Telling police to sort of..injure protesters...is against the law...

Let the lawyers discuss this
Let the former judges discuss this
Let the chiefs of police around the country discuss this
Let the legal experts, that is law professors discuss this..

But..Trump told the police, in a public, to injure the protesters...hurt them.[.sort of..]

That is against the law....
Trump broke the law in public, for all to see..It has been recorded..for all to see and hear..

THIS IS IT

but we will see..these comments by the President of the United States...are illegal..
He/ Trump is no longer a candidate....it is different now..

But what matters, is this will become a major issue, today..

Hay.. who know..maybe it will not become an issue.
...Still..you do not provoke violence.
...It is against the law, and will become an issue.

Public officials do not provoke violence....
It is illegal.......

This cannot continue.

He has absolutely no regard for the rule of law. He wants to turn the Justice Department into his own revenge shop, The FBI into the KGB and the National FOP into the Praetorian Guard. Dangerous territory.

Prosecutors are not the least bit interested in the law. Their job is to put people in prison for smoking pot and having the wrong file on a computer.

Cops, prosecutors & judges--they are all the same--authoritarian pieces of shit who every day demonstrate to us that the rules are for the little people.

Yes, there are some, or many that are bad. Not all...And there are examples of the so called "big people" going down. Wasn't there a past leader of the House of Representatives that recently got out of jail after serving some time?..I forgot his name. I would say they are not .."all the same" At least that is my opinion.

...Oh, Do you think Robert Mueller, special prosecutor is only after the small fry? If he get someone, will it only be the.......little people who broke the rules?....One of Trump's sons or son in law is not a "little person"

Trump has broken the law many times.

The police murder people and it is captured on video.

I don't see anyone holding them accountable.

Bush and his administration invaded Iraq.

Were they held responsible or punished ???

Wall Street crashed the global economy.

Were they held responsible or punished ???

The law is too punish the poor and vulnerable.

There is no justice for them.

Our prisons are over flowing because the law is not followed.

We have corrupt police, judges, politicians and prosecutors.

Are the jails overflowing with white collar criminals ???

No.

With Liberty and Justice For All is just a meaningless slogan.
