Washington – President Donald Trump is using a Capitol Hill ceremony for fallen law enforcement officers to criticize some big-city prosecutors he asserts don’t go after criminals who pose a severe threat to public safety.

Trump also called for the death penalty for killing officers. And he made an apparent reference to the case of actor Jussie Smollett. He says “those who file false police reports should face full legal consequences.”
Smollett was charged with felony disorderly conduct and accused of making a false police report after claiming he was attacked. The Cook County state’s attorney’s office abruptly dropped the charges in March.
Trump spoke Wednesday at the 38th annual memorial service, which honored 228 peace officers who died in the line of duty last year.
Class act. Very presidential.
Fake news highlights what they want you to think the prez focused on at the memorial. He was eloquent and made a moving tribute to the fallen member whose family he called up to the dais, and they all were profuse in their praise of Trump and their gratitude to him…but you’ll never hear the truth from the lying liberal press,
Prosecutors perfer to go after rich white Trump supporters and find a gothca moment. It helps them advance their careers. Its all about good KGB work
Fake press, fake news, they go hand in hand !!!
Crime is way down over the last few decades. The murders of policemen is way down in the last few decades. The President, like the police want to keep everyone afraid.
You will recall the President took out a full-page ad in the Failing New York Times calling for the death penalty for the kids falsely jailed for that rape in Central Park.
