Actually Republicans tried to push through a weak sauce law that didn't do everything that needed to be done just so they could claim the political high ground.

If they had juts agreed to some more terms, like barring choke holds, I think it could have gotten done.  But for some reasons Republicans stood strong on a practice that is known to be deadly and  is laready barred in most police forces.
