I thought that after all of the nonsense this week that today would be a quiet day from the White House.
I was wrong.
Never underestimate the nonsense our Applause-Addict-in-Chief is capable of spewing.
And America jerks off. It’s low but the wrong kind of low. This is the low this country loves.
Every time he opens his mouth it’s as if the most ignorant, knee jerk, uneducated opinions from the comment section of every news article are being spilled out through him. I’m convinced that it’s not possible to both respect him as an individual and to respect the office of POTUS at the same time.

I am losing respect for everyone in Washington as they allow him to continue unfettered.
Even worse, the police cheered. And they wonder why theres a problem.
Not much they can do about them. The office is to be respected more than the man so there is really nothing they can do. Just watch him run.
Is he talking in the abstract, or recounting some *actual experience?
“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,” Trump said. “And I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice.’”
“Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head,” Trump continued. “You know, the way you put their hand over, like, don’t hit their head, and they’ve just killed somebody. Don’t hit their head. I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’”
*fictional
He was talking to his friend, Jim.
I can’t hear the audio now, but I’m not surprised at what he may have said. But I would rather hear a President paying respect to police than see a President interjecting himself into a local matter and stating that the arresting police “acted stupidly”.

I’ve had the same thought, our president is trailer trash with money.
Obama. Yes. Good point.
So a police officer not putting his hand on top of a criminal’s head as he puts him in a police car is now police brutality? What if the cop makes a mean face at the criminal? Brutality as well?

Suspect. Courts decide who’s a criminal, not cops. Cops arrest for probable cause. Unless we’re talking about cops performing a prisoner transfer or something.
And I think the rhetorical device in “don’t be too nice” is called “understatement.” I think you understand what he means by “not too nice.” Don’t play naive. You know life.
Not true. A criminal is someone who commits a crime. Regardless, the Trump encourages police brutality theme that some are running with is beyond silly. Police aren’t required to put their hand on a criminal’s head as they put him in a car. That’s a Holywood construct.
Not true. A criminal is someone who commits a crime.
Who decides if someone has committed a crime?
If you see a man strike another man over the head with a bottle and take his wallet a crime has been committed. The person that committed the crime is a criminal. He’s not yet a convicted criminal in the eyes of the criminal justice system but you know that he’s a criminal. You’re getting bogged down in semantics and it has nothing to do with what the President said.

POLICE DO NOT DETERMINE GUILT. THAT IS NOT THEIR JOB. hence, they arrest SUSPECTS.
what the president said suggests that cops should not respect a suspects constitutional rights.

And Trump’s knowledge of police work is confined to Hollywood, so it works. I’m sure he is thrilled with Crockett and Tubbs latest bust.
Yeah but HILLARYS emails!!!
