Minnesota lawmakers remained at odds Saturday over police reforms after George Floyd’s death, ending a special legislative session without a deal.

Democrats had proposed nearly two dozen bills, including measures to put the state’s attorney general in charge of cases involving deadly force and a ban on “warrior-style” training for police, the Minneapolis StarTribune reported.

The state Senate’s minority leader blamed Republican lawmakers who “chose to leave before finishing our work.”

The Republican-led Senate had earlier approved more modest reform, including a ban on the kind of chokeholds and neck restraints used on Floyd, according to reports.
