    Trump plans to announce police reform executive order Tuesday

    Trump plans to announce police reform executive order Tuesday

    President Trump plans to announce an executive order addressing police reform on Tuesday according to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, amid growing calls for action in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

    “The overall goal is we want law and order and we want it done fairly, justly. We want it done safely,” Trump told reporters at the White House, confirming he would hold a news conference to sign the order on Tuesday.


    “But we want law and order,” he added. “This is about law and order, but it’s about justice also.”


    White House counselor Kellyanne Conway separately signaled the president would sign the order on Tuesday. She would not elaborate on specifics, though the order is expected to detail standards for use of force by officers.


    “The president has been listening to many people across the aisle and across the country when he is formulating these ideas, and he has a very large group of people helping him with that as well,” Conway told Fox News.


    “I think it won’t surprise you it will talk about the role of law enforcement, making sure that people understand the role is to keep their communities safe and their neighborhoods protected, and that we don’t want to cast aspersions over an entire industry,” she added.


    Trump will sign the executive order as Congress works on legislation to address policing reform and racial injustice.


    Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) has been leading the effort for Republicans in the Senate, while Democrats introduced a sweeping bill last week aiming to rein in police brutality that would impose a federal ban on chokeholds, mandate the nationwide use of body cameras, limit the “qualified immunity” doctrine shielding police officers from lawsuits, and establish a national database that would disclose names of officers who have a pattern of abuse, among other things.


    The White House has called the change to “qualified immunity” a “non-starter.” But there appears to be initial agreement on multiple other points, including outlawing chokeholds and requiring or incentivizing law enforcement to report uses of force.


    Conway said that Trump would continue to work with Scott and other congressional leaders and that he would sign bipartisan legislation if he believed it to be reasonable.


    Trump said last Thursday that his administration was finalizing an executive order that would encourage police departments to meet “professional standards” for the use of force in the line of duty.


    “We’re working to finalize an executive order that will encourage police departments nationwide to meet the most current professional standards for the use of force, including tactics for de-escalation,” Trump said during a roundtable with law enforcement and business and faith leaders in Dallas.

    The president described the order as encouraging “force with compassion.”

    Trump also said the administration would encourage pilot programs allowing social workers to work in tandem with law enforcement.

    The flurry of activity around policing reform comes as protests have convulsed the nation following the death of Floyd, who died after a white police officer in Minneapolis knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

    Trump, who has been under tremendous scrutiny for his response to the demonstrations, and Congress have been under pressure to take steps to address police reform.


    Calls for changes in policing have intensified again this week after a white police officer shot and killed Rayshard Brooks, a 27-year-old black man, in Atlanta.


    "The trust that we have with the police force is broken and the only way to heal some of these wounds is through a conviction and a drastic change with the police department," Brooks’s cousin said Monday.





    Trump, asked about the Brooks case on Monday afternoon, told reporters it was “very disturbing.”

    “I thought it was a terrible situation,” he said. “I studied it closely. I’m going to get some reports done today, very strong reports, and we’ll have a little more to say about it tomorrow.”

    Welcome to the forum. I understand your frustration with this never ending problem, and people who destroy our property, disrespect our laws, and continue to do so for decades and then BLAME everybody else for their poor choices in life. Which is exactly what these cretins are doing.

    The Democrats have now empowered these animals with their FAILED policies, their lies, and their incompetence to solve these issues. All law abiding, hard working, LEGAL U.S. citizens, are suffering under the Democrat KNEE on our necks that continue to scream the race card, bankrupt us, and leave our cities in run down shambles now FULL of crime.
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
