Donald Trump: I Am The Law And Order Candidate
Donald Trump: "I am the Law and Order Candidate"

In a speech about veteran reforms, GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump began his remarks praising law enforcement by thanking them for protecting our communities under relentless criticism.
"I would first like to address the contributions of another group who serve this country in uniform: the men and women in blue," Trump said to crowd gathered in Virginia Beach. "Our Police Officers rush into danger every day to protect our communities, and they often do it thanklessly and under relentless criticism. But I want our nation’s police to know, that we thank you, and we support you, and we will always stand with you."
In the wake of the ambush slaying of Dallas five police officers that occurred

"America’s police and law enforcement personnel are what separates civilization from total chaos and the destruction of our country as we know it."
Trump added, "It is time for the hostility against our police, and against all members of law enforcement, to end and to end right now."
Following his praise on our law enforcement, Trump went on to discuss veteran reforms, in which he promised veterans that a Trump Administration highest priorities will be to fix the corruption occurring in the VA system. Giving a 10-point plan on improving the VA system as well as ensuring quality health care for veterans, Trump would also deliver the sharpest attack on Hillary, using her recent remarks of the VA scandal to draw distinction between himself and his rival.
"Hillary Clinton recently said of the VA scandal that 'it’s not been as widespread as it has been made out to be,'" Trump stated. "She actually thinks that the Veterans Health Administration is well run – that’s because she has been part of the rigged system. Perhaps it is easy for politicians to lose touch with reality when they are being paid millions of dollars to read speeches to Wall Street executives – instead of spending time with real people in real

"If elected, Hillary Clinton would become the first President of the United States who wouldn’t be able to pass a background check."
Reading from a teleprompter, Trump unveiled his 10-point plan that he promised will clean up VA system from the corruption and waste by brining a "full investigation in January of 2017," as well ensuring "every veteran will top-quality care."
"The current state of the Department of Veterans Affairs is absolutely unacceptable," Trump said. "The guiding principle of the Trump plan is ensuring veterans have convenient access to the best quality care."
The 10-point plan outlined are: 1 Appoint a Secretary of Veterans Affairs whose personal mission is to clean up the VA 2 Use every lawful authority to remove and discipline federal employees who fail our veterans 3 Ask Congress to pass legislation that ensures the Secretary of the VA has the authority to remove or discipline any employee who risk the health and safety of any veteran 4 Appoint a commission to investigate all wrongdoing at the VA 5 Honest and dedicate people in the VA will have job

    In the first video, I noticed how Police Chief Ed Flynn discussed the division issue with vulnerable communities and police officers. In his message he states that police officers cannot protect vulnerable communities effectively if they do not trust them (Police Chief Asks for Obama's Post-Presidency Help, 2016). Yet, the communities that need the most protection and services are the ones that do not trust police officers. Another thing that I noticed was that Chief Flynn cared about his department decreasing violence against African Americans and also working with the community. Something else that I noticed in his message was his frustration with the state legislation on doing nothing to control gun access and violence. Lastly, he uses statics to discuss the homicide rate of African Americans, which was stated at 51 percent national “Police Chief Asks for Obama's Post-Presidency Help, 2016).…

    The primary focus at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is patient/Veteran care and establishing new Veteran enrollees. This is done by direct marketing among other forms of outreach. For VA, negotiation will be important in not only establishing a new enrollee, but keeping that enrollee as well. According to Hellriegel and Slocum, integrative negotiations are used to “achieve results that benefit both parties” (2011, p.397). By consistently explaining and showing Veterans the benefits, they gain by maintaining their health care through VA, and how the outcome will benefit them, VA will continue to receive the federal funding to continue sustained operations for the coming years.…

    I believe that even though James has shown us some light, Cooper is more realistic. Our president, Donald Trump, has made us so many promises with the limited time he has. It gets you wondering just how many of those promises will he follow through, if any. Trump promised to take care of all of his citizens and will make sure to help us all. Cooper states, “ Trump's budget — copy-pasted from the ultraconservative Heritage Foundation — promises incomprehensible amounts of austerity, so that stinking rich people like Donald Trump might pay less in taxes”. This is the complete opposite of what he said he would do, already breaking one of his many promises. Another promise Trump made was when he said he’ll make an amazing insurance after getting rid of Obamacare. Ryan says, “Congressional Republicans are preparing to repeal ObamaCare, and have no plans whatsoever to replace it with anything even halfway decent. On the contrary, the Heritage budget includes additional savage cuts to Medicare (41 percent) and Medicaid (47 percent) over the next decade. If passed, tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of people will be killed due to lack of insurance.…

    In the early 1600's, before the birth of the administration, a system was created to supported the veterans. In 1917, Congress created a system for the veteran to have benefits that targeted disability compensation. The services included programs for disability compensation, insurance for service personnel and Veterans, and vocational rehabilitation for the disabled veteran. The Veterans Administration was created in 1930 when President Herbert Hoover signed the Executive Order. The administration consolidated all government activities dealing with war veterans. Over the years, the Department of Veterans Affairs has changed drastically and have encompassed many different facets.

    Police Officers don’t have to do anything to be attacked. Out of the 132 men and women, Those two men are just a fraction of all the officers killed in motivated attacks. According to CNN.com, 64 officers were attacked with malicious intent. This number does not include those who have killed in traffic-related deaths either. Most of the shootings were unprovoked and the officers had no chance of protecting themselves. These attacks just show that cops are prejudiced against solely because they are doing their job. Officers are authoritative and coming generations think that they don’t have to follow the authority. If they do something wrong they blame others for not thinking what they did was right. With these generations not respecting any authoritative figure they think they can do…

    Police Reform

    • 1214 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Stoughton contends that a more fundamental reform is necessary: the core principles of policing need to be adjusted to change how officers view their job and their relationship with the community. The article also contributes to the discussion by arguing that police reform requires changing officers’ attitudes about policing itself. A few things the article stated was to encourage rightful policing, the value system that guides officer decision making must encourage individual officers to continually reconcile the short-term goals of policing, such as order maintenance and crime response, with the long-term goals, particularly improving police/community relations. To that end, law enforcement culture should seek to instill in officers the priorities of a Guardian: protecting civilians from unnecessary indignity and harm. Part I describes the evolution of policing, tracing the profession’s guiding principles and distinguishing characteristics from the world’s first modern public police agency. Part II introduces the Warrior principles that have permeated modern policing and discusses the effect those principles have had on the profession. It first describes the positive attributes of the Warrior that policing so highly values: honor, duty, resolve, and a willingness to engage in righteous violence. It then explores the psychological and practical appeal of the Warrior concept, and it describes how the Warrior imagery and rhetoric have become ubiquitous in law enforcement. Part III offers an alternative set of guiding principles in the form of Guardian policing. Guardian policing has enjoyed a surge in popularity among some police leaders, and Guardian rhetoric has appeared in the report issued by President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, popular media stories, and articles intended for a law enforcement audience. We previously as a class readied and discussed as wrote analysis on the 21st Century of Policing and the panel…
