This is exactly why this man will NEVER get my vote for president. Military weapons of war do not belong in the hands of civilian police departments. Furthermore, Stop-N-Frisk is a gross violation of the Fourth Amendment and resulted in a mass amount of racial profiling in NYC. Once again, conservatives show how much they worship a strong police state while they wave around their gadsden flags.
Trump’s statement in July that he would reinstate “in a heartbeat” the full flow of military weapons from the United States government to state and local police that President Barack Obama had limited fits right in with Trump’s promotion of stop-and-frisk. Together the two positions provide a window on how Trump would deal with police powers as president. In a nutshell, Trump favors expanding police power in America. As Trump told host Bill O’Reilly in a Fox News interview this month, Trump’s solution to the crime problem in Chicago is for cops in that city to be “very much tougher” than they are now.
