After firing nation's top cop, Trump takes time to celebrate police violence

[sheshe2]

Donald Trump spoke at the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service, and delivered the usual platitudes in support of police. However, Trump also delivered a harangue aimed at anyone who dared protest police violence.

... parts of the speech emphasized a common theme in his campaign for President and young administration — that those who protest police brutality are responsible for violence against law enforcement and declines in public safety.

Trump repeated the same praise that politicians of both parties routinely hhand out, then patted himself on the back for saying what everyone else says … extra bravely.

“You are the thin blue line between civilization and chaos,” Trump said. “Because you don't hear it nearly enough, I want you to know that patriotic Americans of all backgrounds truly support and love our police. The very sad thing is that today many politicians don't want to say that, they don't want to talk about that, because it's not politically correct, and they think it might hurt them with voters. I will say it, and I will talk about it proudly.”

“We are living through an era in which our police have been subject to unfair defamation and vilification,” he said, adding: “Even worse, hostility and violence. More officers were slain last year in ambushes than in any year more than two decades.”
