😱Obama Says Trump Crime Crackdown ‘Not Our Idea Of America’

Speaking on Maron’s podcast, Obama said, “We don’t want masked folks with rifles and machine guns patrolling our streets. We want cops on the beat who know the neighborhood and the kids around, and that’s how we keep the peace around here.”

He also warned against what he described as politicization within the justice system. “We don’t want kangaroo courts and trumped up charges. That’s what happens in other places that we used to scold for doing that,” Obama said. “We want our court system and our Justice Department and our prosecutors and our FBI to be just playing things straight and looking at the facts and not meddling in politics the way we’ve seen lately.”
