Trump Bends The Knee To BLM

Well, apparently, Trump is out wooing the black vote. Am I wrong? At this point, nothing really surprises me anymore. Anyway, Trump signed an executive order to make those bad policemen be nicer to criminals and thugs. Since when does a President dictate the polices and procedures of independent police departments? Should he do this? Is he overstepping the bounds of a President or am I overreacting? Maybe there's more to the story than meets the eye?

I don't know. There are probably some departments that need to tone down their "God complex" and I'm certainly not happy with everything every police department does but it seems obvious to me that Trump is using the current riots to his political advantage. That puts him in the same boat with the Pelosis and the Schumers of the world (not to mention every other career politician in office).

Anyway ... here's the story:

Quote:

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday aimed at curbing police brutality by directing federal dollars to those police departments that meet certain credentialing standards on the use of force. The executive action also makes it harder for those officers with a troubled history from getting hired by other departments.

Quote:

Congress is also moving toward passing policing bills, but Trump was anxious to put his own stamp on the issue with a Rose Garden press conference in which he was flanked by representatives from the nation's leading law enforcement groups.

Quote:

The president’s executive order also requires the attorney general to create a database tracking terminations, criminal convictions and civil judgments against law enforcement officers for excessive use-of-force. It encourages participation by providing certain grants only to those agencies that submit the required information.

More expansion of Federal Powers. I hate the expansion of the Federal Government.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
