President Donald Trump did not commit to significant police reform Thursday as the United States faces its biggest reckoning in decades over brutality and racism in law enforcement. At a roundtable event in Dallas, Trump said he is finalizing an executive order to “encourage police departments nationwide to meet the most current professional standards of force” and de-escalation.
Repeated police killings of black Americans have sparked the widest push for law enforcement reform in years.
The nationwide movement fueled by George Floyd’s death last month has already kick-started change in cities and states. The coming months will help to determine just how far officials go in reshaping departments — and whether Congress will join state and local lawmakers in taking steps to overhaul policing.
Policymakers across the country have targeted several major areas in their reform discussions, including:
Ensuring more transparency about police use of force and disciplinary records
Banning chokeholds
Making it easier to sue or prosecute officers who commit abuses
Activists and some Democratic officials want to reimagine the system to root out structural racism, calling to redirect chunks of police funding to social services or even replace whole departments with a new public safety system.
As municipalities start to respond to sustained demonstrations against police brutality — including violence against protesters — significant reform at the national level is far from assured. Democrats and Republicans who want to make policing changes will have to contend with a president often reluctant to criticize officers or excessive use of force.

Well spoken President Trump
Racist
Someone needs to give Trump this idea… Just send all who have dark skin that are protesting BLM back to Africa… And if they white send them back to England…
Trump supporters real quiet.
How about the fact that society it self needs to be held accountable as well nobody wants to say that though. Stop Putting Blame on POLICE OFFICERS!!!!!!!!!!
Trump is in favor of more government money for his friends (aka "access to capital for minority zone businesses) when it's not the subprime morgage crisis all over again, business edition.
abolish Qualified Immunity needs to be in the reformation decree.
Crime enforced is Crime endorsed and the lack of moral impunity is unacceptable.
This bluepill powertrip of dominating the streets what are you Mistress Trump now?
If you were smart you would just say I love you
I hope cops dont respond to calls for help trumpcuck's hotels
Keep talking Mr. Donald Trump you will be out in November 😆
The absent-minded racist will…
Send Black people to jail for jay-walking.
Give White people incentives for correctly doing their jobs. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-executive-order-policing/
Citizens are called upon to fight for this country and this is how they repay us like where nobody or like we are terrorist group we are American citizens
I agree much better training for police but they already have state of the art weapons, vehicles, tear gas, hell probably even bombs. To me giving them better equipment is like rewarding them for their bs. You're full of it trump
God Bless america God Bless Trump, Trump is great man, we supporting Trump great man, we love Trump great man. Trump 2020
More lies to feed the sheep
Republicans who support racism are monsters. That's God's truth.
I agree with him in one aspect we shouldn’t take away from the police what they have to do is go through all the state laws for the police and change them there was so many laws even for police officers that are outdated my opinion all state police department needs to be reviewed and get rid of the ones that have issues and we build the police especially we need them when we call 911
Who's there to break in to house if there is no police … let alone middle of the night how abt police break in to house in the broad day light ..

POLICE REFORM and DEFUND,,,,,WE THE PEOPLE PAY TAXES…….8 YEAR FOR PUBLIC FIGURES…..DEFUND ,, DEFUND,,,DEFUND, ,, NEWS FLASH…..
Yo big flat flabby ass leaning to far over to the right to ride both sides of the fence.you lied about corona VIRUS so i know u Lysoling now
I have another suggestion to help not only the Black community, but all communities: stop making it as difficult as possible to vote, as just happened in Georgia. DUH.
Oh they are breaking more than into houses now, they can break into our very own heads mr trump.
Tucson just passed the law limiting the citizens rights to videotape police imagine the timing referencing siding the Patriot Act and the Patriot Act 2 as their bases for doing so wake up America while Trump has been hogging the camera while Trump has been dominating the media and the news many terrible things have been going on behind the scenes many terrible things have been voted on that we were not able to see and voice our opinions on that are detrimental to our liberties we should never have to sacrifice our security for our liberties or our liberties for our security how how many Congressmen congresswomen can sleep at night knowing this is the truth our liberties are being flushed down the toilet right before our eyes but Donald Trump will allow you to hear about
The passage of the Patriot Act the Patriot Act 2 and congress's failure to act for the people that have been elected to represent the people and failed to address their concerns and needs not allowed them to voice them even before covid-19 lockdowns this is outrageous this is obstruction of justice but however every key player every key high-level government official has been replaced with Trump Yes Man do we have a chance only if we stand together United I say sue them sue them file suit bring suit don't encourage them sue them

It did not address systematic racism and injustice, it did not provide concrete steps for major structure reform.
That program does not address racism
I FIND IT AMAZING
that he can lie, everyday, and that he can still fool those idiots that support him.
“Kamala Harris was severely scrutinized for her treatment of poor black women as a prosecutor – yet Biden’s criminal justice record makes Harris look like Thurgood Marshall. Biden authored and successfully passed the $30bn 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. Besides putting 100,000 additional police officers in the streets, the crime bill distributed funding for new prison construction, encouraged prosecutors to charge children as adults, and even added the death penalty for 28 new areas, including drug-related offenses. Pushing for further criminalization, then senator Biden argued that George HW Bush’s crime plan did not go far enough because it did not “include enough police officers to catch the violent thugs, not enough prosecutors to convict them, not enough judges to sentence them, and not enough prison cells to put them away for a long time”. An older black generation fought through Jim Crow only for Biden to help make sure that their children and grandchildren lived through a new Jim Crow.”

They already have plenty of funding for training. Instead they buy tanks. Let's give their tank money to schools.
More funding to police! TRUMP 2020!!
The 13th amendment is what needs to change, that is where all these police brutality and mass incarceration problems come from
lcfor911.org . You can't know what the problem is if you don't know what the criminals at the top are doing!
This is what Trump was referring to when he called it a "great day" and said that George Floyd would be "proud" of it. The MSM painted him like he was talking about the economy so they could continue smearing him with lies. Why? Who benefits? Who funds you? Surely the MSM should be more transparant about that? Oh you folks wouldn't like that would you, you really wouldn't like that! You took over education and media, you drummed up mostly false narratives out of little snippets of truth, and you profited from it. This has been happening for centuries, the same old game between the powerful and the poor. You're dangerous race baiting smear merchants!
All of what he’s saying is fantastic, but I notice he’s using a very different tone than in his rallies or other public speeches which he cared more about.
The Democratic Party is an absolute evil
DUMP TRUMP, same old phony baloney response, but who listens to the NEW YORK CON MAN anymore anyway??? Even the military rebuke this BULLY who has no courage but likes to have others do his dirty work because chickens don't have balls. The way he turned the police mob loose on the American People is unforgivable, swinging their clubs with all the force they had. The cops were supposed to maintain order not to put people in the hospital that were just there. All the police should be deweaponized like in England, take away all the tools of violence and just leave them with the change in their pockets, that will guarantee a reduction of fatalities. POWER TO THE PEOPLE..
Yeah let me vote Donald for president OH DANG I PICKED THE OTHER PERSON IM SO SO SORRY
😒
Trump is as good of president as to darko milicic was in the NBA
Trump is God.
Trump 2020
If someone is breaking in your house at "12 O'clock in the evening." You first realize that it's the afternoon and then you shoot them… SMH.
‘Agent Orange’ would happily do a Greg Stillson, if need be. Even his own kin would be cover.
Dominate the streets = ?
Dominate < compassion
Since when dominate implies compassion ??
Who he reffers to when he says WE ?
PRESIDENT IS NOT TO DOMINATE BUT TO SERVE THE PEOPLE !!
Oh so if he is tear gassed , everything its ok ?
