Props before policy, that's the BLOTUS motto. If only they could come up with policy.

Drumpf says 89 leos killed, some recently. One paralyzed, shot in the head.

30. Notice what he's not saying:

Racism, black lives matter, excessive force.

Translation of what he did say: "The police should stop killing black people on video. It's bad for my ratings."

Looting, bashing blue cities, Seattle...it's too early to start a drinking game on the west coast, but if he says "Antifa", I'm gonna start.

Deliberately sucking up to police while demanding nothing. No definition of high standards. Excusing killers as not having had training, yaddayadda.
