Bahamas issues US travel advisory over racial tensions

The Bahamas has issued a rare travel advisory for its citizens visiting the US, recommending particular care for young men in cities affected by tensions over recent police shootings.

The statement, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, tells citizens to "exercise appropriate caution", especially in cities affected by "tensions... over shootings of young black males by police officers".

"In particular young males are asked to exercise extreme caution in affected cities in their interactions with the police. Do not be confrontational, and co-operate," it says. "Do not get involved in political or other demonstrations under any circumstances and avoid crowds."

The US regularly issues travel advisories for Americans visiting other countries, but it is rare for nations to issue warnings for their citizens travelling to the US.

UAE, Bahrain warn citizens heading to US amid protests
Middle East countries tell citizens to be careful around demonstrations following recent police shootings of black men.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain have warned citizens traveling in the United States to be careful around protests in the wake of recent police shootings of black men.

A "special alert" issued by the UAE embassy to Washington, DC, on Saturday urged citizens to stay away from demonstrations in US cities. State news agency WAM said the warning followed a protest by supporters of the "Black Lives Matter" movement in Washington on Friday.

The island kingdom of Bahrain also issued its own advisory on Twitter, telling nationals to be "cautious of protests or crowded areas".

‘There’s something going on’: Trump questions Obama’s ‘body language’ during response to Baton Rouge

Donald Trump continued to criticize President Obama’s response to the deadly shootings of police officers in Baton Rouge, La., saying America needs a “cheerleader” for law enforcement as commander in chief.

“I think we need strength,” Trump said in a phone interview with “Fox & Friends” on Monday, a day after three officers were killed and three others wounded by a lone gunman in what Louisiana officials say was an ambush. “I think we also need somebody who could be a cheerleader. He’s been a great divider in this country. I think race relations now are as bad as they’ve ever been.”

On Sunday afternoon, Obama condemned the killings in a statement from the White House.

“The death of these three brave officers underscores the danger that police across the country confront every single day,” Obama said. “And we as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies violence against law enforcement. Attacks on police are an attack on all of us and the rule of law that makes society possible.”

But Trump said the president’s “body language” told a different story. “I watched the president. Sometimes the words are OK. But you just look at the body language — there’s something going on,” Trump said. “There’s something going on. There’s just bad feeling.”

The presumptive Republican nominee admitted that his experience with police is different than it is for African-Americans. He said “there’s something going on” within that situation as well.

“It’s probably something that we really don’t know and maybe we can’t feel it unless we’re black,” Trump said. “There’s something going on there also. And that has to do with training and that has to do with something, but there is something going on that maybe we can’t recognize it and we can’t see it unless you’re black. But it’s an experience, there’s no question about that. And perhaps it’s a difference experience.”

“Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade framed his follow-up question in simpler terms. “How do you address the issues of African-Americans in America if you’re a white guy?” Kilmeade asked.

“You have to see and you have to put yourself in their position and you have to see what’s going on,” Trump replied. “But we’re at a point now where it’s so out of control.”

It’s not the first time Trump has said “there’s something going on” with Obama’s response to a shooting. Following last month’s deadly attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., Trump questioned the president’s commitment to fighting radical Islamic terrorism.

“We’re led by a man that either is not tough, not smart or he’s got something else in mind,” Trump said on “Fox & Friends” on June 13. “There’s something going on — it’s inconceivable. There’s something going on.”

Trump added, “He doesn’t get it, or he gets it better than anybody understands.”

Michael Jordan speaks out on police shootings: ‘I can no longer stay silent'

With persistent issues of racism, violence against African Americans, police brutality and gun violence coming to the forefront for many NBA and WNBA players of late, Jordan decided that, “as a proud American, a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of violence, and a black man […] deeply troubled” by the deaths on both sides of the divide, the time was now for him to speak, and to act:

“I was raised by parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their race or background, so I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be getting worse as of late. I know this country is better than that, and I can no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers — who put their lives on the line every day to protect us all — are respected and supported.

“Over the past three decades I have seen up close the dedication of the law enforcement officers who protect me and my family. I have the greatest respect for their sacrifice and service. I also recognize that for many people of color their experiences with law enforcement have been different than mine. I have decided to speak out in the hope that we can come together as Americans, and through peaceful dialogue and education, achieve constructive change.

“To support that effort, I am making contributions of $1 million each to two organizations, the International Association of Chiefs of Police’s newly established Institute for Community-Police Relations and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The Institute for Community-Police Relations’ policy and oversight work is focused on building trust and promoting best practices in community policing. My donation to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the nation’s oldest civil rights law organization, will support its ongoing work in support of reforms that will build trust and respect between communities and law enforcement. Although I know these contributions alone are not enough to solve the problem, I hope the resources will help both organizations make a positive difference.”
