6:55Now PlayingReports show that Americans on both sides have united in majority favor of police reform bills, such as the George Floyd bill, which is being supported by Tyre Nichols' parents at the White House. John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report.
After Tyre Nichols killing, a wide majority of Americans favor George Floyd police reform bill
"A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that Americans favor every major reform in the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act — and that even Republicans support the vast majority of them.
Yet the poll also reveals why last month’s brutal killing of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers may not be enough to overcome gridlock in Congress, where the bill remains stalled after passing the House in 2021.
According to the survey of 1,585 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Feb. 2 to Feb. 6, the sort of incremental police reform proposed by the George Floyd Act is unequivocally popular.
In fact, the number of Americans who agree that “we need to fix the police by reforming the existing system” (59%) is four and a half times as large as the number who want to “defund and reinvent our approach to public safety” (13%) and three and a half times as large as the number who say "we should not reform or defund the police” (17%)."
