- The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 16, 2020What does this decree contain? It includes a ban on controversial strangulation attempts, except "if the life of a police officer is in danger," he said, after meeting with families of victims of police or racist violence.
Donald Trump also encourages "the thousands of American police units to adopt the" highest professional standards ".
These measures presented by the president from the gardens of the White House remain, however, below what the protesters claim, mobilized since the death of George Floyd, asphyxiated by a white police officer on May 25 in Minneapolis.
