Details

Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 3591
Description[?]:
| To the oppressive and exploitative Zardic Parliament, For too long the police of Zardugal have been nothing more than the jumped-up racist thugs of white supremacist law, crushing our beautiful black citizens under their steelshod jackboots. We call for an end to racial profiling and racial discrimination in the police force. No longer can the white man's police use their terroristic and strong-arming tactics against our struggling communities. With blessings from Black Eliyahu, Amareche Senai, BZP Spokeswoman East Sunnyvale, Belgae |
