Who would he invite? George Floyds family and the officers who were arresting him?

Do you realize that in the first (Obama) instance the Cop was in the right?

And in the second case, not only was the Cop in the wrong -- but it has never been shown to be about race at all?

This has nothing to do with Floyd's family.  It's all about the Cops and the support/lack of support the President displays toward them.

Obama made the Harvard Professor arrest all about race, even though it was not. Obama was WRONG.

The original post's question was "imagine if that happened today with Pres Trump", as in having a beer with a Cop he wrongly accused of racism toward a suspect.

In other words, what if Trump tried to fan the flames of racial division using a similar situation -- which he had no real business involving himself in  --  and then found out hours later that he had none of his facts straight?

How would the media and far left extremists be treating Trump?  I'd say, 180 degrees from the way they let Obama's race-baiting comments fade away under a blanket of indifference.

He's obfuscating by asking stupid questions, as if the OP was saying Trump should have a beer with the dead, intoxicated, resisting arrest perp's family.

Anything to divert from the issue.

That’s a pretty bold statement Man of Many User Names. You saying he deserved to die in that manner ? The combined videos of that incident start to finish are pretty nuts.

RobDmc, open your eyes and stop being triggered. Read the posts for yourself.
No one quote that as he has me blocked and he’ll get triggered.  :shake:

Jokes are supposed to be funny.  You find dead citizens at the hands of cops and race-baiting presidents hilarious?

Proves how sick you really are.

I see, I guess you prefer low brow humor. Perhaps you would enjoy a fart sound instead?
