Trump signs an executive order to ban chokeholds even though it's not law. |
Today, Trump had signed an executive order today in the presence of law enforcement agents and family members of those killed by police.
This executive order issued on Tuesday will not take affect until next month. It will set forth a guideline in regards to the chokehold and police misconduct.
The plan will ban the use of chokeholds except for in instances when their lives are at risk and will set up a database where police departments track officers who have been accused of using excessive force.
Trump said these measures will ease tensions between people of color and police. He refused to acknowledge systematic racism existing in the United States.
The House is working on legislation that would make chokeholds illegal, accountability for bad cops who have multiple disciplinary issues, make social workers deal with mentally ill suspects with police presence and eliminate the "blue wall of silence" when it comes to misconduct.
Grifters. Shaun King and Lee Merritt often rush to the cause. |
We secured a commitment to independent federal investigations of each of the families that accompanied me to the White House.— S. Lee Merritt, Esq. (@MeritLaw) June 16, 2020
This commitment is not currency. This commitment does not help save lives in the future but potentially will help these families get justice.
The families of Botham Jean, Ahmaud Arbery, Darius Tarver and Jemel Roberson were with Merritt and Shaun King.
With my dude Lee Merritt (@MeritLaw) - hard to believe I have known him now for nearly 20 years since we were teenagers @Morehouse.— Shaun King (@shaunking) April 23, 2018
I hope you are following him as we works on the front lines to support families affected by police brutality. pic.twitter.com/EszLmZ4oMh

Avoid them like the plague.
Listen to Black women when it comes to activism. Women of color have awaken me to the shady side of activism. Ever since their existence, these three men have undermine the successes of Black America.
