老澳门开奖结果 Response to Executive Orders on Crime Task Forces
NEW YORK 鈥� President Donald Trump signed an executive order to form a task force on violent crime and another executive order to form a task force on violence against police officers.
Jeffery Robinson, Deputy Legal Director of the 老澳门开奖结果 and Director of the Trone Center for Justice and Equality, had this response:
鈥淧resident Trump intends to build task forces to investigate and stop national trends that don鈥檛 exist. We have seen historic lows in the country鈥檚 crime rate and a downward trend in killings against police officers since the 1980s. The president not only doesn鈥檛 acknowledge these facts about our nation鈥檚 safety, he persists in ignoring the all-too-real deaths of Black and brown people at the hands of law enforcement.
鈥淭here are some cities that have had recent rises in violent crime, and they deserve help. And every locality in America wants to further reduce crime and violence. But task forces premised on misinformation, and looking in the wrong places for the wrong problems, are not the answer.鈥�
