No I don’t think Trump will shoot someone but I do not think he believes laws should apply to him.
That is the difference between a King and a President
You can discuss that with Rex Tillerson.
But he went from the best to lazy in a very short time.

you are free to believe he thinks he’s above the law. i am free to think Obama despised white cops.
hopefully with trump, we will soon know something meaningful, instead of relying on what we think.

in this group, that would be a terrible precedent to set.  |

Such a horrible potus he was for speaking out about white cops and cops in general who shoot unarmed black and white people .... how many people were shot just for being black in the last 3 months . I know of several or 3 cops who sent each other’s texts to beat up a black lives matter protesters . And the guy they target was a black under cover officer in the crowd.. you live in a white washed world you need to get out more

He attacked the Cambridge police (after admitting he didn't know what happened, but he knew a black person was upset with white cops, and that was enough for him to take sides), who did they shoot? Please inform us?
You work in law enforcement, you think white cops are systematically targeting black people for racial assassinations?
"how many people were shot just for being black in the last 3 months "
I don't know. I know that a LOT MORE were shot by fellow blacks, than were shot by white cops.
"I know of several or 3 cops who sent each other’s texts to beat up a black lives matter protesters "
We have no way of knowing if that's true.

WTF are you talking about? I wasn't rationalizing cops killing unarmed blacks. I was pointing out that other blacks are a far bigger threat to blacks, than white cops. Liberals bend over backwards to avoid talking about it, because it doesn't serve their agenda. Why not start with the biggest threat, first? If you went to the ER with a harpoon sticking out of your jugular, do you want the surgeon to worry about removing a wart on your toe?
There are 300 million people in the country, god knows how many thousands of cops. There are tons of interactions between cops and civilians, some under the most stressful circumstances imaginable, so mistakes will be made, and of course there are a few bad apples among the ranks of white cops. There is no widespread institutional agenda to kill unarmed blacks. |

Why would that have any bearing on the topic ?

What agenda? Again you attempt to equate violence crime and police shooting as again some how the same..
Why not start with the biggest threat, first? See above
If you wentThere is no widespread institutional agenda to kill unarmed blacks. Black people would beg to differ

No one has ever suggested all cops are bad. But that’s all conservatives hear But again facts are not on your side
Data collected by the Washington Post on the use of lethal force by police officers since 2015 indicate that, relative to the portion of the population, Blacks are over-represented among all those killed by police under all circumstances. As is evident in Figure 1 below, (looking at the top blue bar) according to the US Census estimates, Blacks made up 13% of the population. However, in 2015 they accounted for 26% of those that were killed by police, in 2016, 24%, and in 2017, 23% of all those killed by police. In other words, Blacks were the victims of the lethal use of force by police at nearly twice their rate in the general population.
