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.

But the Dems found that one little nugget that they can claim the GOP is "Trying to get away with murder" on their "token" Bill. 

Literally chokeholds murdering people is why there were protests and calls for reform.

It ain't a "nugget" unless you're on the side thinking killing suspects by choking them is okay.
