They would never be okay with the solution simply being non-race-based police reform. It would invalidate their loud rhetoric on the matter for the past 6 years.

I'm presenting what appears to be the best solution, and at the very least, will help reduce police brutality.

Whether either party is willing to have the balls to go there remains to be seen.

I'm on record right now saying I'll support it, even if it's the Democrats ultimately proposing the solution (provided it's not bundled with some other crap which will cause more problems).
if either party is for radical policing reform, it's the democrats, the party that pushed for nationwide body cameras.

i don't understand how you can think otherwise. this is like me telling you the democrats are the party of gun rights.
Oh they want radical police reform, but they want sweeping reform with all kinds of anti-police and race-related nonsense thrown in. They wouldn't want a solution which makes it easier to fire problem cops, but stops there.

I agree with the bodycams, btw, and always have.
