Trump 2016!!!!

[Quis89]

Doesn't really matter which candidate wins. Whoever is a president nowadays is just a puppet of corporations, the Koch family, George Soros, George Will, etc.

But if it comes down to Clinton vs Trump, I'd most likely vote Trump. I didn't like her statements on police matters recently:



I don't like politicians who call out police instead of the people who aren't law-abiding themselves.

We have to bring back law and order. Now, whether or not in a place like Chicago you do stop and frisk, which worked very well, Mayor Giuliani is here, worked very well in New York.

I don't like politicians who support the racial profiling of people of color, personally. Especially by invoking a tactic that has been determined unconstitutional, unlawful and that plain doesn't work. Not to mention, police have to be held at a higher standard. A criminal who hasn't caused any harm to anyone, regardless of their complexion, doesn't deserve a death sentence.

I will be voting Hillary in November. I appreciate someone who holds everyone accountable. Even when it's not popular.

Makes no difference who the sitting president is. Racial profiling will always be a thing. It's a sad reality, but it is what it is. However it is too easy nowadays for people who are up to no good to use the "I'm being profiled" argument. That is what I don't like. Can't tell you the number of times I've witnessed a police officer doing their job and I see bystanders standing around with their camera phones yelling at how the officer is profiling and blah blah blah. I see way too many instances of people provoking and escalating the situation even more. I just saw a guy a couple of months ago get stopped on the street yelling his head off telling people to record his arrest. I found out from the arresting officer (I know him) that the guy had a backpack with THREE loaded firearms. He looked suspicious as can be and I'm glad the officers went up to him.

Can't really speak for those falsely claiming it. But being told "you don't look like you're from around here" in an all white neighborhood despite living on that street for years and having absolutely no criminal record in addition to his failure to ask for my drivers license and registration definitely rubs me the wrong way. And I've had similar run ins throughout my life.

So personally I don't speak for the majority. I speak from personal experience. Which is why I'm not a fan when I hear Trump supporting something that will allow similar things to happen to not just me but my children.

The problem is, what does "suspicious" look like? And who makes that call?
