Easy for Trump to spew his rhetoric from the safety of his bunker. Cops and citizens are on the street dealing with the outcomes directly. Some getting shot with paint, pepper, and rubber bullets on their own porches.

Just watching this now on CNN.
Art Acevedo is fantastic – and he's right, it's not just the policing that's wrong, racism and intolerance is ingrained within society at the highest level- so get out and vote and effect changes.
And keep marching and protesting.

Wow! Looking forward to the Trump-Numpty's response!

Love the words and passion. Houston has a thoughtful police chief.

However, as a US citizen, I am concerned about the legality and fairness of US elections. Disenfranchisement and flat out vote stealing through electronic voting machines are frightening. ??

Houston police chief is a powerful voice

Only thing trump understands. They need to speak to trump, like trump speaks to everyone else. Respect is earned, & he hasn’t earned it.
