I Am Betting Trump's War On Crime Will Be War Against Blacks & Hispanics.

The DOJ will focus on the inner cities where poverty is the biggest reason for crime. There are no opportunities in many of these places. You can make more money in one deal to feed yourself than you can flipping burgers for two months. You cannot even feed yourself on so many of the wages available if there are any.

Police will be told they have much more room to harshly treat protesters.

It will be unconstitutional, but when you pack the federal courts and the SC with filthy sycophant fascists, it all of a sudden becomes legal.

Whenever a politician starts spouting "law and order" it generally means "we're gonna punish the folks you don't like." Especially RW "populists."
