Trump may use executive order to address policing: White House

Donald Trump could take policy action on race and policing via an executive order, his spokeswoman told Fox News in an interview on Wednesday as lawmakers in Congress move forward with their proposals.

"We do believe that we'll have proactive policy prescriptions, whether that means legislation or an executive order," White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said. She declined to offer specifics, saying the Republican president was still weighing various possibilities.

The potential for executive action comes as both Democrats and Republicans in Congress push forward with proposals aimed at addressing police reform amid massive protests sparked by last month's death of George Floyd, a black man in Minneapolis who died while in police custody.

House Democrats on Monday unveiled a sweeping bill that would ban chokeholds, require body cameras for federal law enforcement officers and restrict the use of lethal force, among other steps, while Senate Republicans on Tuesday said they were working on their own proposal.

Sure. He can wave his fat little pinky and it'll be fixed.

I seriously doubt there will be anything of substance in his order.

This won't be over until he os gone from the White House and we have real Police reform and redistribution of funding.

Reduce and Reform Police Spending and distribute those extra funds to the community and social services.

Look, his base knows him. He can scream "MAGA loves black people" and he won't lose a single one of his racist asshats because they know it's bullshit

He could French kiss a black man on stage and it would be fine with his racist base, because they know when push comes to shove, he's a racist to his core.

This won't be for his base. This will be an attempt to decieve some people that he gives a shit.
