According to a new report, CNN Analyst Van Jones was instrumental in President Donald Trump’s executive order on police reform.
Trump’s executive order will create a database to track police officers with multiple instances of misconduct and uses federal grants to encourage local law enforcement agencies to meet certification standards on the use of force.
“The executive order is a good thing,” Jones said, “mainly because you saw the support of law enforcement there … There is movement in the direction of a database for bad cops.
“I did not think the executive order was worth the paper it was written on,” Sharpton told The Daily Beast.
The police reform bill that passed in the House Friday, which the Senate said it will not pass, would crack down on excessive force by police, ban chokeholds, enforce national transparency standards, and push accountability for officer misconduct with a national database to track offenses.
