The White House has yet to detail specifics of a reported executive order, but South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott says he thinks it would be signed on Tuesday.
“What we're looking to do is sign an executive order that will be good glue to bring community and police together. Again, invest in things like co-responders that would allow for police to do their job but bring in social workers and experts that deal with mental health and issues such as drug addiction, or alcohol addiction, or other issues like homelessness,” he said.
“We’ll encourage pilot programs that allow social workers to join certain law enforcement officers so that they work together,” Trump said Thursday during a roundtable with faith and community leaders at a church in Dallas. President Donald Trump listens to Fraternal Order of Police National President Patrick Yoes during a roundtable discussion with law enforcement at the White House in Washington, June 8, 2020.
"There are several principles that have been discussed," Conway said."Obviously, the president's been listening to many different people across the aisle and across the country." On the legislative front, Scott said his legislative proposal will aim to improve police training and tactics but said that “qualified immunity” -- a legal doctrine that shields law enforcement from liability for actions taken on the job -- would be a non-starter.
