“The goal of this is to bring the police closer together with their communities.”
Three days after an Atlanta police officer’s shooting of a man found asleep in his car at a fast-food outlet sparked fresh protests, two senior White House aides told reporters Monday that Trump wants to tie existing federal grants for police departments to modernizing their hiring practices and their use-of-force rules.
“A lot of the police departments that have had problems are not using the most modern standards,” the official said, referring to Minneapolis, where the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a handcuffed black man detained on a minor offense, triggered nationwide protests. And communities need more “co-responders” better trained than police to deal with mental health, addiction and homeless issues, the official said.
