Trump Snubs Dallas Top Law Enforcement Officers, All Black

Source: Dallas Morning News

President Donald Trump heads to Dallas on Thursday for a discussion on race and policing that excludes the three top law enforcement officials in the county – a police chief, sheriff and district attorney who all are black.

The police chief of Glenn Heights, a town of 11,000 south of Dallas, will be part of the discussion. But Dallas Police Chief U. Reneé Hall, Dallas County Sheriff Marian Brown and District Attorney John Creuzot were not invited.

You handled this post perfectly. Trump can't win by counting on white racists to pull him through because that's getting to be all he's left with.

And I expect the lame American media will give him a solid pass on it.

Flat-out racism is all he has to sell at this point.

Ive taken advantage of y’all’s hard work for years. I finally got it together long enough to actually read something interesting, solve my perpetual username/password confusion, and post. Isn’t it sad, though, that most days DU looks like the old Onion?

They cannot speak to this without opening the floodgates of comment over every other racist situation and event on which they have likewise been rendered speechless.

I think every article should start with Racist President Donald Trump. What a sad situation for our country where so, so many people are so racist.

He won the majority of the white women vote last time. WTH?

Peace

because this sounds like a really good PR move by him then if that is his plan.
Of course that assumes he does not flee on his last day in office to enjoy the wine of the country in his final years............vodka.
