IMPLEMENTING BEST PRACTICES: President Donald J. Trump is taking historic action to increase the adoption of best practices in law enforcement and support a safe and secure America.

• President Trump is issuing a new Executive Order that will encourage law enforcement agencies to implement best practices and protect the communities they serve.
  • Our law enforcement officers provide critical protection to all Americans, and we need to work collectively to strengthen relationships across our country.
• Under the Order, the Attorney General will allocate certain grant funding to only those law enforcement agencies that meet high standards, including around use-of-force and de-escalation, as credentialed by reputable independent bodies.
• The Order provides incentives for law enforcement agencies to use a nationwide database to track terminations, criminal convictions, and civil judgments against law enforcement officers for excessive use-of-force, which will create accountability between agencies.
• The Administration will prioritize training and other programs for police and social workers responding to incidents involving the mentally ill, addicted, and homeless.
• President Trump is directing his Administration to develop and propose new legislation to Congress to further the policies of the Order and build community engagement.

UNITING AMERICAN COMMUNITIES: President Trump is taking action to unite our Nation and ensure safer communities for all Americans.

• Every day, law enforcement officers make great sacrifices to keep our citizens safe.
  • Last year alone, 89 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty.
• In 2018, our police arrested nearly 12,000 people for murder and manslaughter, 25,000 people for rape, and nearly 1.5 million for assault.
• The overwhelming majority of the law enforcement community bravely perform their duties with integrity and honor.
• Close ties between law enforcement and their communities are important in all communities.
• President Trump’s Order seeks to redouble our efforts as a Nation to engage directly with our neighbors and secure lasting relationships across all communities.

KEEPING AMERICANS SAFE: President Trump is improving fairness and equality in our criminal justice system, while keeping our communities safe.

• President Trump has led the way on groundbreaking criminal justice reform, taking a smart-on-crime approach to make our communities safer.
  • The President brought together a broad coalition including law enforcement, faith groups, community organizations, and more to support the First Step Act.
• The President established the Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, examining how to improve community relations between the public and law enforcement.
• President Trump revitalized Project Safe Neighborhoods to help reduce violent crime in communities all around the country.
• Thanks to the President’s efforts, both the violent crime rate and murder rate in America have fallen for two consecutive years.

I don’t to listen to know that he’s addressing something that’s not a big problem or crisis just to appease BLM.

[little jeremiah]

if you don’t listen, you don’t know everything he said.

I can’t believe amount of debbie downer nervous nelly eeyore defeatists on FR now.

[snarkytart]

It’s hard not to be when the entire world has lost it’s mind and our so-called tax payer funded officials just turn their backs on conservatives or get out and support these mobs.

[little jeremiah]

I think you’re not reading enough actual news of what Trump’s administration is actually doing.

National Guard. In order to deploy NG within a state, the Governor has to request the NG.

That is not true.

The President has full authority under Title 10 to Federalize the National Guard, especially under the current circumstances:

10 U.S. Code § 12406 - National Guard in Federal service: call

Whenever— (1) the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation; (2) there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or (3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States; the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia

Furthermore, bramps is correct. Trump issued a very strongly worded threat, which he never acted upon. I am sure the enemies of our nation have noticed:

You’re hopeless, I mean that in all sincerity.

Note that you attack me personally rather than the facts in my post.

I very much wanted Trump to be an extraordinary president and leader. But the simple truth is that he isn’t. He thrives on controversy and maybe that explains why he never seeks to teach and sway with well crafted arguments and wisdom. Instead he seems to prefer to incite and separate. And if there is any time we don’t need that it is now. Please do not think I want capitulation to any of the evils attacking us right now. But I want truth and wisdom to be the primary weapons of attack. Candace Owens 18 minute speech on George Floyd comes to mind. Consider her words versus Trump’s idea to say that “George was looking down happy about the employment numbers” as just one example of what I am talking about. That was his attempt to unite and even that was ridiculous. I don’t think he listens to anyone. And when he does, he picks the wrong person (think Dr. Fauci). And I think a big part of that is folks like you and the many, many others that find a way to rationalize everything he says and does as being magnificent.

I said hopeless because obviously you are not reading in depth news,but seem to be replying on MSM.

I don’t have time nor will to try to go into details as the info is there for you to read if you want.

In order to deploy NG within a state, the Governor has to request the NG.

When the South was in rebellion, did Lincoln need Southern States to approve the deployment of Federal Forces?

The Insurrection Act of 1807 summary I read indicates that state legislature/governor request is but one of thee ways of employing the enabling powers provided by statue to the president.

Behind the curve on Big Tech and the Big Pharma/WHO play too, unfortunately.

He was and still is our best shot by far, but it is feeling like too little too late right now. (And yes, I’ll get a Freeper or two calling me an Eeyore or whatever for posting what’s pretty clear.)

You again. Give it up.
