Senate repeals DC police reform bill despite Biden's veto threat.
The Senate has voted to repeal the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, a soft-on-crime bill introduced by Washington, DC council members that would have changed rules governing use of force and officer misconduct. The bill would have removed DC cops from use of force and disciplinary review boards that investigate police misconduct and disclosed those records about officers in a public database. The requirement to bring disciplinary charges against cops within 90 days of a complaint being filed would have been dropped. The act would also ban officers from using some chokeholds and mandate the release of body-cam footage from all officer-involved shootings.
