Mod: Here's the thing. Even as Donorrhea attempts to fake himself up a little racial concern, America's foremost Klan president just can't hide his true self for very long.
Trump snubs Dallas’ top law enforcement officials, all black, for talk about policing and race in Dallas (
The Dallas Morning News link):
President Donald Trump headed to
Dallas on Thursday for a discussion on race and policing that excluded the three top law enforcement officials in the county – a police chief, sheriff and district attorney who all are black.
The exclusion from a roundtable on police-community relations brought a sort of resigned condemnation from
Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot. Without himself or
DallasPolice Chief U. Reneé Hall or
Dallas County Sheriff Marian Brown, he said, “of course [
Trump] would not be getting the full picture of advice from law enforcement. I don’t know who he’s going to get it from. I mean, we are the people on the ground.”
The presidential visit comes amid heightened tensions nationwide since the May 25 death of
George Floyd, a black suspect pinned by the neck for nearly nine minutes under the knee of a white
Minneapolis police officer now facing a murder charge.
Trump has demanded a military crackdown on protests nationwide, taunting
Seattle’s mayor ahead of the
Dallas visit about a recent flare-up and warning that he’ll send in troops if necessary.
On Thursday morning,
Trump boasted again about his stroll to a church near the
White House, where he brandished a
Bible as cameras clicked, after
National Guard and
Park Police cleared protesters from
Lafayette Square using pepper gas and rubber pellets.
But the nation’s top military officer,
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley, apologized Thursday for taking part in that photo opportunity, calling it a “mistake” that created "a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.” The implicit rebuke of the commander in chief echoed
Defense Secretary Mark Esper’s rejection of
Trump’s call for putting federal troops on the streets of
U.S. cities.
Dallas County Democrats are organizing a protest near the president’s fund-raising dinner at a
Preston Hollow mansion. Roughly two dozen guests will pay at least $580,600 per couple, with proceeds expected to hit $10 million spread between the
Trump campaign,
Republican National Committee and 22 state parties.
The
White House has yet to release a guest list for the roundtable, hosted at
Gateway Church’s campus in
North Dallas on
Hillcrest Road near
Forest Lane, one of the city’s more affluent areas.
Mayor Eric Johnson’s office said that he was invited but had a scheduling conflict. Other black officials in the area were not invited, including three members of
Congress who represent parts of
Dallas:
U.S. Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson and
Colin Allred of
Dallas, and
Marc Veasey of
Fort Worth.
