Kamala Harris? Not so much.
Now what I want to know is this. Why, in nearly two years where democrats controlled both chambers of congress and the presidency the George Floyd fairness in policing act never got passed? It passed the house in March of 2021 and seems to have mysteriously died on Chuck Schumer's desk
why is that?
Now, I do have a few minor quirks with this bill in it's current format but none that the democrats would take issue with as mine center around how overbroad the dismantling of qualified immunity happens to be. I happen not to be a fan of qualified immunity in it's current form but I am also not a fan of greedy scumbag ambulance chasers being provided the means to strip a family of all their worldly possessions in the event a traffic stop escalates through no fault of their own into a violent event.
But surely among a majority of democrats some type of compromise can be achieved here? Something in the form of independent fines and sanctions administered and collected by the state and only the award of damages to the aggrieved in clear cut cases of police brutality where evidence is substantial and compelling?
Perhaps now that the drooling imbecile is on a little much needed R&R in some gay club licking his wounds we can discuss THIS topic without introducing some jive about Trump's tax returns or George Santos' underwear?
