But, for some reason Scott won’t acknowledge that there is systemic racism in the way officers police black people in America.
I wish Tim Scott knew how many black people police kill every year.
Named after one of his constituents who was famously shot by police officer Michael Slager, the Walter Scott Notification Act required every law enforcement agency in America to report all police shootings and deaths to the federal government.
If only there was a word to describe what Scott’s Republican bill would do to police.
The bill bans chokeholds, sets use of force reporting and…Well, you can just read the above synopsis of the JUSTICE Act because — aside from the ending qualified immunity— the Republican plan is almost a copy and pasted version of the Democratic plan, although the Democrats use-of-force reporting mirrors the Walter Scott Notification Act.
