Trump’s Boring Speech to Sheriffs

On By Norbert HauptIn Political, Travels1 Comment

Trump delivered a rambling, boring address to the association of major county sheriffs and major city police chiefs. He spoke like he was addressing a classroom of fifth-graders. Just start at 1:45 and listen to 5:45, where he reads one sentence for a full four minutes.

Unfortunately, there are no views of the audience, but I expect there was much internal eye-rolling and disbelief about who stood in front of them and what he was talking about. I certainly would have felt awkward sitting in a room of sheriffs listening to this rambling buffoon.

But then, scroll down the YouTube comments and find statements like this:

Trump will be the greatest President of our time…he is so clear and concise, this make big difference between him and all those liar politician, who never kept a single promise..woooo, what a beginning of great days in America…i start to feel safe already…shake them…all the rats will come out of their hole..😂😂😂😂😂😂

— Golden eagle

Or here is another one:

The vermin are united in their hatred of the White man. The mask had been slipping for a long time. With Donald Trump it’s come off completely.

— HerzWatIThink

What is this man even talking about?

I am baffled by this. Listen to Trump’s speech above, if you can without falling asleep about half-way through, and then tell me he is clear and concise!

Our president is an embarrassment.

Getting Shot in America

You Can Get Shot While Unarmed and Surrendering

Michael Brown was an unarmed black 18-year-old boy who was originally stopped for jaywalking. He was shot and killed by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson on August 9, 2014, while he was trying to surrender. He had six bullets in his body, two in his head.

He was jaywalking. He was unarmed.

You Can Get Shot While Politely Following a Police Officer’s Instructions

Watch and listen to this, particularly how polite the young man is even after he is shot.

You Don’t Get Shot Jumping Over the White House Fence and Charging into the White House

Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, of Copperas Cove, Texas, jumped the White House fence, armed with a knife, ran across the lawn, entered the White House ran through the entry hall, past the stairs, into the East Room and was finally stopped there.

Why is Michael Brown Dead and Omar Gonzalez Alive?

The Secret Service now says that Gonzalez is a troubled Iraq War veteran who should be in a mental hospital. That’s an excuse to me. They didn’t know who he was when he penetrated the White House security.

I usually don’t advocate shooting, but I must say, I’d have no problem if the Secret Service shot whoever jumps the White House fence.

We seem to have some things backwards in law enforcement in our country.
