AOC and other progressives voted against the bill because of a lack of any kind of accountability attached to the bill or the training and because it was fast-tracked to the floor without going through committee where there might have been a chance to add some teeth to it. Basically Congress wanted to pass something that made it seem like they were doing something about policing without actually doing anything about policing and the people who actually care about the issue saw through it.

The link you gave was about the Invest to Protect Act, which is a different bill.

Still a bad vote, in my opinion. But not applicable to NYC because the NYPD has more than 125 officers.
