ReplyDeleteA White House meeting with a group of about 70 people led to no legislative breakthroughs, but rather a call to action.
"The president asked the group to commit to moving forward to keep the debate about this issue alive, to keep it alive in the sense that it can get before Congress, where the ultimate resolution of it will have to be obtained," said Bill Bratton, the former police chief in Los Angeles and New York City.
