Trump to Police 7/17: I said, you can take the hand away, okay?"

“When you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over, like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody. Don't hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”

part in the police culture in this country. Watch a Blue Bloods or the Chicago PD the COPS are always
violating people's rights. I saw one recently where the COP takes a knife and starts to cut a guys ear off to make him talk or they put a gun to someones head. Of course when they go to torture it always works too. I wonder if the show is portraying
the police culture or the COPS are copying the media culture.

And he’s said more than just that. He advocates for brutality and they listen.

Hey, it's funny when we joke about abusing prisoners!
That he said was stupid & bad.
That he got the desired response is stupider & worse.
