“The Police have not been well treated”
Trump has also reacted to charges brought against former Atlanta Police Officer Garret Rolfe for killing black citizen Rayshard Brooks last week and has said he expects him to be “fairly treated” because he believes “Police have not been right. treated “in the United States.

It was very, very sad. Look, if you really look at it, it was out of control. The whole situation was out of control,” he explained.
