treatment of People of Color vs Caucasians - isn't this an opportune time for the Dems in the House to put through legislation to right the wrongs and get some conformity across the country. Isn't this the time for the Dems to capitalize on this situation and put the Repugs in the Senate on the defensive?

It would seem to me that it would be disastrous for a Repug to vote against any legislation that would speak to correcting the wrongs that have been uncovered in this country by this incident.

This is an election year and the Repugs will be hard pressed to vote against anything that could help quell the protests and calm the violence around the country. It will reflect badly on the Repugs and will drive home their racism and disdain for people of color and accentuate their fascist ways.
