“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.
Trump going after the tyrant vote.
It’s one thing to claim police brutality isn’t that big of an issue. Still wrong, but not uncommon.
It’s another thing entirely to somehow be pro-police brutality.
What the fuck?
This is just the alt-right with masks off.
They haven’t had masks for decades, and it’s becoming more blatant. Reagan was the beginning of it all, honestly.
Nothing “alt” about it when it’s the likely GOP candidate for President next year.
