\n Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer opted to block a resolution from a GOP senator that would oppose defunding the police \u2013 despite the motion calling for \u201cjustice for George Floyd.\u201d<\/p>\n

The resolution, introduced Tuesday by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), called for two simple things: \u201cjustice for George Floyd\u201d and to oppose \u201cefforts to defund the police.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Arkansas Republican wrote in the motion that the murder of George Floyd, \u201cwas a horrific act that violated the public trust and was inconsistent with the values and conduct expected of law enforcement officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to note that \u201cgood law enforcement cannot exist without accountability and justice,\u201d a sign of openness to discussions about police reform and accountability without discussion of defunding.<\/p>\n

Cotton asked the Senate on Wednesday to pass the motion by unanimous consent, a move which means a single senator could block it.<\/p>\n

In this case, it was Schumer (D-NY) who opposed Cotton\u2019s move, arguing that the motion was nothing more than rhetoric.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe great worry so many Americans have is that so many on the other side will feel rhetoric and then try to let this go away. We demand action, and we demand it now. Real action, not rhetoric.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe resolution by my friend will do nothing. Nothing. It is rhetoric,\u201d the New York Democrat said on the Senate floor.<\/p>\n

Cotton went on to suggest that Schumer\u2019s opposition to the motion showed Democratic support for defunding the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe heard from the senator from New York and not a word of the resolution itself. What we\u2019re seeing here is the Democratic leader app<\/a>arently objecting on behalf of the Democratic party in defense of the radical idea that we should defund the police,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Protests and riots have erupted across the nation in a show of outrage against the murder of Floyd, an unarmed black man, by a white police officer in Minneapolis late last month.<\/p>\n

Floyd could be heard in video of the killing pleading that he could not breathe while being pinned down by since-fired Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin for over eight minutes.<\/p>\n

In the wake of Floyd\u2019s murder, some Democrats have called for the defunding of police departments, instead allocating those funds to social programs and investing in minority communities.<\/p>\n

Not all Democrats have gotten on board the \u201cdefund the police\u201d movement. The two most prominent names from the 2020 Democratic primary \u2014 Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Vice President Joe Biden \u2014 both oppose defunding or abolishing police departments.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
