Biden vetoes measure repealing DC police reform

President Joe Biden issued a veto Thursday on a resolution that would overturn a Washington D.C. police reform bill. Republican lawmakers criticized the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, which includes the banning of chokeholds and new standards for the use of force. In his veto, Biden argued that the Republican-led legislation to repeal the bill would “overturn commonsense police reform.”
