Watch: Democrats propose policing overhaul bills
Democrats proposed a policing overhaul bill Monday amid continuing protests against police brutality nationwide.
“We cannot settle for anything less than transformative, structural change,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at a news briefing, following an 8 minute, 46 second moment of silence to honor George Floyd.
Lawmakers also cast doubt on whether the legislation would pass in the Republican-controlled Senate.
“Just last week we couldn’t even pass an anti-lynching bill in the United Sates Senate,” said Sen. Kamala Harris of California.
