forth a covenant with death. America died on June 26, 2015 and sadly all these judges are going to pay for eternity for this ruling.

  3. If the discussion is not about”QUALIFIED IMMUNITY” then there should be no discussions. This law that was created and upheld by the supreme court’s only allows for an umbrella of guaranteed protection for the police to continue the brutality that we’re witnessing today and have witnessed for centuries now…

  4. that is wonderful! ty rep bass and mr velshi, good/positive news has been in very short supply for far too long!

  5. Hay this is good news, both sides working together. When NZ banned guns BOTH SIDES of the house worked together. And the people thanked them for that.

  6. The problem is not they are not interested in talking about it and nodding their heads in support. The problem is all of these bipartisan issues from the House are on Moscow Mitch’s desk and have been for years now. Some of the best needed legislation is rotting away never to be brought to the floor of the Senate. Because Mitch does not want to upset some voters who might vote against him and other Republicans. Nothing gets done even when the country is 70% and up in favor of it some due to racism and others because of political fallout by politicians to afraid to do their jobs

  7. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธof course cuz #GeorgeFloyd changed the World
    โ˜ฎ๐Ÿ’• #blacklivesmatter

  8. Today’s meaning of racism a mob destroying, burning, stealing, beating innocent people and merciless spilling the blood and killing of other African Americans in the name of racism.

  9. This life long Republican believes that is is past time to get the narcissists out of the police force. FBI data shows that 40% of American police are narcissists.

  10. Hey, that guy is speeding should we pull him over, no he will just say he can’t breath instead of the old line of you pull me over just because I’m black while some one films it…..
