Biden administration stands down on policing commission, focuses on legislative route instead
CNN
The Biden administration is standing down on a campaign promise to create a White House-led commission and instead moving forward with its efforts toward passing police reform through legislative channels.
"Based on close, respectful consultation with partners in the civil rights community, the administration made the considered judgment that a police commission, at this time, would not be the most effective way to deliver on our top priority in this area, which is to sign the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act into law," Domestic Policy Council director Susan Rice said in a statement. Politico was first to report on the decision.More Related News
