Senator @KamalaHarris this morning was about as passionate as we've seen anyone on the Senate Floor on #PoliceReform; She says the Republican bill is "lip-service", she's pushing the Senate to take up Dems' House bill #JusticeinPolicingAct #NexstarDC

The Republican bill is “fundamentally and irrevocably flawed...it’s a cul de sac.” Senator Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris leading the opposition to Republican #PoliceReform measures #NexstarDC

“Start with something bipartisan... craft a bill that can actually pass the Senate.” -@SenSchumer

Sen. @CoryBooker says McConnell and Republican leaders are intentionally setting a bill in motion that is destined to fail. Booker says protesters are NOT chanting “we want a commission...we want data” #NexstarDC

“I for one do not intend to be played...it is Democrats who are doing the real work” -Sen @KamalaHarris

FULL STORY: Senate Democrats say they’ll block the Republican #PoliceReform effort, calling it “woefully inadequate.” Senators @KamalaHarris and @CoryBooker say they’ll vote against bringing Republican bill up for debate & want their version taken up #NexstarDC
