POLICE/PROTESTS: “The vast, vast, vast majority of police are decent men and women who risk their lives every single day when they put on that badge and walk out that door. They have a right to come home safely. But there’s bad apples in every profession…
And by the way, the same with the protestors. It’s a right to protest peacefully, but once you pick up a bat and start mashing windows, once in fact you light something on fire, once you engage in violence, you should be arrested and held accountable…
I’m going to bring all these interests together. Peaceful protestors, police chiefs, police officers, police unions, as well as the civil rights groups, in the White House. And sit down and decide, what are the things that need to be done to improve and help police officers.”
