With BLM turning on Biden, Trump has an opportunity to swallow up a lot of the black vote, imo. We know he isn't going to defund police, but what he could do that would go a long ways towards helping this "problem", imo, is simply sign an executive order mandating that all police officers are to leave their body cameras on at all times when dealing with the public. Make clear that if a police officer turns off his camera he will receive an automatic tampering with evidence charge.

Then make clear that this is only one step in broader policing reform that his administration will undertake in effort to alleviate the public's grievances.

I actually agree 100% and it would be a master stroke for OMB

Legalize weed federally and suspend low level weed related sentences, would get at least 10% more of the black vote. It would be called criminal justice reform

Nah. He shouldn't force states, cities, and parishes/counties via federal executive order.

At most, he could create a task force and have them submit suggestions to states. But I don't even like that idea. The federal government shouldn't be telling any of these places how to police themselves.

and what gives him the authority to create such an edict? that's the stupidest proposal i've heard in a long time (and I've noticed you've made a lot of really dumb statements). It's not the president's job to create law.

You are living in a dream world you deluded idiot. Blacks saw Trump use Floyd's name to pump himself up over jobs. He basically said "today was a great day for George" because his job numbers were up? How loathsome do you have to be to claim it's a great day for a man murdered by police a week earlier, over job numbers? How was it a great day for Floyd?

Everyone knows Trump is a racist f**k and so are the vast majority of his supporters. If you have to go that far back to find anything good to say about Republicans, then you've already failed.

Upon what authority? The cities that are having the problem are Democratic cesspools that don't want a white Republican President telling them what to do. So, it's not as simple as you think.

Dude you believed a hoax. Go read the transcript. Trump was not talking about the economy when he talked about Floyd. He was talking about the fact that racial Progress is being made.

Why does the whole entire world revolve around making an impression on 13% of the population?

I assume this must be a troll.

If you are that ignorant of the actual event just go back and read/watch what was actually said. He did not do this at all. The media made that whole fake narrative up.

Bunny Colvin on The Wire summed up the problem pretty well. Give cops surplus military hardware and tell them they're in a war and pretty quick they'll be acting like soldiers. And a soldier needs an enemy. So now he's no longer a policeman protecting his beat, he's a soldier in occupied territory.

Trump should declare that he'll dedicate his next term to spinning down and ending the war on drugs.

Agreed.

I’m for it on the part of protecting the police rather than protecting some criminal.

They sure as hell should be told how to operate if they're busy asking for federal money.

Combine that with the legalization of marijuana and trump might have 65% of the black vote come November
