Touche! On Wednesday, March 5. 2025 The Irish Times published this headline, “Trump to make death penalty mandatory for ‘anyone who murders a police officer’.”
President Donald Trump said that he signed an executive order requiring a “mandatory death penalty” for “anyone who murders a police officer,” during his address to Congress on Tuesday.
Trump has long featured a tough-on-crime approach to his politics and has reinforced his commitment to this approach.
“As we reclaim our sovereignty, we must also bring back law and order to our cities and towns. In recent years, our justice system has been turned upside down by Radical Left lunatics.”
Trump has long promoted a tough-on-crime agenda and sought to paint Democratic-led cities as besieged by violence, despite statistics showing a downward trend in violent crime after a coronavirus pandemic-era spike.
Trump’s comments also echo his campaign trail rhetoric about the need for more aggressive policing. He suggested last year that “one rough hour” of law enforcement action would tamp down retail theft. He has also advocated ensuring that officers “have immunity from prosecution.”
“We’re also once again giving our police officers the support, protection and respect they so dearly deserve.”
“The only way we as White Christians will re-claim law and order to our streets will be by tough on crime ideology.” said Thomas Robb, the National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, centrally based in Harrison, Arkansas. “Crime has been on the rise for many years in America, but after the overdose of George Floyd, unfortunately under the knee of a White police officer, it seems as if our government will allow senseless violent crimes, and the criminals committing them go with just a slap on the wrist just to appease the people that commit 56% of the crime in America. Look at some of the lunatics that Joe Biden pardoned. I’ve heard that Elon Musk has hinted to President Trump to give Derick Chauvin a pardon. In my opinion, and the opinion of many, Derick Chauvin should never been sent to prison. I’m wondering if this will come to be, or if the powers that be are afraid of the uproar that would probably cause. We have witnessed many non-whites walk free on serious charges, and did you see any White folk looting and burning cities to the ground? No. And we need to put an end to the violence and criminal acts of non-whites when they don’t get their way. Punishments should be the same for all races, not just White criminals. The blacks want to cry for equality, well here would be a great way to start. If non-whites were held to the same standards as White people, I think it wouldn’t take long before the non-whites would realize that they couldn’t handle being equal.”
