These are scary times in trump's America. Consider the following:A woman is given a five year sentence for voting illegally in Texas back in 2016. Five years!
The reason that she got jammed up was because she allegedly voted while being a felon. Still, you have to wonder, would something like this have happened if we weren't living in trump's America?
Then there is the state killing of an unarmed black man in California. When asked about it the White House said that it [along with other state killings of men of color] is "a local matter" and they pretty much washed their hands of all of these sad episodes. This is the same White House that took the tragic killing of a white woman in California, and made a political issue out of it, while spinning a narrative about bad immigrants. They made her killing a national issue. It was, and still is, red meat for their rabid base.
Meanwhile, innocent black men are still being unjustifiably killed by members of law enforcement, and this president still chooses to say -and do- nothing. Heck he won't even allow his attorney general to address the issue.
Today the Baton Rouge police department released the video of the Alton Sterling killing. Sadly, we can hear the "trained" police officer calling Mr. Sterling a "stupid mother fucker", right after taking his life.
Make no mistake, that police officer knows where he is.
He is living in trump's America, and he is acting accordingly.
