Sure it doesn’t have to be, but isn’t that always the response?

There hadn't been a federal execution in 17 years...then trump was elected and he got that ball rolling again. We don't need that in our state. Pass the legislation and take it off the table completely.

Also, "defund the police" is a horrible slogan and provided Republicans with a major, although fake, talking point. "Police reform" is what should have been used right from the start. Polls show even some republican voters agree with that.
