House Democrats Pass George Floyd Justice In Policing Act

The George Floyd Justice Act now heads to the Senate where it will be added to the queue behind the Equality Act and HR 1.

Axios:

“The House voted 220 to 212 on Wednesday evening to pass a policing bill named for George Floyd, the Black man whose death in Minneapolis last year led to nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice.

Why it matters: The legislation overhauls qualified immunity for police officers, bans chokeholds at the federal level, prohibits no-knock warrants in federal drug cases and outlaws racial profiling. …

“The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act will address systemic racism, curb police brutality and save lives.” …

The House passed a similar police reform bill last year, but it was not considered by the Republican-led Senate and was opposed by President Trump. …”

You can add it to the progressive wish list of things which aren’t happening and for the same fundamental reason. Woke progressives are simply too concentrated in large metro areas and too culturally toxic to White working class voters with traditional values who live in rural states with hold disproportionate power in the Senate and the Electoral College. They can’t even raise the minimum wage!
