If cops knowingly violate the rights of a suspect, then they shouldn't be surprised when they start becoming the targets of ambushes!

I bet that the MS-13 group on Long Island know every single spot where cops park...

I expect that kind of talk from Trump; he's just one idiot, albeit a powerful one. But I don't expect approval from the majority of police officers.

One officer didn't applaud or laugh, I noticed. Good for him.

This is horrifying. No human being should stand and applaud this sort of rhetoric.

Calling 911 is already hazardous to your life, and under Trump it just keeps getting worse.

....as they arrest around a million people a month, or 33,000 a day....what percentage of those have a tragic outcome?
