TL;DR

The House voted to dismantle a Washington, D.C. police reform law passed in the wake of George Floyd's death, with 14 Democrats joining Republicans in the 229-189 vote. The law bans the police use of chokeholds, requires the release of body camera footage after violent incidents, and publicizes the disciplinary records of police.

The White House has said President Biden would veto the resolution of disapproval related to the George Floyd-inspired police reform law.
