ability to control the narrative. The story is about an American uprising. The images are everywhere and he can't stop it. If this meeting was about meaningful (or even meaningless) Police Reform it would be open to the press, wouldn't it?

at least they have masks. Bet most of them are not happy with herr fuhrer. I bet he's trying to recruit them to be more violent.

I hope they betray him.

What he will say to those cops won't be something he wants broadcast. Perhaps someone there will turn on his or her body camera and record Trump saying those things. Maybe more than one will do that.

That would be great!

Why so, so many SS troopers? All in black to. All they are missing are the swastika brassards!
