                         STOP POLICE BRUTALITY

  (Mr. JEFFRIES asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Speaker, I respect those police officers in every 
community who are there to protect and serve and those who have fallen 
in the line of duty, but we cannot tolerate police violence, and we 
cannot tolerate police brutality.
  George Floyd was murdered by an out-of-control police officer. When 
will it end?
  Amadou Diallo, 42 shots, police officers found not guilty.
  Sean Bell, 50 shots, police officers found not guilty.
  Eric Garner, choked to death, police officers let go by the grand 
jury.
  Decade after decade after decade, when will it end?
  This time must be different. Those perpetrators must be prosecuted to 
the full extent of the law, and Congress must do everything in its 
power to stop this type of tragedy from ever happening again.
