Qualified immunity is a national issues. Police brutality is a national problem. Congress absolutely have the power to regulate policing laws. There are already bills in congress to ban choke holds and to lower Criminal intent. .Police reform is a local issue...
H.R.7120 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020
The supremacy cause states that federal law take precedents over state law. Also,
Congress have the power to stop federal grants/money to police departments. There is a lot Congress can do. Saying policing is a local issue is giving these politicians an excuse to pander to racist so called moderate white voters.
