Congressional bipartisan police reform talks sparked by George Floyd’s death collapse without a deal
Fox News
Bipartisan talks to enact police reform measures following the loudest calls for such legislation after the death of George Floyd collapsed Wednesday.
"We made it clear from the beginning of our negotiations that a bill must ensure true accountability, transparency, and the policing standards necessary to bring an end to horrific incidents of violence Americans are routinely seeing -- like the murder of George Floyd," Booker said in a statement. "Unfortunately, even with this law enforcement support and further compromises we offered, there was still too wide a gulf with our negotiating partners and we faced significant obstacles to securing a bipartisan deal."
President Biden expressed disappointment Wednesday while accusing Republicans of failing to compromise.
