Democrats unveiled a sweeping policing reform bill aimed at addressing racism in law enforcement, but it doesn't defund police
. The bill calls for an array of reforms to law enforcement, but doesn't go as far to support defunding police. It also doesn't condone disbanding police departments, as some localities and activists have pushed for.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in an interview with MSNBC on Monday characterized defunding as a matter for local governments, not Congress. "Funding of police is a local matter,". "From the standpoint of legislation, we're not going to that place. What we're doing is talking about how we change policy to make our policing more just."
But some Democratic lawmakers have been more direct. "You can't defund the police, that's stupid, it's crazy and anyone who talks about that is nuts," Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia"This movement today, some people tried to hijack it," House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn of South Carolina said on a private caucus call on Monday, per what multiple sources. "Don't let yourselves be drawn into the debate about defunding police forces," Clyburn added.
Do real reform
No defunding . But real reform
They won’t support it because that’s not what the American people want. Maybe journalists and blm ...that’s about it
