'Trump's new executive order promises to 'unleash' law enforcement. It won't make us safer.'

"The EO's basic message is 'police should not be sued, and we stand behind those who are.'"

"This Monday, President Donald Trump issued yet another executive order, this one titled 'Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement to Pursue Criminals and Protect Innocent Citizens.' As the ominous 'unleashing' in the title makes clear, the order’s proposals, like so many 'tough-on-crime' approaches, are far more about indulging in cruel punitiveness than in actually reducing crime."

"In other words, this executive order is about retaliation, punishment and brutality. It is wrapped in the veneer of 'public safety,' but pushes policies that are often least likely to produce actual safety."
