Not so much excessive force but literally punching somebody while they are already down. In the face. Unnecessary and uncalled for force was used

Although he was resisting arrest. Beating him in face was unnecessary.

The man was resisting and not complying. The officers tried other tactics to try to subdue the man.

Just what do you do with a person who is not fazed by a taser, and continues to attack two LEOs? Write them a ticket for disorderly conduct?

They should have just backed off and tazed him. With 2020 hindsight, that is what I would have done.

What the do on their soil, is their business, but once their drugs are out on boats in the big beautiful Gulf of America, blow them out of the water.

We're not the world's police and we executed those people in cold blood. If Venezuela wants to kill its citizens without proof and without a trial, then leave the US out of it.

Venezuela is helping the companies that make Narcan.

What do you think of demolishing part of the White House to build a ballroom?

I think if it were Obama, nothing would be said about it. I think just because it’s President Trump there is the hate that some have for him. Not this much controversy when all the other changes were done by other presidents. None of this is costing taxpayers as it has in the past.

Please provide an example of such an expansive change ... this ballroom is likely to turn out to be larger than the White House itself! I don't doubt we'll see a TRUMP sign on it before it is finished!

Trump is improving the White House, and he is using private funding to do that.

Right ... "private funding" in exchange for pardons and other favors. The more accurate description is BRIBES.

Separation of the rich and poor is getting wider. I was never invited to watch a movie in the movie room just like I'll never be invited to any dances.....I think we'd be better off if they tore down the west wing

It's history, it's respect and honor, the ballroom was never approved and the drawings show it overshadowing the White House itself. Awful
