The Monster: Good was "highly disrespectful."

I felt literally nauseous when I read this.

Asked by a reporter if he believed deadly force was necessary in this case, Mr. Trump said: “It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement.”


Black people were whipped and lynched for being "disrespectful."

Women are still beaten in "domestic violence" for being "disrespectful."

I suppose George Floyd and any number of Black men and women confronted by police every day are "disrespectful" just before they are shot.

So now it's a rationale for an ICE agent to shoot a woman in the head.

She was "highly disrespectful." And I suppose we should all bow down. NOPE!!!

how many got their 47-day ICE training, their costumes and guns, and are trotting around intent on terrorizing good citizens right now.

Well, I can't keep letting my blood boil (bad for my health), but I can at least roll my eyes that these hypocrites fell for such an obvious conman.

Didn't we all say that by 8th grade?! I guess some never learn. They think respect only comes from fear and intimidation, and especially physical violence.

disrespect without killing the person. Being so offended by her kind statement he had to yell "fuckin bitch" at a dead woman. He has a personality that is not suited for being an armed agent of any kind.

Cops every day manage to avoid murder in such circumstances. He is a loser who hates women.

How do such men get into such positions of authority, I wonder? Is it because they were always insecure jerks by nature, or because they became well-trained to become insecure jerks?
