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.
Protests against police violence in Nigeria entered the tenth day on Saturday with more than 10,000 people invading the streets of Lagos.
Mothers also joined the march in the city centre of Nigeria's economic capital.

The rallies started last week after a video did the rounds online showing a man being beaten, apparently by police from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) unit.
The police unit has killed and tortured many Nigerians, according to human rights groups.
Since the protests began, at least 10 people have been killed and hundreds injured, according to Amnesty International, which accuses the police of using excessive force against the demonstrators.
The #EndSARS campaign has attracted international support, including from supporters of Black Lives Matter in the U.S. and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey who retweeted posts from Nigerian demonstrators.
In response to the widespread demonstrations by young Nigerians, the government said it would disband the SARS unit last Sunday.
But the protesters are now calling on the government to be accountable, fight corruption and grant more freedoms.
Today Civil Rights Attorney Benjamin Crump who is representing the family of George Floyd was a guest on SiriusXM’s “The Joe Madison Show” and told Madison he believes a first-degree murder charge is still possible based on newly discovered evidence in the killing of George Floyd, a Minneapolis man.
The nation erupted in an array of organized demonstrations and a number violent protests after horrific images of Floyd – begging for his life – as a police officer Derrick Chauvin casually snuffed out his life, as three other officers looked on.
Civil rights attorney and advocate Benjamin Crump, who grabbed the national spotlight representing the families of Trayyvon Martin and Michael Brown, both young African American teenagers killed at the hands of official and quasi-official white law enforcement zealots.
We believe that they may have had animosity towards one another, and if that is ever discovered, then those charges, I believe, would and should be elevated to first-de ree murder, because it can be substantiated,” Crump told Madison.
