I agree we should hold Trump response for his statements and actions but then we should also hold the protesters for their uncivil actions toward Trump.

A man making national headlines for shoving a black woman out of a Donald Trump rally in Louisville, Ky., Tuesday is the same man who organized a white nationalist conference in Harrisburg last month.
Matthew Heimbach made national news after a video of him pushing the Trump protester and shouting "leftist scum" at her went viral on social media.
The New York Daily News identified Heimbach, 24, in the video. And Heimbach, founder of the Traditionalist Youth Network, which the Southern Poverty Law Center deems a white nationalist group, has since admitted in a blog that he was one of the men shown pushing the woman.
Reviled racist Matthew Heimbach admits to pushing black woman at Trump rally, blames tension on Black Lives Matter

Reviled white nationalist Matthew Heimbach admitted to pushing a black woman at a Tuesday Donald Trump rally in Louisville, Ky.
The racist hatemonger, 24, wrote a blog post about the encounter, in which he shoved the woman and repeatedly shouted, "leftist scum." The Daily News earlier identified Heimbach from video of the incident.
"(Video) features yours truly helping the crowd drive out one of the women who had been pushing, shoving, barking, and screaming at the attendees for the better part of an hour," he wrote in a post on the website for the Traditionalist Youth Network, a group that promotes white supremacy.
Let see every time a racist white get into a conflict with a racist black you are going to do a cut and paste?
However when a professor yelled out for some black students to used some muscles to removed a white student reporter from a public area not a private area I did not take note of you doing any cutting and pasting for some reason.

Drinking Coffee While Black: Ohio Cop Stops Black Man Strolling Down the Street –Then Slams Him Into Wall
Saying, “This is what we have to go through in Cincinnati,” a black man strolling down the street drinking a cop of coffee filmed a police officer stalking him, leading to a confrontation that ended with him handcuffed and face-down on the ground.
In the video uploaded to YouTube, a man identified by The Free Thought Project as 29-year-old Charles Harrell, can be seen on screen with a police officer on a bicycle following closely behind him.

“You can’t be a black man and enjoy your morning, because the police are going to harass you in Cincinnati, Ohio,” Harrell explained. “Walking down the street, the cop just asked me if I have a problem.”
Off-camera the officer, identified as Baron Osterman, can be heard telling Harrell that he crossed against the light on the deserted street.
“Sir, you were scaring me, sir. I don’t know why were following me, anyway,” Harrell replied. “You were following me all the way down the street.”
Told to set his phone and coffee cup on the ground, Harrell refused before offering his ID to the officer only to be told “don’t reach around” when he went for his wallet.
Protesting that the officer was violating his rights, Harrell is told to put his hands behind his back, leading to a scuffle with Harrell slammed into a wall before being pulled to the ground where he is handcuffed
Harrell’s cellphone continues to record the altercation from the ground after it fell between the officer’s legs.
Harrell was arrested for a pedestrian violation, resisting arrest and a small amount of marijuana that was found on him.
Informed of the video, Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot K. Isaac issued a statement the incident is being reviewed internally.
Man Booted out of Marine Corps After Video Surfaces of Him Screaming at Black Woman During Trump Rally
Man about to join Marines gets axed over racist mob assault.

A man caught on video at a Donald Trump rally screaming at an African-American woman has been kicked out of the Marine Corps, WAVE3 reported.
The Marines identified the man as Joseph Pryor in a statement. Pryor had used a screenshot from the viral video as the cover photo for his Facebook page.
“Joseph Pryor demonstrated poor judgment in his use of social media that associates him with a racially charged altercation at a political rally. Hatred toward any group of individuals is not tolerated in the Marine Corps and he is being discharged from our delayed entry program effective yesterday,” the Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Louisville said in a statement.

In the ugly video, the young woman was yelled at, called slurs and shoved by white Trump supporters.
Pryor was discharged from a “delayed entry program,” which is a stopping point for “hopeful Marines” to prepare them for boot camp, according to ABC Action News.
Researchers have uncovered a commonly missing factor in police brutality stories: A victim’s disability. According to an in-depth study published this week by the Ruderman Family Foundation, a disabled advocacy group, up to half of all people killed by law enforcement are living with a disability.
This is the case for the majority of the high-profile incidents in the last few years, many of which have become the face of the Black Lives Matter movement, the study finds.
Freddie Gray was a victim of lead poisoning, which can cause developmental disabilities (a fear that’s become more widespread in the aftermath of Flint, Michigan’s water crisis). Sandra Bland had epilepsy, and being jailed without her medication may have unleashed depressive side effects some say lead to her alleged suicide. And officials claimed Eric Garner “almost definitely…would not have died” if he hadn’t suffered from serious obesity — seeming to blame Garner’s disability for his death.
The disabilities featured in these prominent cases, along with many others mentioned in the study, are not always detectable by law enforcement. But others, as with Brian Sterner, who was thrown from his wheelchair by police who though he was faking his disability, and a Houston double amputee shot for threatening an officer with a pen, are impossible to miss.
“Training is a necessary first step. Reforming the system follows closely behind,” said Jay Ruderman, president of the foundation. “The rights of people with disabilities must be respected just like any other American citizen.”
Is it not strange as a matter of fact Bob that my circle of friends both black and white and all shades in between do not have problems with cops but poor handicapped people some in wheel chairs are target by police who have nothing better to do it would seems.

I don't think that was his point.
Many handicapped people have communication issues and when they fail "to comply" they end up on the wrong end of the taser/pepper spray/baton/barrel. Education of police can help these incidents.
Some of them are. Some of them aren't. This thread is working on the ones that are and are being caught at it. Imagine how many more are and NOT getting caught.
Yes I am sure that there are a few racists in police departments but there is no indication that such people are common or when a police officer need to take actions against a black citizen there is no reason to assume that the actions are the result of racist feelings.
No one is suggesting it is common nor are the majority of cops racist.
I've said on A2K before that a single illegal immigrant rapist is one too many to be allowed in the country. One racist cop that kills a black man because he is black is one too many racist cops.
The police are suppose to protect and serve. None of them should be behaving as they do countless times in America. If they can't do the job, don't take the job. There needs to be better psych evaluations and training of police officers and there needs to be a serious adjustments to many of the laws in America.
Not wearing a seat belt should never, ever become an executable offense. Selling a loose cigarette should never be an executable offense. EVER.
Selling a loose cigarette should never be an executable offense. EVER.
When you are overweight with a heart condition it is very unwise for you to get into a fight with police officers and you and your family have no right to cried about the results if you do.
Being constantly harassed by multiple cops on multiple occasions can shorten a mans fuse real easy. Cops are supposed to de-escalate potentially violent situations. Not exasperate them.
Citizens are supposed to obey the lawful orders of the police officers and when they do not the officers are supposed to take command of the situation,
If an adult decided that he is not going to obey the officers and due to his medical conditions die that is not the fault of the officers.
