BRENTWOOD, N.Y. — Talking tough on illegal immigration and violent crime, President Donald Trump appeared Friday to advocate rougher treatment of people in police custody, speaking dismissively of arresting officers who protect the heads of handcuffed suspects while putting them in patrol cars.

“Don’t be too nice,” said Trump. He visited Suffolk County, New York, to highlight administration efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and violent crime, and in particular the street gang known as MS-13, which has terrorized communities on Long Island and in other parts of the country.

The president urged Congress to find money to pay for 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers “so that we can eliminate MS-13.”

9. I hear you

Obama: If I had a son he would look like Trayvon Martin

Their reaction: he hates the police, blue lives matter, every black and brown person suspected of anything is a thug, yada, yada, yada


45*: When you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, and I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’....... and the police there are exuberant about this as he uses the dog-whistle terminology for their preferred choice of victim while actively stoking the same divisions the same people who are applauding now complained so loudly about in Obama's statement.

Their reaction: nothing, nothing at all, and there will be nothing.




I'm tired of all of this as well.

11. This is a violent coup, stolen election, we need to realize that and do something

[Afromania]

15. The best thing we can do

is to not become discouraged, not to let them force us into tacit acceptance and to keep the spot light on those roachy mf'ers. However it's done calls, protests, town halls, whatever. At no point can we think it's just going to get better. It's not because they don't want anything better than what we have right now. Infact it seems like they would be alright if everything regressed into something far worse.

10. Will Twittler be ok with rough treatment of the Bundy Clan?

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Privately he will, because he is a sadistic piece of human trash

Publicly he will not, of course.

And some folks think "well, we can just sue the cops"

No, you cant, not much longer anyway.

you see in TRUMP/PUTIN america, laws are changed, judges are installed, you dont sue JACK anymore

[davsand]

14. Would he be personally liable if cops injure or kill anybody?

He just stood up in public and urged a violent act. Could the next victim of police violence sue the orange anus as part of the act?

Asking for a friend.
