Trump’s Pardon Of Joe Arpaio Is Deeply Disturbing
During a speech to a group of police officers in July, President Trump returned to one of his favorite themes of the campaign season: violence. “Please don’t be too nice” to the “thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon,” Trump advised the officers. Be “rough.”
The president’s endorsement of police brutality was met with applause from the officers and shock from activists and pundits alike.
