If Republicans had accepted our proposal for body cameras, warrant requirements, use of force standards, training, and other basic reforms used by every law enforcement agency across the country, these killings could have been prevented. Instead, Republicans jammed through a partisan bill that pumped tens of billions of dollars into Trump's rogue agencies without any restraints whatsoever.
