Trump lies about Obama, Biden and policing

He said they did nothing. He’s a liar…again.

His speech was worthless and he used the white supremacy keyword “heritage” at the end to appeal to the bigots in his base.

So that was weird. And my GOP source was correct in that there was no substance in Trump’s “police reform” announcement. It was mainly a ramble, praising himself, attacking President Obama and Democratic mayors and droning about the economy while gushing over police and violence.

So the EO "bans chokeholds" except when the police want to use chokeholds?

The 116-page 2015 report of Obama's "Task Force on 21st Century Policing" is still up on the Department of Justice website: https://t.co/nFpgpHBq8s https://t.co/f52Eziy9cm

NEW: Dwayne L. Palmer & his mother, Rose, were among the families who met w/ Pres Trump for about an hour. Palmer told me Trump was sympathetic but used a lot of "platitudes." "Kind words," he said. "But, speaking for my family, we are beyond kind words. We want to see action.”

Before his lies, he met with families of people who were killed by police.

NOT TRUE what @realDonaldTrump said that @BarackObama & @JoeBiden did nothing! The Obama admin had 21st Century Policing enforced by the DOJ & its Civil Rights Division. Pattern & Practice & body cams were part of the accountability then. Trump abolished the Civil Rights office

Trump claims Obama and Biden "never even tried" to address these problems during their eight years in office. That's not true at all.

Trump says Obama didn't reform policing. But Obama did and then Trump ditched it https://t.co/VsQMtdr3TE
