You and Sonatine went trough a few things that proper leadership does. In short it creates an enviroment where people can do their job, general populace stays calm and everyone focuses on doing sane shit.
What Trump gave you was anarchy. Contrary to popular belief here i don't actually prefer that. I like proper governance. Functioning police force is essential to that and none of it happens when they lack the trust of the general populace. That trust is earned. It should never be given. Once upon a time your country stood for that.
You don't want a functioning police force.
Every time you've been on the "woke" side when it has come to policing in the US. But it appears that you're saying here that we don't have a "functioning police force" because they lack the trust of the general populace, and somehow that's Trump's fault.
That statement is mostly true, but it's not Trump's fault. It's the fault of Obama and other prominent figures in the media and on the left, who have pushed the false "racist police are exterminating black people" narrative.
Prior to the Ferguson incident in 2014 (which turned out to be a reasonable shooting), there WAS trust in police. That trust has been eroded in the last 6 years by the left, not the right.
Even in the two highest profile cases this year -- George Floyd and Jacob Blake -- there isn't a shred of evidence that racism was to blame for the incidents. In fact, in the case of Blake, the shooting was probably correct, or at least reasonable.
Anyway, wake me when you're actually pro-police, and not just pro-police when you can't blame the right for issues involving people trusting the police.
