House approves sweeping police reform package that would ban chokeholds, end qualified immunity; bill now heads to the Senate
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who joined Bass and fellow Democrats on the steps of the Capitol, said the vote would honor Floyd and ensure his death, and the deaths of other African Americans, were not in vain.
"I rise on behalf of George Floyd, who was brutally murdered. And, his brutal murder touched our nation," she said."I rise because so many can no longer rise. When we build a system that provides equal justice for everyone here in America, we might finally all rise." “I want the police defunded,’’ she said. “I want those funds to go our communities. We are owed that.’’
