President Donald Trump seemed to encourage police to be more violent in handling potential offenders during a speech to law enforcement officers today.

"Please don't be too nice," he said to the audience in Long Island, New York.

While the speech was largely focused on the fight against the gang MS-13, it appeared that Trump was directing his comments about police interactions with suspected criminals in general.

Says that police should smack the heads of suspects on the car door.

And their defense will be, "he was talking about MS-13." As if that makes a difference, and you know what, MS-13 members are human beings with rights too.
