Yes, Trump should shut his mouth and keep his twitter finger off the keyboard.

He issued his statement Monday night. Silence should be the order of the day, then deployment as needed. Trump needs to stop telegraphing the mob, stop gas-lighting them. He might believe he is warning peaceful protesters, he is not. The tactic is backfiring.

We complained because Obama/democrats always were telegraphing our military moves. Well, Trump needs to shut his big yapper at the moment.

The police chief is right, but for the wrong reasons.

“Let me just say this to the President of the United States on behalf of the police chiefs in this country, please, if you don’t have something constructive to say, keep your mouth shut,” Acevedo said. “Because you’re putting men and women in their early 20s at risk. Its not about dominating, it’s about winning hearts and minds.”


Change the time, change the place and you’ve got GB’s Iraq mentality - that worked well. Is this the sort of approach Acevedo uses with the drug cartels, the illegal border jumpers?

If you think those rioters give two shits about what POTUS is tweeting you need your head checked. They keep going because they’re being allowed by locals to get away with it.

If you ain’t reading the backstory on other platforms you have no idea what’s up. He needs to shut his big mouth at the moment. These instigators are spoon feeding them this crap sandwich and sadly none of them have taken a breath to get some fresh air or perspective.

What other platforms? Facebook and twitter? Oh look another ‘concerned’ poster over something POTUS tweeted.

Is there anything Trump can do that won’t be lied about and twisted?

Why even play with their rules.

Gadfly über ambitious prick. Lots of “chiefs” like that. The ex-Dallas chief just got the job in Chicago in time to totally bollix the riots.

Leftists tend to be so arrogant. This guy is just another Neville Chamberlain at best.

President Trump serves all citizens, including victims of rioters in Houston.

This police chief Acevedo services himself and his Democrat bosses.

These 'protesters' have neither.

“it’s about winning hearts and minds.”

That worked so well in Vietnam. Maybe if our stupid politicians would have taken the gloves off our military we could have won that one.

Acvedo is not “out there”. Polied Chiefs are political appointed positions.
