Trump praises police for executing unarmed murder fugitive in public without arrest-attempt.

Hew was wanted for the fatal shooting of Aaron “Jay” Danielson, who was a member of the far-right group Patriot Prayer, which had organized a Trump caravan through Portland.

...

“When police last week surrounded Michael Forest Reinoehl, a self-described anti-fascist suspected of fatally shooting a member of a far-right group in Portland, Ore., the wanted man wasn’t obviously armed, a witness to the scene said Wednesday,” The Washington Post reported Thursday. “In fact, according to Nate Dinguss, Reinoehl was clutching a cellphone and eating a gummy worm as he walked to his car outside an apartment complex in Lacey, Wash. That’s when officers opened fire without first announcing themselves or trying to arrest him, Dinguss, a 39-year-old who lives in the apartment complex, said in a statement shared with The Washington Post.”

“This guy was a violent criminal, and the US Marshals killed him. And I will tell you something — that’s the way it has to be. There has to be retribution when you have crime like this,” Trump argued.

Boogaloo boys walking into protests with AR 17's - killing people and the police wave them through.

Officers don't arrest black people or protesters anymore. They just go straight to execution. Judge and jury be dammed.

Yeah. Dump is the pres who is making America grate again. Like a sewer grate, all the crap is just swirling around and going down.
