John Conyers actually said...

"The vast majority of federal law enforcement agents perform as we would hope, and in fact often engage in acts above and beyond the call of duty."

"I call on this Subcommittee to address these issues by holding hearings and considering legislation concerning topics such as (1) the use of lethal force by state and local police departments."

"We cannot ignore the fact that we have a crisis involving use of force by police in this country."

"Unfortunately, H.R. 9 goes too far in its approach. And, for that reason, I continue to have serious concerns with this legislation."
