    And most conservatives want to make a grifting, fraudulent rapist the leader of the country

    I dont think its crazy to think the cops should be accountable to the people they police in a free country, but I would imagine there are lots of people like you who want government storm troopers to crack skulls without consequence, which you think is "normal." We've got plenty of authoritarian cheerleaders in this country, its a big place.

    Another absolutely idiotic idea from the King of Stupid.

    I can't imagine this is going to help him with the Black communities.

    When liberals campaign defund the police… They also claim police are the real problem, instead of calling out the criminals….what do you think the reaction would logically be?
    And cops are held accountable. Goodness.

    You are going to have to be specific, because I didn't see many liberals doing that at all. Quite the opposite, libs love giving money to the police, and are pretty much tied at the hip with the cops in all major cities because they need their endorsement, so they definitely aren't out there saying the cops are the real problem.

    Dude, I can’t waste any more time when you can’t stay focused. Libbies on the board this morning are posting nasty grams about the police.

    aside from your usual "liberals love criminals," "liberals want to defund the police" silliness, the question is simple: Should police have immunity from any judicial action?

    I agree wholeheartedly with you, but I’m nearly convinced Trump will win. The main reason is how Biden has (mis)handled the Israel/Gaza conflict. Israel is an essential ally, but our loyalty to that country should not have prevented Biden from declaring that Israel has overreacted and will receive no more military aid until there’s a permanent cease fire and a two state solution. This is not to excuse Hamas and its atrocities last October and over the decades.

    No they shouldn’t have complete immunity. Of course not. You gotta ask yourself why is doofus Trump saying these things?
    Trump rarely means what he says. But it’s a great point to rally against the liberal nonsense that really is anti-police.
    You guys do struggle with the gray areas. Everything shouldn’t be take as literal.

    I agree, cops should have no greater immunity than anyone else for bad conduct. I understand the reason for qualified immunity, but it is outweighed by the need to hold bad conduct more easily punishable. The good cops agree with this, but won’t say it.

    It doesn't matter what Trump says anymore. The people are going to elect him and therefore deserve him. I've quit worrying about it.

    There are a lot of righties rooting for a bad guy charged with crimes by the good guys who arent good guys when they charge a righty. Its a bit confusing so you have to stay on top of whether or not the authorities are to be trusted or not depending on who they are after.

    Trump wants to give the president immunity and police immunity. And all the "I don't trust the government" and "yay small government" folks are gonna vote for him. Quite the incredible disconnect

    You of all people still cannot grasp how bad the progressive agenda is to half the country.
    I don’t care if you agree. I’m just pointing this out for clarity.
    It’s not hard to see.
    What is weird is how bad both choices are.

    Big govt to fight big govt.
    It’s all a big joke.
    Pretty much a soap opera or WWF…that’s what politics looks like to me.

    I predict that well before November Trump will claim that he hears a voice (God's, of course) that tells him what to do. Which will cause even more people to fall on their knees before him.
