Two years after the death of black George Floyd in the United States after being held down by a white police officer on his knees, President Biden said federal police officers detained the suspect. Signed a presidential decree that limits the ways in which to do so.
In May, a black man, George Floyd, died in the Midwestern Minnesota with his neck pressed by a white police officer on his knees. Protests have spread nationwide.
On the 25th, two years after the incident, President Biden signed a presidential directive to invite Floyd's family and others to the White House to improve the quality of police.
The presidential decree prohibits federal police officers from holding down the neck and squeezing the airways and cervical arteries when detaining a suspect unless he or she feels dangerous.
In addition, information such as scandals and disciplinary action is compiled in a database to prevent the police officer who had a problem from being hired again.
The presidential decree applies to federal police officers, not state or municipal police officers, but only requests for cooperation.
"Without the trust of the public, law enforcement agencies cannot do the job of protecting and contributing to the region," Biden said, calling for further police reform.
