homersapien 11,270 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 During a 2017 speech on Long Island, Trump suggested that officers should not worry about injuring suspects during arrests. “When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over?” Trump told assembled officers, physically showing the motion of an officer shielding someone's head to keep it from bumping it on the squad car. “I said, you can take the hand away, okay?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this speech, he suggested LEOs not be too nice. He also claimed 100% support for law enforcement. Then ( in Huntsville)urged NFL team owners to take the livelihood away from the “sons of bitches” that disrespect the flag AND our veterans.

AUDub 10,994 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Well the young lady's widower has spoken out. https://news.yahoo.com/husband-of-scarborough-aide-who-died-in-2001-speaks-out-about-trumps-conspiracy-tweets-its-just-inhuman-090015447.html Quote The widower of a onetime aide to Joe Scarborough, the former congressman turned MSNBC host, told Yahoo News in a series of emotional interviews that the conspiracy theories about the death of his wife — promoted by President Trump on Twitter and embraced by the devotees of the QAnon conspiracy cult — have caused “inhuman” pain and anguish for him and his late wife’s family. “It got to the point that I literally could not stomach this,” T.J. Klausutis, an Air Force engineer, said in exclusive interviews for a new three-episode season of the Yahoo News podcast “Conspiracyland.” Titled “A Death in Florida,” the “Conspiracyland” series explores the circumstances surrounding the July 2001 death of Klausutis’s wife, Lori, and how they triggered nearly two decades of conspiracy theories, first pushed by liberal bloggers and more recently adopted and turbocharged by Trump and his allies. “I’ll use the term ‘suffering,’ quite honestly,” Klausutis said about the impact of the steady barrage of social media postings, complete with malicious and demonstrably false claims, about what happened to his wife. “And nobody, and I mean nobody, should have to be used in such a fashion. ... It’s just inhuman.” Klausutis, who designs navigation guidance systems for the U.S. military, is speaking out publicly for the first time, three months after he wrote a poignant letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, pleading with him to take down the president’s tweets about the death of his wife. It was a plea that, once made public, reverberated throughout Silicon Valley and, in the view of some analysts, prodded social media companies to become more aggressive about policing the disinformation and baseless conspiracy theories that proliferate on their platforms.
