    Just what America needs - its biggest, most corrupt gang being coddled, protected and offered immunity from prosecution.

    That's a bit over the top, don't you think? I've dealt with a lot of cops, and most are very professional in a job more difficult than most I know of. Still, I agree that Trump is FOS in proposing that idea.

    I am surprised that Sleepy Don was able to complete a coherent sentence.

    Maine
    Immunity for police
    Expulsion of all immigrants
    Prosecution of all abortions everywhere
    Trade tarrifs with the world
    Ukraine on a platter

    All this and more will be the reasons 35%+ of this country will go out to vote. ...because they WANT this. How did we become so myopic? (Rhetorical)

    It's not about getting any legislation passed, it's just about getting these people to the polls to adore him. To enrich him. To pardon him.

    You and I differ greatly in our opinions of police, but immunity is a terrible idea.

    Alternative headline "Trump promises to codify status quo in policing"

    Don't the police already have qualified immunity?

    What a masterful con!! This guy doesn't give (has NEVER given) a rat's a$$ about the law, other than how he could break it.......but how many rubes will he convince or reinforce their belief that he is pro law and order? Masterful.

    "Qualified" means they can still be prosecuted in the most egregious and obvious cases of brutality and corruption, and even then it's difficult ... Trump left the word "qualified" out.

    Trump is an idiot but I like the common sense applied here.
    Give the power back to the police. Wow, a novel idea.
    Dems counterpoint…no, let the criminals have more freedoms to pilfer and create chaos.

    Cops being the biggest gang in America is pretty accurate from my point of view. There are plenty of professional and good ones, and way too many bad ones and ones who cover up for them.

    Too many crazies posing as American citizens who actually root for the bad guys.
    Bad karma awaits many of you guys on the wrong side of the law.

    Thing is… after Jan 6th I don’t see how anyone believes that Trump or his supporters really support the police. I think they do only when they agree with who or what is being policed, and no this isn’t off-topic. When Jan 6th was happening, and all the aftermath… I had just assumed that the “party of law and order” thing was over. Very surprising that any police would believe he supports them unconditionally, but surely they do.

    You can repeat this nonsense as many times as you like…you appear crazy bro.
    And once again prove your blind spot is quite large. It’s like you’ve never stepped a toe out of your ivory tower.

    Meanwhile libbies are lining up to vote for a senile, drooling buffoon who sides with criminals.
    You seem very confused. You should like Trump as you love crime.

    What power has been taken away from them? That should be the first question anyone with common sense asks, especially given the idiot politician making the promise.
