Police leaders across the country moved quickly to distance themselves from – or to outright condemn – President Trump’s statements about “roughing up” people who’ve been arrested.

“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over?” Trump said, miming the physical motion of an officer shielding a suspect’s head to keep it from bumping against the squad car.

“Like, don’t hit their head, and they just killed somebody – don’t hit their head,” Trump continued. “I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”


It's a joke. Mellow out.

And when a cop intentionally rams a suspect’s head into a the door frame of a squad car, that defendant has a good chance of walking.

Here we go again, taking Trump's remarks out of context just like his initial statement on illegals raping Americans.

Clearly Trump was talking about MS-13 scum but that doesn't matter to the anti-police Left.

It’s more important to make “alpha-male” poseur gestures than to get a conviction. Everyone knows that!

Supposedly that whole Baltimore situation was intentional, except that it wasn’t, right?

It wasn’t out of context, its what he said in a speech although it was meant to be in jests and the lame streams know this and act accordingly.
Those in positions of authority come out publicly in amazement and shock but go home and laugh their frigen asses off.

It wasn't in jest...it was to show how damn good we are to these monsters.

P.S. There's absolutely no reason for a cop to protect those monsters head. It was someones invention.

So theoretically, I should cover the heads of any passenger getting into my car cuz they're too stupid?

its what he said in a speech

Yes, he said it - but he was clearly referring to MS-13 scum, because that was what the speech was all about. He was talking about MS-13 and once again the leftist media and their lapdogs are twisting it to mean that he meant all people arrested.

What crime have people been convicted of just before they are put in back of a police car?

Chicago just hit its 400th murder. Where is the outrage over that brutality?

The only one that will be laughing after a cop slams a suspect’s head in to a car door frame will be the suspect after he is found not guilty and wins a civil suit against he tax payer.

This is OK though...

"...That's exactly what Barack Obama said he would do to counter Republican attacks "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun," Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. "Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl..."

Police chiefs are not cops. They’re politicians.
