Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump flashes thumbs up after being 
endorsed at a regional police union meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Speaking to a powerful police officers’ union in New Hampshire Thursday night, Republican front runner Donald Trump vowed that if elected, one of his first actions in office would be signing a particular executive order.

“Anybody killing a policeman, a policewoman, a police officer, anybody killing a police officer: Death penalty is going to happen, okay?” he told the cheering crowd. “The police and the law enforcement in this country — I will never ever let them down, just remember that.”

Trump did not say how the executive order would work in the 19 states that have banned the death penalty. In states that have the death penalty, killing an officer is often already considered an “aggravating factor” in deciding whether a defendant will be eligible for capital punishment.

Trump also voiced support for police acquiring and using military equipment, calling President Obama’s work to scale back access to such weapons and tactical vehicles in the wake of unrest in Ferguson, Missouri “a tremendous mistake.”

The New England Police Benevolent Association, which has about 5,000 members across New Hampshire and Massachusetts, endorsed Trump at Thursday night’s event, telling reporters they selected “the candidate who best serves our membership.”

Executive Director Jerry Flynn added, “Listen, our message very clear: It’s what is the next president of the United States going to do to unite this country in an effort to save police officers? Because it’s open season on police officers.”

The number of officers killed on the job, however, is the lowest it has been in decades. More people were killed by police in the first week of September alone than the number of officers killed in all of 2015.

Trump’s popularity in the Granite State has never been higher, as the candidate has climbed to 27 percent in the polls following his declaration that all Muslims be barred from entering the United States.

Yet outside the hotel Thursday night, hundreds of protesters gathered to denounce both Trump’s anti-Islam remarks and the police union’s endorsement of a campaign increasingly aligned with white supremacist beliefs. 

Holding signs reading, “Shame on the police union!!!” and “NH police endorse racism,” the demonstrators called out Trump’s controversial remarks about Muslims, refugees, and Mexican immigrants, warning that such rhetoric is already leading to “an increase in fear and threats.”

In the last few weeks alone, there has been a major spike in physical and verbal attacks across the U.S. against Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim — including the shooting of a cab driver in Philadelphia, death threats against a member of Congress, and an assault on a store owner in Queens.

A message from Dr. Ben Carson

Meet Dr. Ben Carson

The “war on women.”

“Black lives matter.”

“The 99 percent” versus “the 1 percent.”

These are the phrases of the purveyors of division, who seek every day to pit one group of Americans against the other. In the meantime, no real problems are being solved.

During all my years as a brain surgeon, I would operate on what makes people who they are. It’s not their gender, their skin color, or their income bracket.

I’m running for President because I believe our strength is in our unity, and we need to take a sharp turn away from this nonsense.

My campaign is a movement to heal, inspire and revive the America that allowed me to climb from dire poverty in Detroit to become a world-renowned physician.

At this point, we’ve now accepted over 450,000 grassroots donations. Over 2.7 million people have joined me on Facebook. We are surging both nationally and in every state, and a new poll shows me as the strongest general election candidate against Hillary Clinton.

I’ve been disappointed by politicians in both parties peddling broken promises. Some say I don’t have the “political experience” to be President, but look where Washington, with a combined 9,000 years of “political experience,” has gotten us.

Washington is broken. The politicians broke it. Only the united voice of “We the People” can right the ship and I’m the outsider candidate ready to lead that fight.

You, your children, and your grandchildren deserve a future of unity, opportunity and prosperity.

Whites barred from Blacks Matter event

Whites not allowed from the files of Colonel Allen B. West

Oak Park and River Forest High School - Oak Park, Illinois

As a nation, it appears we’re still not quite there when it comes to having “an honest discussion about race.” And with all the cries for “inclusiveness” it’s not exactly clear how that turns into “exclusiveness” – as occurred recently in an Illinois high school.

On February 27th, as part of Black History Month, Oak Park and River Forest High School organized an event called “Black Lives Matter” – in fact they mattered so much that no white lives were invited.

As the Chicago Tribune reports, “white parents reported that their students were turned away when they tried to attend the Black Lives Matter event. The parents said they were offended that in a school and community that prides itself on diversity and inclusion that students who wanted to attend would be excluded.”

“As of last year, the school’s student population was 55 percent white, 27 percent black, 9 percent Hispanic, 6 percent multiracial and 3 percent Asian, according to the school’s website. The high school’s percentage of black students is more than twice the national average for the black population as a whole, and the percentage of students who identify as multiracial is about six times the national average, according to the U.S. Census.”

Nathaniel Rouse, the school’s (black) principal who organized the event, said it was not intended to be exclusive – although I’m not sure what part of “no white students may attend” would not be interpreted as exclusive.

“Rouse, who has been principal at the school for seven years, said the decision to allow only black students was based in an idea known as affinity grouping. In an affinity group, the philosophy is that students of one racial persuasion are able to express themselves fully and safely.”

Do you think Principal Rouse would call inner city black neighborhoods “affinity groups?” Is a whites-only golf club an “affinity group?”

Birds of a feather do indeed flock together. People of different cultures and interests often do prefer to congregate together. If they choose to do it, it’s an “affinity group,” if they don’t, it’s segregation or a ghetto.

If I go to a Chinese restaurant and see mostly Chinese people eating there, I figure that’s a good sign. After all, they know the food, right? Am I being racist?

The point Rouse was making however is that different groups – whether black, Hispanic or Asian – feel more comfortable voicing their opinions among their own racial peers.

“I found it has been far easier for me to talk about my experiences with racism with individuals that look like me,” he said. “I still struggle myself with talking about my experiences with people who don’t look like me.”

Fair enough. There’s nothing wrong with groups of like-minded people meeting together to discuss their shared experiences. People do it in churches and synagogues every week.

But trying to promote inclusiveness through exclusion doesn’t cut it. You can’t have it both ways.
