I didn't watch Trump at the police memorial ceremony...

For obvious reasons, of course. I just ate.

I’m wondering, however, if any of you did, and if so, other than his routine of harping on his own rampaging narcissism, did he also go out his way to incite racist white paranoia by smearing black and brown bodies as “cop killers?”

Were he to actually remark upon the demographics of cop killers, I would never expect him to point out the fact that the vast majority are white males, right?

Anybody?

She was a cop, a black woman, who was ambushed and murdered. I do not know the race of her killer. Easy enough to look up.
