Now crime is considerably lower and (largely) because of social media & cell phone cameras more police abuses of authority are being exposed. Trump is the guy who says to rough them up and considers police killing "retribution."
what’s the difference between how democrats and the media view police today, and the way Al Sharpton has always viewed them?

Have fun with that.
