Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump took a moment during Thursday’s primetime Republican presidential debate to share with the audience that he thought police officers were “the most mistreated people” in America.

Trump was talking about the mass shooting in San Bernardino and how police found pipe bombs in the terror attackers’ apartment when he went off on that tangent.

“And by the way, the police are the most mistreated people in this country,” he said to applause. “I will tell you that. The most mistreated people.”

    Donnie you are insulting our intelligence with comments like that.
    The police have guns. They use them. On unarmed people. Sometimes 16 shots. Sometimes in the back. Sometimes in the back when the person is fleeing.

    Trump your only saving grace is the damage you are doing to the GOP. Other than that you are Coultergeist in trousers.

  2. Yea Mr. Dumpster - – That’s because “ignorance and want” are best kept “under the robes” —

  3. You got that right—“But most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom…”

  4. This honey badger hat wearing sumbitch doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. Then again, we are talking about a jackass who wanted to give the death penalty to the Central Park 5 and when they were found out to be innocent, didn’t take walk that take back. No Trump, kops aren’t the most mistreated people in Murika. The unarmed people, and those that die from suspicious circumstances in their ktody, are the most mistreated people in Murika

  5. Seems to me Presidents are the most mistreated people in America since 2009.
