Is the OP title an actual quote? Because i can't be bothered to hear Charles talk his nonsense.
But if that is the quote, then Barkley talkin about two different topics.. and, with the latter, he's an idiot who doesn't grasp that abolishing "qualified immunity" isn't the same as "abolishing police".
Ironically both Dems and Repubs agree that significant changes need to be made to the qualified immunity provision. The big issue right now is whether to outright abolish it (George Floyd Justice for Policing Act) or to make strong amendments that put heavier burden on the accused officer to prove they didn't act out of line (Braun Act).
Right now the Repubs are strongly against out-right eradicating it, whereas the Dems see something like the Braun act with still too many loopholes and not adequate police reform.
The George Floyd Act was approved by the House of Representatives (majority Dems) but will likely get shut down by the Senate (majority Repubs). There are 35 Senate seats up for reelection in 2020, in which 23 of them are currently held by Repubs. Don't just vote blindly; make sure whoever you're voting for (Dem or Repub) clearly states their stance regarding the George Floyd Act.
Peace
