House Democrats’ police reform bill doesn’t ban chokeholds on local or state level

1. Scott said his legislation, the JUSTICE Act, “instructed the attorney general to ban chokeholds for federal agents” and said it would reduce federal funding for police departments by 20% if they do not ban chokeholds, which is a harsher penalty than what’s included in the text of the House Democrats’ bill.
2. Eric Garner's situation would not have been cured by their ban on chokeholds because their ban on chokeholds was for federal agents,” Scott said after his police reform bill was blocked by Democrats from advancing in the Senate.
