鈥淪enator Tim Scott鈥檚 bill falls painfully short of what鈥檚 needed to create real change in policing. By not banning the use of no-knock warrants or not offering real solutions to holding law enforcement accountable, the bill fails to provide the systemic change that this moment demands.

鈥淲hat鈥檚 even more alarming is that the bill increases federal funding to police and does not end qualified immunity 鈥� a court-created doctrine that can make it nearly impossible for people to obtain monetary damages against police officers who violated their rights.听
