Attacks Obama for wanting to 'deny due process to the police'

In the aftermath of the Eric Garner grand jury decision and nationwide protests against police brutality, Trump tweeted that 'Obama now wants to deny due process to the police. He'll give all constitutional rights to the terrorists but not our cops.' The tweet came just days before two NYPD officers were murdered in their patrol car, an event that escalated the political conflict. Trump's framing positioned police as victims while ignoring the unarmed Black men killed by officers.
