    There is something truly maddeningly ironic about watching people I know who voted for Trump post their support / grief for George Floyd, oblivious to the fact they support a president who has actually endorsed police brutality, endorsed racist tactics against black Americans, and generally seems to enjoy watching white police offers use oppressive, unnecessary force against them.

    I'm trying to find a list of Trump's comments about police force, the "roughing them up" comments and such, and found this which I remember being a huge deal, which police spoke out against.

    • Holy FUK... Floyd and the cop may have known each other. Woah, they both worked security at the same club.robotron3k
    • Nobody is on the cops side if that is what you're thinking. President Trump, CNN, Fox News, NY, etc are 100% in agreement.robotron3k
    • Be honest, if Trump fed you a narrative against the black guy you'd be repeating that too :)yuekit
    • mg33, one big one is that Trump took out a full page ad calling for the Central Park 5 to be executed...all of which turned out to be innocent.yuekit

    • "Civil liberties end when an attack on our safety begins"yuekit
    • "Unshackle the police from the constant chants of police brutality"yuekit
    • This was long before he ran for office so you can only assume this is what he really believes.yuekit
    • It boggles the mind seeing the same people talk shit about Kapernick taking a knee a while back now post support/grief for George Floyd & Ahmaud Arbery.brandonp
    • And just from the co text of article is it sounds like he gives ok to rough up gang bangers who harm innocents. Which is wrong but I see the appealdeathboy
    • Asking for violence to this who assert authority and harm innocents... Wait a minute... That emo trigger seems familiardeathboy
    • Hmm cop asserts force kills innocent. Banger asserts force kills innocent. Trump hates race or basic principle where one seperates by racedeathboy
    • And it's quite unfair to friends who have no chance you criticize while not saying who u support. Be interested to see their policiesdeathboy
