迴應弗格森事件，奧巴馬希望更多警察經費

U.S. President Barack Obama is calling for millions of dollars more in federal spending to improve police forces around the country, in response to the shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white policeman during a street confrontation in the central town of Ferguson, Missouri.

After meeting at the White House Monday with his Cabinet, civil rights leaders and law enforcement officials, Mr. Obama announced spending proposals of more than $260 million for police forces across the United States. He said the additional money would pay for 50,000 body cameras for police to wear to record their interactions with civilians, as well as to fund more training for police.

The president also announced he will set up a task force to study how to improve policing. He said Americans of color do not feel they are being treated fairly by police, creating what he called a "simmering distrust" in communities and weakening the country.

Speaking in Atlanta Monday at the historic church once led by the late Reverend Martin Luther King, Junior, Attorney General Eric Holder also announced new Justice Department plans aimed at ending racial profiling and ensuring fair and effective policing.美國總統奧巴馬要求動用聯邦撥款來加強全美各地警察裝備，以此作爲對一名沒有攜帶武器的黑人青少年在與一名白人警察街頭對抗中被開槍打死一案的迴應。事件發生在密蘇里州中部的弗格森鎮。

奧巴馬星期一在白宮會晤他的內閣成員、民權領袖和執法官員之後，宣佈了向全美各地警察力量撥款２.6億多美元的提案。他說，這筆款項將用於爲警察配備5萬部穿戴式攝像機，以紀錄他們對民衆執法時的情況，並用於提供更多的警察訓練。

奧巴馬還宣佈，他將成立一個工作組，負責研究如何改進執法。奧巴馬說，美國的有色人種感到他們沒有受到警察的公平對待，這導致他所說的社區裏“深層不信任”，並削弱了這個國家。

美國司法部長霍爾德在已故民權運動領袖馬丁•路德•金曾領導過的一個具有歷史意義的教會發表講話，宣佈了司法部的新計劃，努力結束以種族爲判斷依據的做法，確保警察公平有效地執行公務。
