SCOOP: A new Congressional resolution to overturn recent local police reforms in Washington, D.C. is in the works, two sources tell Axios.
The new resolution targets reforms to criminal justice and the Metropolitan Police Department that the D.C. Council approved in the aftermath of the police murder of George Floyd in 2020.
Some of the reforms — including a ban on police using neck restraints — have been on the books through temporary legislation since the summer of 2020, when protests erupted nationwide over racism and policing. But legislation making those changes permanent — approved by the D.C. Council late last December and currently under congressional review — included several new provisions, including some opposed by Mayor Muriel Bowser, who left the bill unsigned.One provision Bowser objected to is a local watchdog, Office of Police Complaints, having "unfettered access" to D.C.
