These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Shame on Rep. Clay Higgins & shame on anyone who thinks this is acceptable. This man didn’t just cast the lone “no” vote on exposing a global sex-trafficking network… he also grabbed a citizen for daring to ask a question he didn’t like. I hope this young man presses charges.
