GOP bill only looked at data collection and training and didn't touch on outlets to hold law enforcement legally accountable. They also wouldn't touch a federal chokehold ban. 

GOP made it clear they wouldn't budge and meet halfway on the House bill. Schumer called for talks when they blocked the bill rather than just voting on a unilateral GOP bill. The GOP didn't even allow committee markups. They pushed their bill straight to the floor without any amendments or changes. 

If you refuse to even discuss mark ups in committee, you have no intention of compromise. You're just trying to say "hey, we offered a bill and they said no".
