US President Donald Trump announced his intention to sign an executive order for reforms in the United States police services on Tuesday.
Trump said, in a statement on Monday, that he would hold a special ceremony to sign the document and a press conference on the issue, and stated: “We will take several decisions … We need wonderful people in our police.”
He added that the goal of the new procedures lies in “implementing the law and ensuring justice and security”, considering that the executive order will bear an integrated nature.
Trump also considered the killing of the brown citizen, Richard Brooks, in Atlanta as “a horrific case and a matter of concern.”
The United States is witnessing a wave of widespread protests and unrest against the violence of the security forces and racism, which was triggered by the killing of an African citizen, George Floyd, as a result of an operation to arrest him in a ruthless manner by members of Minneapolis city police on May 25.
Against the backdrop of widespread calls for police reforms, Trump has said he intends to take a series of measures in this context while Republican and Democratic lawmakers in the US Congress are working on two separate projects on the issue.
A new wave of escalation began in the country after Atlanta Brookes police officers shot and killed gunships during an operation to hold him, sparking widespread protests in the city that prompted local police chief Erica Shields to resign.
