It will be Trump’s fourth arrest since April, when he became the first former president in U.S. history to face indictment. Since then, Trump, who remains the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, has had what has seemed like an endless procession of bookings and arraignments in jurisdictions across the country. His appearances in New York, Florida and Washington, D.C., have drawn enormous media attention, with news helicopters tracking his every move.

    Could someone please handcuff this guy, even for 10 minutes? People get beaten with sticks for stealing $20 of groceries.

      Unfortunately in America he is to rich and most of the police are on his side. Some who work forces…

      I would argue for the opposite, can we work to treat low risk, non violent offenders with more respect instead?

        “When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just seen them thrown in, rough. I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice,’”

        Trump said, addressing a group of police officers.

        Generally I’m with you, but if Trump gets a little roughed up I won’t cry too hard.

        sure, but there’s a huge difference between the two crimes and one would be deserving of such action, and the other spectrum is not.

        Doesn’t inciting violence make you a risky, violent offender?

        Charles Manson never killed anyone.

          let me put it this way, let’s not rough anyone up just for the fun of it. Why use force if they are submitting themselves freely, no matter the crime?
          If they have commited horrible crimes, aren’t the punishment supposed to come after the hearings, not before?

      I was kind of hoping he would refuse to surrender and be forced or dragged in. Or maybe a chase with secret service caught in the middle.
