South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, the Republican leading a group of GOP senators on police reform amid national protests over the killing of George Floyd and other black people by the police, said Sunday that he thinks Democrats and Republicans will agree on some form of legislation to address the problem.
“Is there a path forward that we take a look at the necessity of eliminating bad behavior within our law enforcement community? Is there a path forward? I think we’ll find that,” Scott said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“So there are approaches that are very similar and somewhat different at the same time. I think we’re going to get to a bill that actually becomes law,” he added.
Calls for sweeping reform to policing come as demonstrations against racism and police brutality continue across the country. The variety of proposals on police reform has been a major point of contention between the parties.
