Donald Trump’s speech to Long Island, New York police encouraged violence and roughing up: “Don’t be nice when you make arrests” Trump said.

“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over?” Trump said, miming the physical motion of an officer shielding a suspect’s head when being placed in a squad car following an arrest.

“Like, don’t hit their head, and they just killed somebody — don’t hit their head,” Trump continued. “I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”

Trump said that unlike in the past, he has their back – dusting off his stump speech attacks during Election 2016 campaign on President Barack Obama – no friend of law enforcement he would say to roaring crowds at his rallies.

On Friday, Suffolk County, Long Island police cheered and applauded Trump when he said they should rough up suspects during an arrest. Especially when placing them in transport.

It was in November 2016 that the Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for beating a thief who stole pornography and sex toys from the chief’s SUV.

The police chief punched the shackled prisoner and shook his head violently at the police precinct. The Suffolk County police chief threatened the prisoner saying he would receive a “hot shot” –  slang for a fatal dose of heroin.

Just the day before Trump’s speech one of Suffolk County own police officers was arrested by  the FBI. Officer Christopher McCoy was charged of “depriving an arrestee of the right to bodily integrity,” for allegedly forcing a woman detained at the police precinct to perform lewd acts.

After Trump’s speech Suffolk County police said they knew Trump had their back again – “not like that last one,” referring to Barack Obama.

“That was great,” they told Newsday reporter Mark Chiusano. “That was awesome. Trump “inspired confidence,”
