    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Proclamation 10080—National Gang Violence Prevention Week, 2020 September 18, 2020 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During National Gang Violence Prevention Week, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to ensuring gang members are removed from our streets and prosecuted for their crimes, so all Americans can live and thrive in a safe and peaceful environment. Our Nation's law enforcement officials are our first line of defense against gang violence, and we continue to express our eternal gratitude for their selfless devotion to upholding the rule of law and keeping us safe. Street gangs pose grave threats to the safety of communities and the well‐being of children, teenagers, and families. Gangs aim to perpetuate the trafficking and smuggling of humans, weapons, and drugs. They destroy public and private property, corrupt America's youth, and ruin businesses. To break the pernicious cycle of gang violence and crime, my Administration has enacted comprehensive solutions focused on prevention, intervention, and suppression. In July, we launched Operation LeGend—a sustained and coordinated law enforcement surge in communities across the Nation. Operation LeGend is named in honor of 4-year-old LeGend Taliferro, who was shot and killed while he peacefully slept early in the morning of June 29 in Kansas City, Missouri. This unfathomable tragedy is one of many examples of the scourge gangs pose to our youth and to our communities. The eponymous operation spans every Federal law enforcement agency and is being executed in conjunction with State and local officials.

  • Struggle for Power: the Ongoing Persecution of Black Movement the by U.S
    STRUGGLE FOR POWER T H E ONGOING PERSECUTION O F B L A C K M O V E M E N T BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT In the fight for Black self-determination, power, and freedom in the United States, one institution’s relentless determination to destroy Black movement is unrivaled— the United States federal government. Black resistance and power-building threaten the economic interests and white supremacist agenda that uphold the existing social order. Throughout history, when Black social movements attract the nation’s or world’s attention, or we fight our way onto the nation’s political agenda as we have today, we experience violent repression. We’re disparaged and persecuted; cast as villains in the story of American prosperity; and forced to defend ourselves and our communities against police, anti-Black policymakers, and U.S. armed forces. Last summer, on the heels of the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, millions of people mobilized to form the largest mass movement against police violence and racial injustice in U.S. history. Collective outrage spurred decentral- ized uprisings in defense of Black lives in all 50 states, with a demand to defund police and invest in Black communities. This brought global attention to aboli- tionist arguments that the only way to prevent deaths such as Mr. Floyd’s and Ms. Taylor’s is to take power and funding away from police. At the same time, the U.S federal government, in a flagrant abuse of power and at the express direction of disgraced former President Donald Trump and disgraced former Attorney General William Barr, deliberately targeted supporters of the movement to defend Black lives in order to disrupt and discourage the movement.

Access Now is a non-governmental organization that works to defend the digital rights of users at risk around the world through policy, advocacy, and technology support, grants, and convenings like RightsCon. The USC IHRC engages in advocacy projects to confront some of the most pressing human rights concerns in the U.S. and globally. I. Introduction Over the past few months, the United States Government has responded to peaceful demonstrations by deploying militarized police forces into communities without State or local official invitation or authorization. These forces have arbitrarily detained protesters in unarmed vehicles and generally suppressed the freedoms of expression, press, and assembly in major U.S. cities. Such conduct by federal officials implicate major human rights obligations, including the rights of: freedom of expression, press, and access to information;1 1 See International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Article 1; Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 19.

    CITIZENS FOR RESPONSIBILITY AND ETHICS IN WASHINGTON 1 The case for the impeachment of Attorney General Bill Barr Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has previously called on the United States House of Representatives to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry into Attorney General William Barr. Today, CREW outlines the contours of that inquiry, which should assess whether Attorney General Barr abused the powers of his office by engaging in a course of conduct that impaired the Special Counsel investigation of President Trump, the conduct of lawful inquiries by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and the purpose of that agency, and the oversight and impeachment powers of the United States House of Representatives. These actions violate DOJ’s founding principal to maintain the independence and impartiality of federal prosecutions from political intervention. The inquiry should also assess whether Barr directed federal law enforcement officers to violate the First and Fourth Amendment rights of American citizens who gathered to engage in peaceful protest outside of the White House and across the United States. Article I of the U.S. Constitution vests the House of Representatives with the power to impeach a federal official for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” and the Senate with the power to try all impeachments and convict if it deems that individual’s removal from office both merited and wise. The term “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” refers to serious abuses of official power (Sunstein at 36-37). As Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist 65, impeachment proceedings are reserved for “offenses which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust.” Cabinet officials have faced impeachment proceedings for such abuses of power, including the 1876 impeachment of Secretary of War William Bellknap and the impeachment inquiry of Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon, which was abandoned after his resignation in 1932.

  • GEORGE FLOYD / BREONNA TAYLOR ESSAYS by Julius Wachtel
    GEORGE FLOYD / BREONNA TAYLOR ESSAYS by Julius Wachtel As originally published in POLICEISSUES.ORG (c) 2007-2021 Julius Wachtel Permission to reproduce in part or in whole granted for non-commercial purposes only POLICEISSUES.ORG Posted 5/17/21 IS THE “CURE” WORSE THAN THE “DISEASE”? Dem’s push the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.” Its consequences could be profound. For Police Issues by Julius (Jay) Wachtel. On June 8, 2020, a mere twelve days after those punishing “nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds” took George Floyd’s life, the 116th. Congress introduced the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020.” Seventeen days later, on June 25, the House approved the measure by a comfortable 236-181 margin. Only three Republicans, though, voted in its favor. And the Senate, then a province of the “Reds,” simply refused to take it up. Hoping for a better outcome, the Dem’s reintroduced the legislation in the 117th. Congress. On March 3rd., reflecting their eroded standing, the “George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021” passed the lower chamber on a far less decisive 220-212 vote. It now awaits action by the evenly-divided Senate. Here are some of its key provisions (for the text version click here; for a summary click here.) · As Federal law (18 USC 242) presently stands, police officers can only be prosecuted for “willful” civil rights violations, meaning done on purpose and with bad intent. The George Floyd Act would relax this standard to include behavior that was “knowing” – meaning, not by accident – or “reckless.” Should death result, present penalty enhancements would be extended to include situations where officer conduct was a “substantial” contributing factor to the fatality, not only its sole or primary cause.

Although the Commission which prepared this Report was subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (“FACA”), 5 U.S.C. app. 2, a United States District Court judge has found that the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Commission’s officers violated FACA in forming and operating the Commission. In particular, DOJ and the Commission did not comply with FACA’s requirements to ensure the Commission’s membership is fairly balanced in terms of the points of view represented, file a charter, select a designated federal officer, or provide timely notice of meetings in the Federal Register. For additional detail, the remedial order of the United States District Court that issued this decision is attached to the Commission’s Report.

  • Appendix B - ACS Survey Public Comment Log a Big Part of Policing Is Deciding What Is Appropriate to Police and What Is Not
    Appendix B - ACS Survey Public Comment Log A big part of policing is deciding what is appropriate to police and what is not. A big part of our societal understanding of crime is informed by Jim Crow policing. We need to fix these issues to ensure we are not criminalizing and police things that unjustly penalize people of color and low income families. Additionally, a big part of crime and behavioral health is dependent on adequate access to resources and opportunities, and equity in our community must be prioritized. A Community Safety Dept. is not only a foolish endeavor but a complete waste of time and money. It's just going to get one of them killed. A community safety responder can be an advocate or counselor from an already established community agency such as Rape Crisis Center of Central New Mexico. The Advocate can be dispatched to meet with survivors in a safe location for both the survivor and the advocate. a community without police?? really? social workers taking "911" calls?? really? This is a knee jerk reaction to issues in other states that are not happening here in our state. dont be followers. this department will not succeed, this city and this state does not have the money nor resources to fix the problems we have. "city and state leaders" are doing nothing to allow police to take back our streets. sad sad sad. a little worried that this program being on the same 911 switchboard could cause confusion...seems like Community Safety officers could call on police if necessary.
