    Trump wasn’t even there.

    Do you really think that they’re going to send a hit team who is so incompetent as to hit a place to kill him… when he’s not even there- particularly when ‘they’ have federal agents that are constantly monitoring his presence?

    (Like seriously. if the gooberment wanted to whack him. it’d be from the Secret Service, not the FBI.)

    Legal boilerplate isn’t even necessary. They’re cops. Of course they’re authorized to use lethal force, or they wouldn’t be given guns. This is so fucking stupid.

    If Trump was black, he would be dead with a bullet in his chest and/or head by now.

      It’s even worse than that. It’s boilerplate language that limits their use of force rather than expanding it.

    Funny how this “boilerplate” text is literally how cops treat everybody else all the time. They are always prepared to kill somebody. Trump is bitching because he was being treated like a regular person.
