Congress, Do Something about Police Violence

   The whole nation is talking about police reform. Do something, do something, do something, they say. The polls are coming back saying 59 percent of Americans want reforms.

   1.) A stunning 74 percent of them favor requiring police nationwide to wear body cameras. 

   2.) A whopping 71 percent say we should create a national police misconduct registry.

   3.) A surprising 63 percent want to make it easier to prosecute officers accused of wrong doing.

   4.) A wide majority, 57 percent, suggest potentially dangerous techniques such as chokeholds should be banned.

   Oh, there are other things being proposed, but those are four of the more popular ones. The question is, why doesn't Congress do something? At least pass into law the most-popular proposals.
