Donald Trump Proposes Controversial 'Purge' Style Policing to Combat Crime
In a recent campaign rally, Donald Trump suggested that a significant increase in police brutality, described as 'one rough hour' or even 'one really violent day' of policing, could effectively end theft and crime. His rhetoric has drawn widespread criticism and comparisons to the horror movie 'The Purge', with critics labeling his proposal as dangerously authoritarian. Amidst the backlash, Trump's comments have sparked a national debate on the implications of such violent policing tactics, especially as fellow candidate Kamala Harris emphasized immigration reform as a solution to social issues.
