The House voted Wednesday to dismantle a Washington, D.C. police reform law passed after George Floyd’s death. Fourteen Democrats joined Republicans to pass the bill. Unfortunately, there is no chance Joe Biden will sign it.

Republicans say the reform opens police officers up to public harassment and physical danger.

Lawmakers passed the resolution disapproving the D.C. Council’s law, the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Emergency Amendment Act, in a 229-189 vote.

Seriously, are they supposed to try to deal with armed criminals by using every option imaginable?

The GOP also says the rules are so restrictive they have led to a wave of resignations in the district.

“The D.C. police department has seen over 1,190 police officers leave the force since the beginning of 2020,” said House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., during a floor debate, as reported by Fox News. “That’s about one-third of the D.C. police department. Nearly 40% of those officers resigned. That means they chose to leave the department instead of dealing with the increasingly impossible burdens placed on them by the council. Since then, crime has been soaring in the district.”

“Officers are expressing their great concern with their feet and are leaving faster than they can be replaced. The DC police force has been depleted to an astonishing half-century low,” added Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., who sponsored the resolution disapproving of the D.C. law.

Democrats think they are minimal reforms because they don’t have to deal with harassment by the public, and are sympathetic to armed criminals.
