President Biden Vetoes GOP Effort to Block DC Police Reform Law

President Biden vetoed a Republican-led measure to overturn police reforms in Washington, DC.
The legislation contained provisions restricting certain policing tactics and expanding access to police disciplinary records and body-camera footage.
Biden said that while he did not support "every provision" in the D.C. policing bill, "this resolution from congressional Republicans would overturn common-sense police reforms."
D.C. statehood advocates thanked Biden for standing with the District.
Biden called on Congress to pass commonsense police reform legislation and offered condolences to the family of George Floyd on the third anniversary of his murder.
