VOTE
President Trump has not only condoned but encouraged police brutality. This is highlighted by his July 28 2017 speech to cheering Suffolk County police in Brentwood, Long Island, NY, at which he urged them 'please don't be too nice' and called for them to be 'rough' on suspects.
Lol, good luck with that! The safety of our Presidents and national leaders has always been of the utmost importance! Remember Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, The Kennedy’s, M.L. King Jr. and the attempt on Roosevelts and Reagans lives. Got it?!
BigCharless So being arrested for going to work or church is ok?
No one has defended the KKK more than the ACLU has. For decades.
It's all on video. I o at the ACLU wins. Also the church in his photo op now blocked off from service should sue also.
Long time since ACLU and I were on the same side. 2020 nucking futs!!
HORRIFYING!!!
The President of the United States has limits which the autocrat 'I have absolute powers' Trump refuses to recognize.
Bahahaha...good...
The ACLU is a joke of an organization. Only intervenes when it suits them and their agenda..
The US president has said he supports democratic rights of Hong Kong now seems 'very hollow” when military helicopters are flying over Washington DC.
Leadership doesn't need boast & chest thumping.
Shameful to gaslight with two different stories and pic in one tweet
Woah! About time!!
AP also part of the desperate democrat party
Fake news, right, Donnie? realDonaldTrump
that bow dude didn't just point it, he shot someone, thats why they jumped him.
That black woman that was pregnant that Flyoyd robbed doesn't seem to matter to the news!
All lives matter :)
If any protesters are arrested in Salt Lake City the Bow & Arrow guy needs to be in the same holding cell with them for “Ass Beating II”
They used to stand for something now they are simply another political action committee loaded with leftist lawyers
🤣🤣🤣🤣Bet he wish he would’ve stayed in that car with that damn bow and arrow now! BlackLivesMatter
willapercy Racist gets arrested. cult45deplorea1
The SLC person that had a bow was a Mormon and his religion is very racist! Not all members are racist but a lot of them are. Most of their leadership is as well. They've been teaching racist stuff since 1830.
Good luck with that. Stop lying to the American people. There are far too many liberal sheep that believe anything you tell them. There was no tear gas used, just smoke canisters. The crowd had climbed onto a prohibited memorial and was unruly. Stop making excuses for lawlessness
natasharothwell I think you attached the wrong Link
About time. White supremacist demon
Finally, SOMEONE stands up to this fake!
lock BunkerBoyTrump up for treason
You people want constitutional rights but forgot to read the constitution.
What a stretch 😖
ACLU Terrorist sympathizers want some funds too I guess... why should BLM have it all... it's open season for virtue signalling
Hmm. Not all peaceful! 😳 As many of the protestors became more combative, continued to throw projectiles, & attempted to grab officers’ weapons, officers...
Obama's 2012 Anti Protest Bill H.R. 347 should take care of that.
What a joke the ACLU has become
Yet another well meaning organization moving Left and eventually down the toilet. Very 😔
They need to give it up. Enough is enough. How long are we going to tolerate this crap. The protesters seem to be above the law and then cry when they are hurt or forced to obey the law.
Now do how the ACLU came out against due process for those accused of rape.
BLM Black Looters Matter
We all agree BLM. We’re all sick to see the Floyd video repeatedly. Of the 1004 people killed by American police in 2019, 371 were white, and 236 were black. Imagine if there was this type of outcry for EVERY American murder. Not just from a few bad cops!
DumpTrump DumpTrumpDay3Nov DumpTrump2020 BlackLivesMatter
Lmao. This will get thrown out. How about the liberties of the victims of the riots?
This White House conducted chemical warfare against a civilian population, so a narcissist could feed his psychosis.
Yes! Thank you ACLU another donation on the way!!
The Church was burned ... peaceful protectors? The President must be protected ... can’t be near people who were not security checked ... and had possible weapons ... plain and simple ... all they had to do is walk away from the area ... is that too much to ask?
That will fail.
Let's hope this time, you didn't 'crop out' anything important from your media coverage
march4progress Hamas and Hezbollah are recalling their agitators from outside the WhiteHouse.
Violated the Geneva convention too
ACLU: Oh you guys are still around? Forgot you existed when you didn’t help anyone with their civil liberties during illegal Covid lockdowns. Your lawsuit is meaningless.
The is such a wonderful time for an ACLU fundraiser.
Lol that’s rich
Good luck with that, the court will probably need some evidence that they used illegal chemicals and that the rioters were in no way deserving of crowd control. It’s not a criminal case, the rioters own the entire burden of proof. I don’t think they have what it takes to win.
That would be several hundred counts, right?
All this while we are in a mandatory lockdown.
the ACLU has been compromised by Alt-Left Liberal Supremacists and is an enemy of the American citizens
Didn’t happen. Suit going nowhere. ACLU should be declared a domestic terror group.
He is the president and if such happened, it wasn't directly from him nor out of hate! He is the President of the United States and should be protected when seen necessary. He was showing his respect to the church that had been there for so long! Stop twisting lies upon lies!!
Support the ACLU. They support freedom of speech for the right and the left.
Well quit destroying shit..DUH Protest with out violence!!!!!
It is unfortunate that America turns into a police state and suppress freedoms

We laugh at you
🧐
Those girls need a weekend at Haiti
Funny not one video with all the media there of that happening. Gonna be hard win with no evidence
What do you have to say?
Be sure to report on this one once it is thrown out and not even considered by any sane judge.
What else is new? Let the frivilous lawsuits start
