Congressional Black Caucus Focusing On Police Reform Legislation

The Congressional Black Caucus is drafting police reform legislation with support from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in response to George Floyd's death. The proposed reforms include improved training, a ban on chokeholds, and removing legal shields for police. Karen Bass emphasizes the need for visible action to ensure African Americans feel represented. Both parties condemn the deaths of Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, with Mitch McConnell acknowledging systemic issues. The Black Caucus plans a virtual town hall to discuss these matters further.
