Trump to cops: 'Don't be too nice'

President Trump on Friday encouraged police officers to treat suspects violently during a speech on curbing gang activity on Long Island, N.Y.

Trump suggested officers allow suspects' heads to hit the doors of police vehicles after they are placed under arrest.

"When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddywagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, I said, ‘Please don't be too nice," Trump told an audience of law enforcement officers and crime victims’ families.


“Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over?” the president continued. “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, OK?’”
