Lawmakers return to the Capitol this week confronted with a new round of appeals for police reform following the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police.
— Five officers have been fired and charged with murder"We are calling on our colleagues in the House and Senate to jumpstart negotiations now and work with us to address the public health epidemic of police violence that disproportionately affects many of our communities," Congressional Black Caucus Chair Steven Horsford said in a statement Sunday.
CBC Executive Director Vincent Edwards says Nichols' parents have accepted an invitation from Horsford to be his guest at Mr. Biden's State of the Union address next month. "I think and Scott should sit down again quickly to see if we can revive that effort," Durbin said Sunday on ABC's"This Week." "Senator Scott has been working on police funding and reform for the better part of the last decade," a Scott spokesperson told CBS News."He never left the negotiating table and has encouraged his colleagues on the other side of the aisle to join him in his continued efforts to increase safety in our communities."
