Policing – Summary and Minimum Requirements (9/21/21)ġ. The contents of that document are reprinted below: "What I did not agree to was the cuts that come from noncompliance."ĬBS News obtained a document from Booker's office outlining Democrats' final offer on police reform before the talks collapsed, along with the "minimum requirements" they had for any potential bill. "The Trump executive order I actually agree to," Scott replied.
"But this would codify the Trump executive orders," said CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent and "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan. "We have about a billion dollars in grant money that goes to police," the South Carolina Republican said Sunday on "Face the Nation." "When you start saying, 'In order to receive those dollars, you must do A, B and C, and if you don't do a B and C, you literally lose eligibility for the two major pots of money' - the Byrne grants and the COP grants - when you tell local law enforcement agencies that you are ineligible for money, that's defunding the police. Scott, for his part, said attaching strings to federal money was a nonstarter for Republicans in the latest debate. The orders also conditioned the release of federal grant money to local departments on their adoption of reforms.
Trump's orders, like the legislative effort that fell through last week, included reforms like a ban on chokeholds and improved federal data collection efforts.
