TL;DR Summary

The House voted to dismantle a Washington, D.C. police reform law passed in the wake of George Floyd's death, with 14 Democrats joining Republicans in the 229-189 vote. The law bans the police use of chokeholds, requires the release of body camera footage after violent incidents, and publicizes the disciplinary records of police. Republicans say the law opens police officers up to public harassment and physical danger, while Democrats argue that Republicans have racist motives for trying to kill the D.C. law. The White House has said President Biden would veto the resolution of disapproval related to the George Floyd-inspired police reform law.
