This post was written by a Pennsylvania educator who retired to South Carolina. He and his wife are now working to improve education in rural schools.
He writes that he has tried mightily to avoid politics, but when he saw Trump’s speech to police officers in New York, he lost it.
He was rattled by the thought that the man who was president of the United States was encouraging police officers to treat suspects roughly. He knows that Trump was romanticizing police brutality.
He has a dream:
This is now my most fervent dream. When the president is removed from office for obstruction of justice, or impeachment, or some other legal way, I hope that the police, the secret service or the federal marshals, do not put their hands on his head when he is shoved into the back of a police car.

That DUMP is totally reprehensible. He’s not a human being. He’s a mobster and Putin’s puppet. He owe’s Putin, another THUG. Putin owns that Dump.
Dump hates America and truly wants to: Make America GRATE, not great.

This “opinion” is certainly worth reading if you can find it. It appeared in the NY Times. A friend sent it to me because I do not subscribe. Sally Yates understands the threat that Trump is to the Justice Department and all ancillary activities.
Trump is a clear and present danger to this nation. So is the silence of people who know by his words and deeds that he is a THUG but choose to say nothing.

“”Luckily, none of these people were taken away by the police or the palace guards. They left in a non-dignified manner, but were not manhandled.”
In commenting on Trump’s “firing” of numerous federal and/or Administration employees/appointees, Crawb reported that their departure was less than dignified. Everyone has been talking about Trump’s verbal humiliation of those he is gearing up to can. I find nothing demeaning about their departure, rather I feel Trump only demeans himself. While I am sure some of these people have regrets about decisions they made while members of the administration, a loss of dignity over the way they were cut loose should not be one of them.employees/appointees, Jacques said their departure was less than dignified.

All that being said I share Crawb’s disgust with Trump’s speech.

While I agree with you in principle, the point here may just be that unstatesmanlike, bad-manager Trump yet again demeans his office: he cannot even change personnel in a manner which allows a person to leave w/ dignity intact– which of course makes himself utterly undignified in the process.

Exactly.

the police don’t need any encouragement to rough up suspects. enough of that type of behavior goes on already.
as well, instead of an arrest, police just shoot suspects. police don’t try to deescalate tense situations as they should. i think the time has come to disarm police, along with an end to militarization.
anyone who watched the response to the boston marathon bombing on tv saw a nascent police state in action.
