Donald Trump Endorses Police Brutality In Speech To Cops (2017)

All this violence towards people being arrested did not come out of thin air.. especially people of color.. The President told them to do it .. in 2017.. this is where it starts..

"The president suggested that officers should hit suspects’ heads on the doors of their police cars.

“When you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, and I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’” Trump said.

“Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over, like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody, don’t hit their head, I said, ‘You can take the hand away, OK?’” he added."
