U.S. Senate Republicans unveiled proposed changes to police procedures and accountability Wednesday including an enhanced use-of-force database, restrictions on chokeholds and new commissions to study law enforcement and race, according to a draft obtained by The Associated Press. McConnell on Wednesday challenged Democrats in the Senate not to block consideration next week, but to allow the debate to begin. 32:52The package includes a mix of other proposals, including tapping the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture to create a law enforcement training curriculum on "the history of racism in the United States." Another closes a loophole to prohibit federal law enforcement officers from engaging in sexual acts with those being arrested or in custody. The Senate could vote on it as soon as next week.
