Thread: Trump police executive order seeks to limit chokeholds

  1. #1

    Trump police executive order seeks to limit chokeholds

    President Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order on police reform amid a broad national debate sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which has itself led to heightened calls to address racial justice issues in the United States.

    The order amounted to Trump’s most concrete action to date after he faced criticism for failing to address underlying causes of racial inequality and police brutality.

    The measure prioritizes federal funding for police departments that embrace de-escalation tactics, including a ban on chokeholds outside of instances where an officer’s life is in danger, and improves the government’s ability to track officers with a history of excessive force complaints.

    So Trump supports defunding the police if they don't reform. Interesting.

    This isn't going to do much. His executive order should have been to demilitarize the police, abolish all gun laws, and end the War on Drugs. Do those three things and I guarantee you many problems are going to be solved.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    Since when is Police management a Federal issue? And since when does an executive order have any effect on Police? Can Trump now legislate and rewrite the Constitution from the Whitehouse?

    Yeah, I suppose it probably is just Federal employees. So it wouldn't apply to any city police forces or Sheriff’s departments.

    Saw a clip of CNN today of them criticizing Trump for walking down a ramp too slowly, and questioned his health. Looked like a piece from the Onion.

    Nope,,
    The measure prioritizes federal funding for police departments
    I read it as increased Federal Funding and Control over local police.

    1 Police reform their use of force to some extent
    2 Federal dollars stop being spent of local police

    I don't really see a problem with either option.

    Trump is NOT legislating or amending the Constitution, the local police can continue to use excessive force and give up federal dollars.
    If you want federal support for local police to end entirely then talk to Congress, Trump is doing the best he can with the executive branch.

    The executive order released following the president’s remarks instructs the Justice Department to allocate discretionary grant funding to police departments
    I read it as More Funding and Control (Via Funding)..

    and the Militarized Police State needs more than Choke Training..

    The Police Need a Short Leash and tight collar.

    The money is already being given out, this just limits it.

    Read the actual EO:

    The Attorney General shall, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, allocate Department of Justice discretionary grant funding only to those State and local law enforcement agencies that have sought or are in the process of seeking appropriate credentials from a reputable independent credentialing body certified by the Attorney General...


    ...the State or local law enforcement agency's use-of-force policies prohibit the use of chokeholds -- a physical maneuver that restricts an individual's ability to breathe for the purposes of incapacitation -- except in those situations where the use of deadly force is allowed by law...





    https://www.scribd.com/document/4658...der#from_embed

    NO new money is allocated anywhere in the EO.

    Holding back Federal dollars is now a tradition, I just missed where that was authorized in the Constitution.

    Why are local police forces even getting federal dollars. Federal money is nothing but extortion and bribery. First to militarize and now this.

    That's the screwing behind all this police stuff. The Feds are now firmly planting their feet deep into LOCAL policing and the masses cheer as they lose another local issue to the DC swamp. Trump writing EOs directing a local cop on what tactics they can and can't use? Surely this will end well Problem>reaction>solution. Feds have controlled equipment and money and now they'll control tactics and search protocol. Nowhere are such things authorized in the Constitution.

    Only federal police should receive federal funding. When police departments are paid by the people they serve, they will serve them better. Federal funding comes with federal mandates that are not in the interest of the people they serve.

    I agree. But that's up to congress. The money has already been appropriated. Trump is just prioritizing where it goes.

    Police do get federal money. Withholding that money for policy reasons is constitutional. (Questionable if the funding itself is constitutional). Though that should be done through legislation rather than executive order. Still, Obama demanded gender neutral bathrooms through executive order.

    So...you think once the federal government starts giving states money it is constitutionally bound not to stop giving that money? What a government giveth it can taketh away. You might as well say "The constitution doesn't authorize cutting off foreign aid."
