Trump was showing his supposed support for law enforcement with this Trump Social post:
He wrote:
23-year-old Melvindale Police Officer Mohamed Said, a true American hero, was gunned down by a suspect he was pursuing last Saturday. Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin described Officer Said as a “kind soul who proudly served the residents of Melvindale.” The men and women of law enforcement deserve our respect for the selfless job they do every day serving our communities. Pray for Officer Said, his family, and all law enforcement!
Needless to say Trump wants to be seen as pro-police unless the police are among those speaking out against him for not stopping the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6th.
This post backfired to some extent because the officer who was slain was a Muslim. It led to bigoted responses from Truth Social members. These are from the RawStory article:
- "Michigan is mostly Muslims, infiltrated via CAIR by Obama," @AlJahn wrote. "Their main tactic is to eliminate police. That's all you need to know." (I had to look up CAIR, it's the Council on American-Islamic Relations.)
- @Mfnmkr said, "That's a no go zone. Sharia law runs that place. Wake up sheep it's spreading."
- "Sounds like Dearborn is infested with Muslims," another user, @Sicaj526, wrote on Trump's post.
- "Dearborn is a world class s---hole!" wrote @Patriot_Dad_67. "The middle easterners have taken over the town and made it just like home, riddled with crime and killing."
- @Magadonian wrote, "He looks like a terrorist to me. It's the name."
- @Marknunya99 said, "Sorry but Mohamad wants all Christians dead. No concern here."
- Ryan Deakins, @Ryandeakins, said simply, "U lost my vote.
