After a week of #GeorgeFloydProtests Democrat leadership from the House/Senate will roll out their package of #policereform bills this morning. Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer and members of the Congressional Black Caucus will address reporters in a few min #NexstarDC

Lawmakers lining up, preparing to speak about #policereform package. Waiting on leadership #NexstarDC

Rep. Karen Bass, chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, leads off on #policeReform Package #NexstarDC

I don’t know that I’ve seen this large of a coalition introducing legislation in this room

Rep. Karen Bass/Speaker Pelosi introduce #JusticeinPolicingAct

After Speaker Pelosi mentioned anti-lynching legislation introduced by Sen. Booker/Harris, Senator Harris shook her head, small sign of frustration that her anti-lynching bill was blocked by a single member last week #NexstarDC

We in America are one same nation, but we have wildly different experiences with police -@CoryBooker #JusticeinPolicingAct #NexstarDC

We’re here because black people wanna stop being killed -@SenKamalaHarris #JusticeinPolicingAct #NexstarDC

Senator @KamalaHarris says for far too long America assumed to make communities safer meant more policing in those communities. Instead, she said a better solution is more investment in those communities #JusticeinPolicingAct #NexstarDC

The package includes a national use of force standard, independent investigations in any case where law enforcement is charged w/abuses, changes legal standard for when force is justified #NexstarDC

Congressman @RepJeffries says chokehold tactic is inhumane, unjust, unAmerican, and if his bill passes it will also be unlawful #JusticeinPolicingAct #NexstarDC
