I would say it was the people that are driving it, but the Democrats are somewhat faster to jump on the bandwagon than Republicans, and far faster than the administration.  They had at least considered reform before the recent racist murder and were able to put the ideas on what it should look like together quickly.  

I have long considered the Republicans the party pandering to racists.  They have a bit of a balancing act right now, trying to ride the mood of the country while not loosing the racist part of the vote.  Congressional Republicans seem to be leaning towards the mood of the country.  Trump seems to be leaning toward police violence and law and order.  Net trend is towards reform, but not enough has been done yet.

It will be interesting to see of Mitch McDonald tries his usual delaying tactics in the Senate, or if Trump thinks about vetoing reform. I would be inclined to doubt it with the mood of the country as it is and both facing elections, but those two have been tone deaf before.

I know that you've made the mistake of associating me and others with racism as your racists and ignorant racist believers continue to show us obvious signs of racism and support for racism and promotion of racism. You may as well be clan because you and others aren't all that much different than them these days.
