The TEXAS State Senate pass police reform bills. (SHOCKING! Right?)

This is GREAT news, extremely surprising, but GREAT, all the same. SB 2212 and SB 68, have passed the Senate, both receiving 31-0 votes. These bills will require a police officer to render aid and mandate that cops must intervene or file a report on other cops regarding police brutality. They've both passed the Senate and are on their way to the House.

I'm cynical though, I wonder how much of it is damage control for every Republican being called a racist over the Jim Crow voting bills.
