He can send the DoJ in to investigate. He could have the DoJ overturn the memos Sessions sent. AND he has the goddamn bully pulpit to direct policy.

Many folks drive around not realizing they’re inviting Police to stop them whenever they like.
Its important to add the five fundamental words to every statue- that are implied and never written.
Where non-federal police are involved, the president has significantly less power to EO anything.
My experience is that if cops want to pull you over they will, regardless of any factual reasons. Laws like this just give them an on paper excuse to use after the fact.
“The buck has to stop somewhere. And I pick on Democrats because picking on Republicans is futile; all the turtle memes on the planet have yet to change McConnell.
I can see that.
You can't tell me that, in terms of running an ENTIRE country and all the bullshit from the election, that three months is enough time to turn the country around? That is wholly unrealistic. You can't even settle 7th graders after that amount of time(I taught 7th grade.) In sheer scale, you cannot tell me that. You…
Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed 2 people, then passed several police officer with his weapon clearly visible.
He didn’t died.
He wasn’t shot.
He wasn’t arrested.
He wasn’t even talked to.
He was waved away.
Strangely, lethal force seems only used by the police when a specific kind of person is involved (black and brown…
Volante3192 is not interested in a true accounting or proper apportionment of responsibility (or the fact the president is literally and explicitly not in charge of the police in some random city, for that matter). This is just an opportunity to affix blame to some Dems:
Fuck you with the victim blaming, especially knowing nothing more than he’s dead by cop.
NLVPD claimed that they investigated the incident, writing Hollingsworth “initially refused to comply with requests
Not just disabled people, but people trying to help disabled people as well:
In all the bad police interactions we’ve seen, I hadn’t even considered the issues a disabled person might face! What a nightmare! And what pressure to put on this woman’s children to help a muthafukka with a gun communicate. What utter garbage thinking by that cop!
“Refused to comply?” Uh, stupid idiots, SHE’S DEAF!!!! She is going to refuse to comply if she doesn’t understand what the hell is going on. She may not be good at reading lips or not being able to do so at all. Have some sense for crying out loud.
In fairness, the jackbooted thug’s narrative “the deaf lady failed to immediately comply with verbal commands” is probably pretty accurate.
“initially refused to comply with requests and was briefly detained until police completed their investigation.”
Said it better than I could because all I have is a bunch of curses and rage running through my brain.
First of all, fuck the landlord who called the cops on her. Second of all fuck that cop for being a sleazy piece of shit and treating a deaf woman as if she’s not even human. He didn’t need to pull her out of the car. He could have stood a safe distance away, pulled down his mask, and talked. I’m sure she’s able to…
