I see your point. I just think it’s important to tread lightly on local / state jurisdiction issues. But, the focus on ‘aggressive police shootings’ has gone way past a specific state concern. So, considering he was asked - I’m glad he stated it as he did. He was definitely caught in a difficult situation, but he’s quite capable. I agree that this will help him to build more trust with the minority demographics.
Yes, I appreciate that.
TRUMP appeared to be specifically addressing only what he saw on that video.
Trump did not go past that.
He sounded innocent, and did not close off justice for the cop in any way, by admitting to his reaction to the video.
His black audience should appreciate his initial reaction, and even the cop admitted to thinking, incorrectly, that the driver “was reaching” into his car.
TRUMP has already proven his bona fides on supporting cops.
Now, he is seen being “real”, when clearly a 2 year cop panicked and made an error that was deadly.
I just believe he can be honest about two things at the same time. Thx, Holly.
