Trump walks line between law and order, empathy for blacks
Trump should stress how “Obama has not supported law enforcement”, Hayes said.
Trump’s championing of “stop and frisk”, a controversial policy in which police officers are empowered to stop, question and search individuals they deem suspicious, has also alarmed many African American leaders.
President Barack Obama had some choice words for Donald Trump after the GOP candidate made this comment about black voters at a North Carolina rally earlier this week. Donald Trump Back in Philadelphia RegionPresidential nominee Donald Trump is back was back in our area on Thursday before he spoke in Chester Township.
The Republican presidential nominee said drugs were “a very, very big factor” in urban unrest and that those suffering the most from the violence were “law-abiding African-American residents who live in these communities”.
“We did it in NY – it worked incredibly well and you have to be proactive”, Trump said on Sean Hannity’s show, according to NBC News’ Alexandra Jaffe.
“It is clear what he said, and what he meant”. In August, Trump made an appeal to black voters in speech before another predominately white audience, this time in MI. To this point, Trump has now vowed to create a Gestapo-like force that will magically remove millions of “illegal aliens” from the United States the day he is inaugurated, violate the Constitution by banning Muslims from the United States (as well creating an enemies list and registry for those already here) and disregard the rights and liberties of black Americans under the guise of “protecting” that community from crime.
“This is a national crisis”, he continued, without mentioning the black men shot by police in Oklahoma and North Carolina in recent days.
To me, it’s talking out of both sides of your mouth because you can not appeal to African-Americans, especially with something that targets African-Americans and that is illegal and unconstitutional and then say things have never been worse when things have actually never been better. “And he looked like a really good man”.
“I only know one thing about life”, the coach said.
Trump Jr. tweeted a picture of a bowl of Skittles with the warning: “If I had a bowl of skittles and I told you just three would kill you, would you take a handful?”
That practice in New York City was found to be unconstitutional by a federal judge because it targeted minorities.
“I think even most 8-year-olds will tell you that whole slavery thing wasn’t very good for black people”, Obama told ABC News in an interview that aired Friday on “Good Morning America”.
Current New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat who supports Clinton, slammed Trump’s call for more stop-and-frisk as “appalling”.
Clinton responded on the campaign trail, first lamenting that there were “two more names to add to a list of African-Americans killed by police officers”, referring to Scott and to Terence Crutcher, who was killed in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on September 16. She said Obama would spend the coming weeks taking his message to “African-Americans, young people, old people and anyone who needs an extra boost to remember what is at stake”. The group includes the mothers of Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, black victims of high-profile killings.
Video of the shooting, which Trump cited, shows Crutcher’s hands up as officers approach and Crutcher then appears to place his hands on a vehicle before the officers surround him.
The number of reported stops then dropped dramatically to 45,787 in 2014 and 22,939 previous year, according to the figures analyzed by the NYCLU.
The reason Trump’s unity message is flawless for wavering Republicans is that they want to view the Republican Party as the party that sees Americans for the content of their character – while Democrats seem content to characterize Americans for the color of their skin. Crutcher is left lying in the street.
