[US-] ADMINISTRATION MOVES ON POLICE REFORM

ADMINISTRATION MOVES ON POLICE REFORM “The White House announced Monday that President Barack Obama will sign an executive order meant to improve training for local law enforcement agencies that receive equipment through federal grant programs. Among the proposed initiatives is a 3-year, $263 million investment package, of which $75 million would go toward covering half the cost of 50,000 officer-mounted cameras -- a technology that has been widely cited as a necessary police reform following the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager shot and killed by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson in August.” However $75 million is a drop in the bucket when it comes to outfitting the nation’s police force, which employs 630,000 officers nationwide. And Attorney General Eric Holder also announced new guidelines to limit racial profiling. [HuffPost]
