President Donald Trump on Monday promised to restore law and order in an address honoring fallen police officers outside the U.S. Capitol.
My administration is determined totally determined to restore law and order and justice for all Americans, and were going to do it quickly, Trump said, vowing to eradicate the violent MS-13 gang very soon.
Speaking directly to families and coworkers of officers who lost their lives in the line of duty, the president pledged that officers will always find an open door to the White House and thanked God for blessing the nation with such incredible heroes.
Please know that you do not grieve alone. Though we cannot fathom the depths of your loss, nor fully appreciate the bond that forms in the precinct and between partners on the beat, your sadness is left and felt by all of us, Trump said in his solemn address. Every drop of blood spilled from our heroes in blue is a wound inflicted upon the whole country, and every heartache known by your families in law enforcement is a sorrow shared by the entire family of the American nation.

The rest is obviously a bunch of text written by someone else that he has never seen before.

Right around the time Trump went full-tilt nutso about Hispanics/Mexicans and cranked up his 'wall' rhetoric.

(3,077 posts)When he says all Americans he isn't talking about all Americans. He is addressing those that he considers Americans which is those who voted for him. He is pissed at the rest of us. We are an obstacle and the opposition. I am proud of that. I have a great deal of respect for law enforcement officers but I also know some abuse their power. He is pandering which is nothing new.

Crime rates have been at historic lows.
And Trump is in no position to talk about the law, something for which he has nothing but contempt.

Although the Trump administration is reportedly planning to restructure the Department of Homeland Securitys countering violent extremism (CVE) program to focus exclusively on radical Islam, a 2014 national survey of 175 law enforcement agencies ranked sovereign citizens, not Islamic terrorists, as the most pressing terrorist threat. The survey ranked Islamic terrorists a close second, with the following top three threats all domestic in origin and sometimes overlapping: the militia movement, racist skinheads, and the neo-Nazi movement.

Though the federal CVE program already devotes almost the entirety of its resources to organizations combatting jihadism, the White House feels that the current name is needlessly politically correct, an anonymous government source told CNN.

(176 posts)this sounds like Martial Law is on the way. It's unfortunate that there are so many folks out there who have no idea what that's like. I was talking to a neighbor who said to me" We have been under martial law since Obama was in office" WHAT??? I informed him what that actually was and how it could be executed in this country, that we have never been under it through my lifetime (I'm old...) and he was dumbfounded... We have seriously got the most uneducated people in this country right now! And that scares me, and I'm very angry about it...
