    The Suffolk County Police Department says it has strict rules and procedures for how prisoners should be handled. It says violations of those rules and procedures are treated “extremely seriously.”

    The police department added: “We do not and will not tolerate roughing up of prisoners.”

    It released the statement after Trump spoke at Suffolk County Community College about efforts to crack down on illegal immigration and violent crime, including by the MS-13 street gang.

    During the speech, Trump spoke dismissively of the police practice of protecting suspects’ heads while putting them in patrol cars.

    It is incredible, astounding, and unbelievable that neither Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, or Melania Trump have been successful in curbing the narcissistic remarks which emanate from Trump’s mouth, as well as his stupid political remarks at the Boy Scout Jamboree, and his “rough them up” type remarks to the police. Clearly, Trump “qvells” on controversy and tumult. He loves stirring the pot; in that way, he makes sure that he appears in the print media, as well as the electronic media, everyday. We haven’t had a President, since Lyndon Johnson, who has been so obsessed with media coverage.

    You will note that as the NYPD became less violent, crime went down.

    Toxic Trumpf’s remarks about banging suspects’ heads into police cars as they enter the cars of course doesn’t take into consideration that suspects are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. The dark neshuma of this vile person comes out every day. None of this will turn out well for him or for America. Feh.

    I don’t want to watch to be a witness when Trump himself gets arrested.
