United States authorities will not dissolve the police or cut their funding, said US President Donald Trump during a meeting with law enforcement officials in the White House.

"We have great law enforcement. I’m very proud of them.

There won’t be defunding. There won’t be dismantling of our police. And there’s not going to be any disbanding of our police. Our police have been letting us live in peace.

We want to make sure we don’t have any bad actors in there. And sometimes you’ll see some horrible things, like we witnessed recently. But 99 — I say 99.9, but let’s go with 99 percent of them are great, great people. And they’ve done jobs that are record setting. Record setting. So our crime statistics are at a level that they haven’t been at," Trump said.

In turn, Attorney General William Barr announced the readiness of the US authorities to work with law enforcement on the issue of standards for the use of force by police.

"And I know there’s a lot of interest among police leaders for clarity and guidance on the use of force on some of the issues you were just talking about, Sheriff: making sure the standards are out there, making sure they are trained, and making sure they are adhered to. And we’re looking forward to working with you to get that done," he noted.

US Congress Democrats have introduced a bill aimed at conducting large-scale police reform. The initiative prohibits law enforcement officers from using asphyxiating techniques, creates a national database to track police misconduct, and also prohibits the issuance of a warrant in some cases to allow policemen to break into a house without warning. Within the proposed reform, the responsibility of law enforcement officers is increasing, including for acts of violence and arbitrariness against suspects.
