President Donald Trump correctly blasted the “dishonest media” during a speech in front of law enforcement officials, and they responded with applause.
Trump gave his speech at the Major Cities Chiefs Association Winter Conference, where he showed the solidarity and respect for law enforcement that has been disturbingly missing over the last eight years.

“You are the role models to young Americans all across this country, many of whom want to go into law enforcement,” the president said. “Many of whom want to be a sheriff or a police chief. Many of whom. They have great respect for you, tremendous respect.”
He noted that the law enforcement officers “don’t even realize it,” but it is true.
“They have great respect and admiration for the people in this room and the people that you represent. And don’t let anyone ever tell you different. Don’t let the dishonest media try and convince you that it’s different than that because it’s not.”
Breitbart reported:
He vowed “zero tolerance” for acts of violence against law enforcement officials, acknowledging that they had experienced difficulties in the past few years.
But he acknowledged that people who wore the law enforcement uniform would be held to the highest possible conduct.
Trump said that law enforcement had been unfairly undermined in recent years, and deserved unity and support.
“Those who demonize law enforcement or use the actions of a few to discredit the service of many of many are hurting the very people they say they want to help,” he said.
This is what needed to be said, which was sorely lacking during former President Barack Obama’s time in the White House.
Trump acknowledged, of course, that there are bad apples in every bunch, but made it clear that law enforcement deserves the support that has been thwarted by the pathetically, shamefully, and dangerously dishonest media.
Good for Trump. Law enforcement has been demonized by the liberal mainstream media in an effort to push their radical agenda, and it’s heartening to finally have a president that stands by them after eight long years.
