Trump Admin Pledges Support for Law Enforcement on White House Page
Shortly after taking the oath of office as our 45th president of the United States on Friday, the official White House website quickly published six top new issue statement, all top priorities of the Trump’s administration, including one titled, “Standing Up For Our Law Enforcement Community.”
In the Law Enforcement section, Trump states his administration “will be a law and order administration,” committed to ending the “dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America.”
The statement offers a stark difference from his predecessor, President Barack Obama, who routinely investigated police departments all while championing anti-police groups such as Black Lives Matter.
Such anti-police groups have led to an uptick in anger and hatred towards police. 135 officers were killed in the line of duty in 2016. Out of the 135 fallen officers, 64 were killed in shooting fatalities with 21 of those being ambushed attacks. The most deadliest ambush against police officers occurred in Dallas, Texas, in July of 2016 where five police officers were fatally shot during a Black Lives Matter protest.
The Trump administration, according to the statement, will prevent these protest movements from continuing to have the power to freely riot and loot in the streets.
“Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the looter, or the violent disrupter,” the statement reads on the White House’s official website. “The dangerous anti-police atmosphere in America is wrong. The Trump Administration will end it. Our job is not to make life more comfortable for the rioter, the looter, or the violent disrupter. Our job is to make life more comfortable for parents who want their kids to be able to walk the streets safely. Or the senior citizen waiting for a bus. Or the young child walking home from school.”…
