Police should treat the people they arrest violently, President Donald Trump said Friday afternoon, encouraging cops to get rough when they toss people into a police vehicle.
Trump offered the praise for flagrant retributive violence by uniformed law enforcers during a wide-ranging speech to cops in Brentwood, New York. Officers present laughed and applauded in response.
When you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddywagon, you just see em thrown in rough. I said please dont be too nice, the president said, to a murmur of chuckles.

Now compare that to Republicans clutching their pearls when the FBI arrested Roger Stone in a pre-dawn raid and demanding answers about why they did things a certain way.

(1,832 posts)... but when I was taken myself, in a quite small case in my own country, the Police came in about the same amount of force. And I also asked why they did not just politely call me down to the station.
According to what the Police believed they were coming for after me, they actually did what they had to do, and did it correctly. But they still was made to pay me compensation, when they finally found out how stupid their guesswork had been.
It is crazy downsideup times, when the left now are so fully supportive of all doings of the FBI. And even the case of this Stone should be revised properly, though it looks alright to me. It is always too hypocritically, when people only complain about possible wrongdoings on their own side of the aisle.
