Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), the second-ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate, took the Senate floor on Wednesday to dismiss the JUSTICE Act police reform bill presented by Republican Sen. Tim Scott, who is African-American, as a “token” bill.
“[T]hese younger people are telling us, ‘Once and for all, change it, grownups. You’re supposed to be in charge; you’re supposed to have the authority,” said the Senate Minority Whip, referencing Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police protesters.
