Trump Executive Order To Focus On Tracking Misconduct, Nonviolent Interactions

Source: NPR

President Trump on Tuesday will sign an executive order outlining his vision for police reform after the death of George Floyd — a black man killed last month by police — sparked international unrest regarding U.S. law enforcement's treatment of black people.

The executive order, according to senior White House officials, will focus on three areas: credentialing and certifying police officers; creating a database to track officers accused of misconduct and stopping them from going from one police force to another; and sending out social workers with law enforcement on calls with persons suspected of having mental health issues.

The president on Monday gave scant detail of the new executive order. But as he has done consistently in the weeks since Floyd's killing, Trump gave an indication of his priorities for reform, forcefully defending law enforcement officers and sharply criticizing protesters against police brutality.

"Basically, we're going to be talking about things we've been watching and seeing for the last month. And we're going to have some solutions — I think some good solutions. And some of it, as you know, it's about great people. We need great people in our police departments. And we have mostly great people, I would say that. I would say that with certainty. We have mostly great people. ... But we will do better, even better."

I don't think so.

There are no incentives to make it happen.

Federal funding tied with a national database and employment requirements is the only method that would imo work. Hire a cop with a history of violence. Lose certification. Don't fire a cop that fails to follow proper protocol. Lose certification. Allow Trump to provide input. Lose certification. Certification requires national standards to be implemented. Using military weapons. Lose certification.

...calling Kaepernick a SOB, declaring that "MAGA loves the Blacks" with his usual smirk, and being an overall lying f**k, I find this election-year "pivot" rather suspect.
