The lone black senator, with no criminal justice experience, has slapped this together in 2 weeks. OK.

Senate Republicans are unveiling their proposal on Wednesday to reform law enforcement in the United States

npr.org/2020/06/17/879…
If states don't supply FBI with incident reports, after 1 year, 20% of funding (max) will be cut. Each year they don't comply, max 5% more will be cut, max %25. Do the math.

Reports will be made public annually.
No Knock warrants sill allowed except now, after the fact they need to be reported to state AG., and once a year the state AG sends report to FBI. how would this have save Breonna Taylor?
Chokeholds:

Actually called Incentivizing Banning of Chokeholds

Basically you use a chokehold? We take money. This is gross
False reporting: Evidently it was legal before? This bill says it is now against the law.
Body Cams:

Government will give police departments grants to purchase and maintain body cams. They must be applied for, and rules only apply to grant recipients.

Must be activated at all times, if not, officer must be disciplined.

Make footage public if requested.
Law enforcement records retention:

AG will give each state a grant for first year.

National database. This won't work after year 1 if it's based on grants. What if a state doesn't ask for money? Dark hole in that system.
Justice for Victims of Lynching pg 43

Will @RandPaul block this now?
Commission on the status black men and boys act:

19 member panel:

4 members not in government appointed by Senate Maj and Min Leaders, House Maj and Min leaders, 1 each

Chair of Black Caucus, as well as 5 others

Staff Director of US Civil Rights office

cont.
Chair of the EEOC will choose an expert staff member

Sec of Ed will appoint expert in urban ed

AG will appoint expert DOJ staff member with experience with racial disparities in criminal justice system

HHS will appoint expert in health issue facing black men (what about women)
HUD will appoint expert in urban comms

Labor will appoint expert in labor issues effecting black men

POTUS will appoint 2 non government members, who are experts on issues affecting black men and boys

If after the commission appoints all members and it is not
bipartisan, more members can be added to balance.
Alternatives to use of force:

Training of officers, and adding staff to handle non crime issues such as mental health, substance abuse and homelessness.

How about the concept of not always shooting to kill?
Training on Duty to Intervene

AG will set up training program for states, to train their officers to intervene if another officer is engaged in an excessive use of force
National Criminal Justice Commission Act Pg. 68

There has not been a comprehensive study since 1965.

I guess Jared didn't study huh.
Law Enforcement Agency Hiring and Education Pg 90

Amends Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968

Black and/or brown areas, need to hire black or brown cops. No all white forces allowed anymore.
Reauthorization of Law Enforcement Grant Programs (this expired in 2012)

bja.ojp.gov/program/jag/ov…
Training:

The National Museum of African American History and Culture Council shall have governance over this aspect of education for officers
Closing The Law Enforcement Consent Loophole Act Pg 100

a federal law that law enforcement cannot engage in sexual acts with the arrested persons
My opinion? Lots of good stuff, however, after the 1st year, a lot of it is voluntary by the states.
