Chauvin was eventually convicted on three charges: second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter. He is awaiting sentencing and is expected to serve at least 12 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>The president had pledged, during his special address to a joint session of Congress last month, that the Senate would pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act by the one-year anniversary of Floyd\u2019s death, but Congressional sources told Politico that the White House does not expect that the police reform bill will pass anytime soon and that they are waiting on a bipartisan \u201ccompromise\u201d agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[A]fter calling Congress to task, the White House has taken a largely deferential approach to the negotiations. Senior staff have been in frequent contact with Hill negotiators but are also giving lawmakers space as they work out a compromise on the major piece of legislation named after Floyd,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/05\/22\/biden-floyd-police-reform-deadline-490206\">Politico noted Sunday<\/a>. \u201cNo major red lines have been set. Nor have they stressed obedience to the timeline that the president himself touted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Racial justice advocates, including Rev. Al Sharpton, told Politico that they are fine with the delay if it means the eventual bill will have \u201cteeth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy concern is, and I\u2019ve communicated this to the White House, is that we come with a toothless bill to meet a hard deadline,\u201d Sharpton told the outlet. \u201cI\u2019d rather have a bill with teeth late than a toothless bill on time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Jen Psaki also defended the White House\u2019s delay on the bill, telling reporters that the bipartisan compromise bill will mean a more effective measure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not going to slow our efforts to get this done, but we can also be transparent about the fact that it\u2019s going to take a little bit more time,\u201d Psaki said during a press conference Friday. \u201cThe president wants to sign it into law as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The delay may seem acceptable to the White House because it appears to stem from a disagreement between Democrats and not just between Democrats and Republicans. Some Democrats (and many Republicans) have bristled at the concept of ending qualified immunity for police officers, leaving them open to civil suits for rights violations.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
