(Dan Tri) – President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reform the police force amid protests in the US after the death of black people.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reform the police force at the White House on June 16.

`Americans want law and order, they demand law and order,` President Trump said in the Rose Garden, White House before signing an executive order to reform the police force on June 16.

Mr. Trump also sent his condolences to the families of the victims killed in recent incidents of violence against police, and pledged to pursue justice.

“Americans know the truth: Without police, everything would be chaos;

The president’s decree was issued after weeks of America witnessing a wave of protests against racism and police violence, following the deaths of black citizens in clashes with police.

George Floyd died on May 25 after being held down by police for nearly 9 minutes in Minneapolis, despite repeatedly calling out `can’t breathe`.

Mr. Trump’s move is said to be intended to calm growing concerns in the US about racism targeting the African American community, before the Republican presidential candidate enters the election.

Prohibit neck restraint

President Trump’s executive order encourages police departments to implement the latest use of force standards and improve information sharing to avoid hiring officers with poor personal records.

President Trump’s new executive order prohibits chokeholds unless the police officer’s life is in danger.

President Trump also affirmed yesterday that he opposes calls to `cut the budget for the police` or disband this force.

While calling for unity, Mr. Trump yesterday still criticized his predecessor Barack Obama, America’s first black president, on the issue of police force reform.

Civil rights groups and senior members of the Democratic Party, including former US Vice President Joe Biden – Democratic presidential candidate, believe that the order President Trump just signed is not enough.
