Reuters: Congress fails on police reform. Now what?
The promising effort to reform American policing that was trumpeted as an all-out endeavor in Congress following the largest racial-justice protests in a generation has culminated into nothingness.

It's clear that police reform will not happen on the national level without bipartisan support.
"We're able to get bipartisan agreement on sentencing or drug policy, but when it comes to policing it's been harder to get Republicans on board," said Inimai Chettiar, federal director for the Justice Action Network.
