All over the world police brutality has become a common complaint including in Jamaica.

It is clear that Donald Trump supports the police, but the reason he supports the police is not because he is racist. He respects the position that police themselves have, and the good they are doing including risking their lives to save and keep people safe everyday.

Every single case of police brutality needs to be examined individually and independently. From videos I have seen, some of them shows police seemingly using excessive force, at the same time there are videos where civilians are caught seemingly committing terrible crimes. Oftentimes these videos do not show the entire encounter between the police and civilians, only parts, which can skew a person's perception of what actually took place.

I do believe that there are cops who are racist and use excessive force against African Americans and others, at the same time the crime in rate in certain black communities remain a serious problem. There are clearly problems on both sides that needs to be dealt with.


What I Have Seen

I have seen videos of police brutality beating and restraining African Americans and others who are clearly subdued and do not require use of such excessive force.

I have also seen videos of African Americans mobbing businesses for example about 50 or more young people go in a store at the same time and steal everything they can.

In the middle of all this, any negative confrontation between police and African American is seen immediately as a racial attack by some, while others support the excessive use of force against African American persons because crime in black communities are high, and any confrontation between the police and African Americans are seen automatically as a fault of African Americans.


Both Sides

Unless both sides admit there is a problem and works towards fixing it together, nothing will improve substantially.

Why drag in something so divisive as the current president to this discussion? That’s a sure recipe to have the actual subject of the thread totally ignored.

Trump supports cops
that's a good thing.

Some very deceived ones actually talk about
getting rid of cops and ICE.

What would the Country then look like?
Better lock your doors
and never leave home.

Sometimes I think that the devil
is getting the best of us here?

Trump had words of praise for David Duke head of the KKK. Trump’s father was arrested in a KKK riot. No wonder people think he is a racist.

Let’s also not forget Trump and his dad were sued by the DoJ for racial discrimination against African Americans in their renting practices. A DoJ lawyer recalled Trump saying to her at the time:
Trump said:
You know, you don’t want to live with them either.

Claiming that Trump is racist is akin to crying "wolf" one times too many after ev'ry one is ALREADY weary of hearing that sawwy refrain, Ad Nauseam.

It's akin to calling the sky lime green with purple polka dots and expecting ANYONE to believe it or give heed.

Well I visit family down south.
See nothing but,
love for everyone
and every color down there.

So the bottom line is as always
some just want to spread hate.

Being a Christian I realize that
learned it from the Bible.

Love government spending to alleviate poverty.

...Sometimes I think that the devil

I wonder about Trump in that regard. He's a bringer of chaos and division. Couldnt make a better choice if discord was the goal.
