Trump Says The Police Are The Most Mistreated People In The United States Donald Trump is no stranger to controversy. While Democrats shy away from important issues, Trump tackles them head on. He proved this once again during last nights Republican debate, where he called American law enforcement officers the most mistreated people in America. Trump was responding to a question about the San Bernardino terror attacks in December when he made the controversial comment. He was describing how the police found pipe bombs in the apartment of terrorists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik. And by the way, the police are the most mistreated people in this country, he commented. I will tell you that. The most mistreated people. Trump went on to argue that we need vigilance, we need security if were going to stop another attack like the one in San Bernardino. Trumps comments come after a long year of anti-police violence stemming from the Michael Brown shooting. The most recent incident was one in which a police officer was shot by a Muslim extremist in Philadelphia. It is clear that Trump is positioning himself as a polar opposite from President Barack Obama. We all know that Obama does little to acknowledge and thank law enforcementand has in fact been known to encourage actions against them. What do you think? Do you agree with Trumps claims?
