I will admit I am not a fan of police. Just Wednesday while walking on the sidewalk 2 Colorado officers shouted “fucking tranny” at me and drove away laughing. I’ve been unlawfully detained and beaten because I’m trans, but not killed because I am white and I am aware of this simple fact. But the veteran in me feels for the stone faced officers pictured behind Trump, thinking “I want to kill this man”. Guarantee the Marines on security detail thought the same thing from 2016-2020.

Personally if police want their image back, the ones who are not the racists attacking civil rights need to be protesting en masse. Going to the media, and whistleblowing the hell out of departments nationwide daily. Then I will see a police officer as a smiling face and not the machine gun wielding members of ISIS they act like.

It's easy to conclude Trump doesn't care about the police. He doesn't care about ANYONE but himself. He doesn't care about those in the armed forces, past or present. Or renters. Or care about anyone he deems lesser than himself which, by his own arrogant standards, means everyone else in existence.
