The bill came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on policing amid calls for action against police brutality and racism after the death of George Floyd in police custody.

WASHINGTON, June 17 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Senate Republicans unveiled a bill on police reform Wednesday.

The proposal, spearheaded by Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, seeks to ban the use of chokeholds and includes new accountability and reporting requirements.

"Too often we're having a discussion in this nation about are you supporting the law enforcement community or are you supporting communities of color?" Scott told a press conference. "This is a false binary choice."
