THE POLICE ARE NOT SOLDIERS. THIS IS NOT A WAR.

Trump has now started DESPERATELY & COMPLETELY making things up (out of thin air) that have no tether to reality or documented events. He wants to inflame and frighten— partially because he, himself, is just a scared white boy of privilege-partially because he is a stupid bully. 

He doesn’t even understand what the police function is, in this country. In ANY democratic republic. He doesn’t know anything about history, sociology OR CERTAINLY about the deeper problems of inner city urban existence. Worse, he doesn’t care. He thinks that all problems of this type are just war-zone problems. You go in, shoot, crush, brutalize and FORCE — by jailing or violence, everyone out and about. Peaceful, or not. Get ‘em under control... or scare the audience into thinking they cannot be dealt with except by violent federal goons, gas and lethal threat. This morning, in babbling, lying nonsensical, OUTRIGHT FALSE statements & interviews —on Portland, Kenosha,  (designed to frighten & divide voters) Chicago, Kansas City— just one lie and fear mongering gobble after another —Trump just goes completely batshit.....

“Portland has been burning for years “, “the whole city is on fire and taken over by anarchists”, the “riots are out of control in ‘Democratic cities...” “Biden is part of the far left violent radicalism”....NONE of this is remotely true. 

PEOPLE, WE THE PEOPLE !!....want to control our police and government—we do NOT want the police to decide police procedures, discipline, training—unless they are overseen & answer to civilian elected officials. WE DO NOT WANT police conduct, control or disputes administered unchecked by protective police unions that ultimately allow police to do whatever they want, without real review & consequences. 

The police are not soldiers and this is not a war in enemy territory. The police are SUPPOSED to be sentinels, guardians & protectors. Most of them are. But a few look at it as if they were in a war zone, where anything goes and where they can do as they please with the low income poor—-often the people of color. 

Trump doesn’t know, care or understand what is true. TRUMP wants white suburbia scared so they can be manipulated. He just wants the power & attention. He’s a mentally ill lying sociopath. 

Yes there are higher crime rates in large urban areas of poverty and poor peeps. Yes, we must, as a NATION A, expend energy, money and resources to support a change in all of this. All of us want changes that would realign income opportunity, education, training, health care, banking, —- and right now, HOW the police operate, think, feel, respond, discipline thug police & how law enforcement disputes are administered— & they are pissed off because low income people of color are shot in the back, arrested with intense violence, are beaten, wrongfully arrested, tossed away into the ‘system’, have their homes wrongly blasted open, are brutalized—-all UN-justified to any crimes alleged/ committed— & they want social justice. Trump claims to have no problem with peaceful assembly of protesters. That’s complete nonsense. Federal goons have tormented, gassed, beaten, and illegally arrested and beaten hundreds of peaceful protesters, everywhere they have been dispatched. Much of it is on film and recorded which means nothing to trump. He will literally say anything like a grunting, farting, greasy, lying, bottom feeding used car salesman, carnival barker.
