During a speech Friday about cracking down on eroticism reviewthe MS-13 gang, President Donald Trump pushed it too far when it came to the topic of police brutality.

Amnesty International USA weighed in on Trump's comments. In a statement condemning the president's views, Zeke Johnson, senior director of programs, said, “This inflammatory and hateful speech will only escalate tensions between police and communities and put both law enforcement and civilians at risk."
He added, "encouraging violence by police is irresponsible and reprehensible.”
Trump's views on law enforcement and inciting violence are nothing new -- and continue to include a racist undercurrent directed at communities of color.

At a time when police and community relations are already tense, Trump's apparent suggestion for cops to rough up suspects is clearly a tactic that is questionable at best.
