Trump Reveals Plans for Nationwide Crackdown and More Militarized Police
President Donald Trump on Monday said the Justice Department is preparing to launch a sweeping crackdown on crime that he named “the surge,” a term commonly associated with the George W. Bush administration’s decision to send tens of thousands of additional troops into Iraq in 2007.
“In coming weeks, Attorney General Barr will announce a new crackdown on violent crime—which I think is so important—targeting gangs and drug traffickers in high crime cities and dangerous rural areas,” Trump said during the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Chicago. “Let’s call it the surge.”
The president did not provide any details on the plan but said it is going to be “very dramatic.”
“And you’re going to see tremendous results very quickly,” Trump added.
As if to emphasize his view of America’s cities as war zones, Trump went on to tout his administration’s success in putting military equipment into the hands of U.S. police officers and claimed “Afghanistan is a safe place” compared to Chicago.
“To help keep you safe, I’ve made $600 million-worth of surplus military equipment available to local law enforcement,” Trump told the audience of police chiefs. “If you remember, the previous administration didn’t want to do that… They didn’t want to make you look so tough. They didn’t want to make you look like you’re a threat.”
Watch Trump’s remarks:
Trump’s visit to Chicago, the first of his presidency, was met with massive protests led by Indivisible Chicago and other progressive advocacy groups. Striking Chicago public school teachers also cleared their Monday afternoon schedule to take part in demonstrations against the president.
“We have heard that President Donald Trump might be in town,” leaders of the Chicago Teachers Union wrote in an email to members late Sunday. “If any members were inclined to show up outside his fundraiser in red, that would qualify as productive, in our view.”
Thousands of protesters gathered and marched outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in downtown Chicago, where the president attended a big-money campaign fundraiser after the law enforcement conference:

“We’re angry,” Marj Halperin of Indivisible Chicago told The Guardian. “He is taking pleasure in the misery of our city. He doesn’t know us. He’s coming to our city to raise money, largely from people who don’t live in this city, without ever having addressed, supported, listened to the people who really need help.”

🇺🇸⭐️⭐️🇺🇸 Jeremiah 51:46 …violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
This prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes.
TREASON. This is war. Prepare for every contingency. Never underestimate the enemy. This whole impeachment thing has violated every single rule, and law concerning impeachment.
Therefore there is zero evidence the socialists will work within the law to go to senate trial. It is my considered opinion that they will just say there is no reason to bother with a senate trial. He is guilty. They will just charge the socialist loyalists in the NSA, CIA, and FBI to remove him forcefully from office. @ the very least they will have some skullduggery up their sleeve. President Trump supporters are not uneducated. On YouTube

he has done NOTHING wrong……read the transcript………the Ukraine pres also said this……..wake up. the whole impeachment is just a witch hunt because he is going after the corrupt/treason etc bastarads and they are backed in a corner.
“It was a perfect call.” *SNORT* LOLOLOLOL!!! HAHAHA!!!!
Re-read his post, rockstar.
I think you misunderstood him.
2 headed coin here, we the people are having problems with militarized police. There are a thousand videos. People living paycheck to paycheck are not involved with what needs to be done. Let us all watch closely and see if this is an assault on the people or criminals. People that are not involved should not suffer, the ones involved have money. Even a groomer or a abductor will have a newer car and a nice home. Crime has been paying big time!
Someone should send Trump the bodycam footage of the poor bastard in Las Vegas that was MURDERED by MILITARIZED COPS.
Militarized police are NOT the answer.
Police instilled with some common sense and KNOWLEDGE of the LAW, THEY swore to uphold, IS.
They could have Tasered him.
They could have dog piled him.
This drunk guy, that was SUCH a threat to their lives, because he kept trying to keep his pants up, as he crawled on the floor, being yelled conflicting orders at, crying and BEGGING them, NOT TO KILL HIM…
Is DEAD.
I’m old.
I was brought up to respect the cops.
After watching that vid, I lost the last vestiges of respect I had for them.
THEY have MADE themselves the PEOPLES ENEMY.
Not all, to be fair.
If you’re wearing a badge, and want my respect… EARN IT!
Despite what you might have been told, that star or badge, DOESN’t gain, or make you deserve any RESPECT.
YOUR ACTIONS, WHILE WEARING IT, DO!
