(4,914 posts)That car was prepared for this. Blacked out front windows.
Also, from looking at the vids in slow motion, I don't think that car's air bags deployed. Likely disabled or removed so they wouldn't get in the way.
No way this was done on a whim or out of sudden emotion.

Trump then advised arresting officers to not assist suspects when theyre ducking their heads to get inside the back of the cop car. You could take the hand away.

The picture was terrible quality but it looks like a fat white guy. What a surprise.
