Democrats, who have spent the last couple months whining and demanding that we reform America's police force, are reportedly waiting until next year to enact these reforms.
The move seems strictly political as Democrats are hoping to control the Senate and White House next year and will be able to push through a much more radical police reform package if they are able to take the House, Senate and Presidency.

Check out what the Daily Wire reported:
House Democrats have proposed sweeping reforms that outright ban police chokeholds, create a national registry of alleged police misconduct (which could open the door for police getting wrongly punished for exaggerated or made up citizen complaints), among other reforms. Republicans in the Senate, by contrast, reject the draconian measures supported by Democrats while still wanting reforms, including federal incentives for reforms.Instead of accepting Republican reforms that Democrats also want but they say don’t go far enough, the Left would rather wait until they may get everything they want, assuming that not only does former Vice President Joe Biden win the election, but Democrats regain control of the Senate by enough of a majority that they can push through whatever bills they want, as they could during the first two years of the Obama administration.While Biden may win the election, the odds of Democrats winning that many Senate seats is pretty slim. The party may just do away with the filibuster in order to ram through legislation, however.The Hill spoke to several Democrats who now support waiting until after the election to pass any police reforms, including Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), who leads the Congressional Black Caucus and is the lead sponsor of the House Democrat bill. Bass said last week that she was not even negotiating with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), who is the lead sponsor of the Republican Senate bill.
Many Democrats made it clear that they would be waiting until after the election to enact their police reform.
“Rather than coming up with a piece of the police reform act … we should really push this over until after the election and move something that is much more powerful,” said Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL).
“We don’t want to make a mockery of this moment,” he continued. “We don’t want to see something passed into law that is weak, watered down and whitewashed.”

Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) also commented on the matter.
“We’re steadfast in not allowing the Senate to dissect the bill,” she added. “It may be that we go into 2021, but I’m not prepared [to] say that that’s our strategy.”
D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) blamed the coronavirus pandemic for their inaction on police reform..
“There is not enough time to fix it this year,” Holmes said. “There’s an understanding well beyond me that you don’t need to get everything done this year in the midst of a pandemic when you’re not getting very much done anyway.”
The Hill reported that House Democrats now “belies the urgency of just a few weeks ago, when Democrats were hoping to seize the momentum generated by the massive protests that followed the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed African American man, in the custody of Minneapolis police on May 25.”
