So @BarackObama said a cop “acted stupidly,” and law enforcement got enraged, charged him with betraying them, his polls numbers tanked, he’s called a racist, but @realDonaldTrump calls a cop a “coward” and “disgusting,” and not a hint of criticism from law enforcement.

There was like what? 5 things that they attacked Obama for over and over? One of them alleging that he didn't support law enforcement because he pointed out the racial compontent - be it overt or latent that can occur in police interactions with people of color. But tRupm can name call and vilify the FBI, Local law enforcement, and the intelligence agencies and they are just fine with it and jump on his boat. Hypocrites... all of them.
