AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
The GOP Senate majority is set to vote on police reform legislation introduced by Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), also known as the JUSTICE Act. Senate Democrats signaled that they will block the legislation, claiming that the bill is βhalf-assedβ and does not reach far enough. The JUSTICE Act will ban the use of chokeholds, improve hiring practices and regulate βno-knockβ warrants, among other things, but does not include an explicit provision to end qualified immunity.
