Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz expressed his frustration Saturday after a weeks-long special session in the state’s Senate failed to pass a police reform bill.
The member of the state's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party said he was “embarrassed” a decision couldn’t be made after the death of George Floyd "and a national reckoning on race and police accountability.”
“The world was watching us,” he added.
Minnesota state Senate Republicans had said they would review changes Democratic lawmakers proposed within a week, officially wrapping everything up Friday -- despite having no official deadline.
Republican lawmakers gave what they called "one final offer" on police reforms, which Democrats said fell short of any real changes.
