"Law and Order" is a losing strategy for Trump.

15. Law and order, tough on crime has been way overused....

...for decades by both Republican and Democratic candidates.

It's "one" of the reasons why the police are now looked upon so badly, protect and serve is now a joke. James Bond like immunity from shooting people, abuse of authority to detain and arrest people, harassment of law abiding citizens. Budget cuts to repair the street you live on because they have to increase the budget for the police....getting arrested, and the charges are dropped by the DA like a hot potato, massive fines that bankrupt you, all because you farted in the wrong direction, etc.

And it isn't just minorities, even white people are sick of them. My brother went to a private New Years Eve party at a local hall 20 years ago. Sure there was people under 21, but the owner was pretty strict, had wristbands, punch cards on how many times you went to the bar, still requiring ID to make sure your name and ID matched with the punch card, etc. And of course, everyone was white. Two police officers show up, start demanding ID from everyone having a soda or juice and demanding to know how much they had to drink that night (note, I didn't say they asked if they had been drinking) Then the owner, see's this, goes to the officers and tells them to get the fuck out immediately as they were not invited in and to quit harassing everyone. And informed them they were trespassing. They responded they were just trying make sure there was no underage drinking...which again he told them, to get the fuck out. Think he may have been well connected, then again, he was white.

My sister got arrested once for violating curfew for people under 18 (and yes, we are white). All she did was, ask my brother to stop at a public bathroom (they were at the beach and the bathrooms there were a bit thrashed...so decided to go into the "revitalized downtown area" ) of the city so she could go, then they would go home.

They jumped the shark way too many times, from everything of a cop at a pool party doing a barrel roll just because there were some invited minorities and some idiot outside of the party reported it....to now, a police officer shoving his knee into a guy's neck suffocating a compliant detained person....and if he truly was worried about a flight risk....shove him in the cruiser. Why is that so hard?

And lets not get started on mental illness. Show up before the professionals do....and then shoot them, not taser, not pepper spray...lethal shot kill them....and the family, heart broken as they called for the help.

And despite all this, some, not all, still don't get it.
