MOBB United for Social Change Demands President Trump Retract Statements Promoting Police Brutality
Background: M.O.B.B. United for Social Change calls on Congress to denounce president Trump's recent statements about roughing up persons in police custody and to demand that he retract those statements. President Trump encouraged behavior that is illegal, and which violates constitutional protections against police mistreatment. These remarks are reprehensible and dangerous. What we need from the president and his administration is encouragement and leadership to stamp out brutality and excessive force that can erode the relationship between officers and the people they police.
