Senator Barrasso: ‘We Need Real, Sensible Justice Reform’
U.S. Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming spoke on the Senate floor this week about the JUSTICE Act, a bipartisan bill that will implement important, substantial reforms to the justice system. Senator Barrasso said that rather than defund, we must defend the police as appropriate and make sure that we invest more in law enforcement, not less, and that we need to improve police training, accountability, transparency, recruiting and community engagement.
Barrasso said the bill is written to garner bipartisan support, and that he hopes some of his colleagues on the other side of the aisle will join in the effort. Senator Barrasso added that it is a sensible measure that will make bipartisan justice reform a reality, and that it’s not a political exercise, it’s practical legislation, and it deserves to become law.

We need real sensible leaders too…starting with the White House problem.Perhaps Bolton’s new book will shed some light on this problem.

I dont think that the federal govt. should be wading into something that is clearly a state/city/county issue. This should be up to the local governing entities, and the taxpayers that live there. Perhaps real justice reform should address the two tier just-us system that congress and bureaucrats enjoy, while we the people must abide by the laws that you create. No one is above the law.
