Trump talks about 'systemic racism' in policing during Sinclair town hall
The president said that while police needed greater respect from Americans,"there always is [systemic racism] and that's a shame."
He later appeared to say that there is indeed systemic racism in policing:"There is, and I think there's not much, or hopefully, there's not much," he said. The president then pointed out"a lot of our police departments are made up of Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans. Really, it's not like it was 20, 25 years ago." He added,"But I guess there always is [systemic racism] and that's a shame.
At one point, he responded to another audience member's question about what he would do for inner-city Black Americans during a second presidential term by suggesting that crime in Baltimore could in part be solved by"stronger policing." Trump responded,"People don’t want to see all of the politics. They've got enough politics with me and with everybody else. And they don’t want to see it with football or sports on Sunday or whenever they happen to be watching. I think it’s had a huge impact on sports, a huge negative impact on sports... And if people want to protest they can.
