@justinamash do you plan to introduce or support any legislation to ensure police are more held accountable or better trained in 16?
@poorpeeps This is primarily a state and local issue. Police forces should not be under federal control; dangerous to consolidate power.

@justinamash so you don't feel like you have any ability to legislate solutions that support improved police accountability or outcomes? -
@poorpeeps Under Constitution, policing is state/local. Congress has authority under 14th Amendment to ensure due process/equal protection. -
@justinamash what about suggestions in this article? Tying requirements to funding? http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/05/05/congress-left-behind-in-rush-for-police-reform … -
@poorpeeps I'll take a look. Thanks.
