WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday there will not be any disbanding of police following calls for law enforcement to be defunded in the aftermath of the death of a black man in police custody in Minneapolis that has sparked nationwide protests.

Trump, speaking in a roundtable discussion with law enforcement officials at the White House, said 99 percent of police are great people although there are some bad apples.

Nobody is serious about defunding police. It's just a tactic to try and get police reforms. The obvious solution is to send black cops to deal with black criminals. There would be no riots if a black cop had killed Floyd. Of course a black cop probably wouldn't have killed him.
Wow....Dr Donny is really sticking his neck out with that statement. There’s also a bad apple every once in a while in the WH. But I digress....As absurd an idea as it is to disband police departments, what’s he going to do, issue one of his handy-dandy Executive Orders to prevent it? LOL!
You agree disbanding America's police is a ridiculous idea and yet still find a way to fault the President for agreeing with you. Epic..
Finish the statement Trump - one bad apple spoils the bunch!
That's what I was thinking. We need plans to get rid of these bad apples before we get more bad apples. A few bad apples is too many. But I think he was just trying to call attention to all the good cops who protect and serve.
I'm sure all the all model citizens similar to George Floyd will behave themselves
Trump is a piece of human garbage
weak try again.
Yeah because common sense? The cops do a lot of important *******work. Anyone who is against them has some sort of sick motive. We can go to the Wild Wild West, but it's not as romantic as it sounds. Dead people everywhere looting, stealing, and shooting eachother is not a future the USA should have. Im looking forward to this leading to the USA splitting into multiple countries. Let these extreme left states run themselves into the ground, but we need to have a wall for them to come and visit us
Trump's enemies wanna make him infamous, they use anything to make scandal for Trump, Pity dear black people. They can't see the success of USA, USA is on zenith of everything. USA should take care of it's states collapse.
