The Monster: Good was "highly disrespectful." [View all]

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!!!
