They both turned their backs on the black on black crime while charging in to condemn any cop/black teen shooting before the evidence was even collected.


What is crazy is how many people are challenging Trump on his concern about the killings in Chicago.
He is threatening to send in the Feds if it doesn't stop. His detractors are seeing this as the first step of a dictator to put martial law in place in a major city. Meanwhile on planet earth I'm sure the folks who live in these gang land neighborhoods would welcome a show of force and a round up of the thugs responsible for the shootings.

They cite that Police would violate civil rights.... Personally I would rather have my rights held up a bit than to catch a stray bullet from some gang turf war if I lived in a bad area.

Trump was so good during the campaign when he asked the Black voters "every 4 years the Dems come to you and ask for your vote then they disappear, what have they done for you?"


Seal the border, slow the drugs and lock up or deport anyone who uses a gun in the commission of crime. America would be a better place.
This.

If Trump gets behind BLM, he'll loose all the black people who support him currently.

Many black people don't want to be lumped in with BLM because, quite frankly, it's BS. I don't condone killing cops and going around acting stupid while being in a controlled little race group. No thank you.

I mentioned the roots of BLM - I forgot to mention that you are on target. Someone has to get a grip on things and the residents would probably be appreciative.

BLM is funded by Soros and used as soldiers in his activist army.

Let the Feds assist CPD in bringing these murderers who kill grandmothers and babies to justice!

most white americans are killed by other white americans...why is Trump not focused on stopping white on white crime? Why is he so focused on banning muslims?

Is there a city like Chicago where whites are shooting and killing other whites at a similar rate?
Please share

Also he wants to crack down on all crime . Chicago is an example of the worst in violent crime . Doesn't it make sense to start there?

Even people from Chicago call it Chiraq because of all the violence .. a play on Iraq

Unfortunately many Muslim countries have anti American views and hate Christians .
Just a reality . He says anyone coming in from those countries should be extremely vetted .

It's not a problem we created , it's a problem those countries created .
We need to put the safety of Americans first .
It's refreshing to see a President that gets this .

No one should be surprised to hear this type of idea. Many have wondered about the idea of the military coming into urban black cities and putting it under curfew. Now we actually have a president who is not afraid to pull that trigger. All of you don't think Trump is dying to show up Obama in his own city? If he got to send the military in there to do it, he won't hesitate to get order there. Yet at the end of all this, sadly it's going to be nothing but hardcore gentrification.

+80% of white americans are killed by other white americans...why isn't that priority #1? Why are you worried about muslims when the person that will most likely do hard to you lives in you neighborhood and looks just like you. Why don't you focus on getting your murder rate to 0% before worrying about others?
