So yes; it's a little nugget. The Dems were free to debate the inclusion on barring choke holds and refused not to. Now people can be honest in why they think this is.

IMO it's just like the GOP not allowing the Obama SCOTUS nominee. I don't see how folks on either side cannot see it for exactly what it was. There's no way in Hell the Dems were going to allow a GOP Senate to be the creator of a police reform bill and one that would be signed by Donald Trump and it damn sure was not because a pre-debated bill didn't bar choke holds. 

bfine that the GOP didn't even have it in the bill to begin with says more about them than the Democrats not "debating" whether it should be there or not.

You made a lot of assumptions in that post but they have nothing to do with the fact (not assumption) that the GOP didn't care and just wanted to post something that said "reform" on it.
