Trump Makes Stunning Call for Police to Use ‘Extraordinarily Rough’ Tactics to Stop Crime: You Need ‘One Really Violent Day’

Former President Donald Trump proposed a day in which police officers were permitted to get “extraordinarily rough” with criminals for a single day, shoplifting would decrease and law and order would be restored to the country’s big cities.

Trump was addressing a crowd of supporters Sunday afternoon in Erie, Pennsylvania alongside Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) when he complained about retail theft in New York City.

“You know, in New York, you can’t walk into a drugstore now,” Trump said. “It’s like you’re in a prison of glass. If you want to buy aspirin, you have to wait 45 minutes for a clerk to come up and open, because of what’s gone.”

He said he recently knew of a tenant on Wall Street who was forced to close due to rampant thefts that he complained are not prosecuted by the courts.

“And the police aren’t allowed to do their job,” Trump complained. They’re told if you do anything, you’re going to lose your pension. You’re going to lose your family, your house, your car.”

Trump said the “liberal left” wants to “destroy our country” before he trailed off into an attack on Vice President Kamala Harris . He also proposed “one really violent day” to send a message to criminals. Trump said:

You know, if you had one day, like, one real rough, nasty day with the drug stores as an example, where when they start walking out with – you know, she created something in San Francisco, $950, you’re allowed to steal. Anything above that. You will be prosecuted. Well, it works out that the 950 is a misnomer because you can steal whatever you want. You can go way above, but you’d see it. Originally you saw kids walk in with calculators. They would calculate. They didn’t want to go over the $950 they’re standing with calculators, adding it up.

You know, these are smart, smart people. They’re not so stupid, but they have to be taught. Now, if you had one really violent day, like a guy like Mike Kelly put him in charge, Congressman Kelly put him in charge for one day. Mike, would you say you’re right here? He’s a great congressman. Would you say, Mike, that if you were in charge you would say, “Oh, please don’t touch them. Don’t touch them. Let them rob your store. Let all these stores go out of business,” right? They don’t pay rent. The dead. The city does have the whole. It’s a chain of events. It’s so bad. One rough hour, and I mean real rough. The word will get out and it will end immediately. End immediately. You know? It will end immediately.
