Today, President Trump held a round-table meeting at the White House with three of his most powerful and influential black supporters.
So, of course, Mr. Wayne Durpree was there front and center – actually seated right next to President Trump to discuss measures to help reform law enforcement in wake of Mr. Floyd’s murder.
I’ve noticed – and I know a lot of others did as well – that police were overreaching a lot during the COVID pandemic. Video after video of police treating American citizens like criminals for some of the silliest things you’ve ever seen rolled out daily. Many people, including myself, saw those videos and realized that we need to get the police to go back to being community ambassadors, not Gestapo’s.
Now, that’s not to say that all police are bad. Nobody here is demonizing the hardworking police, even though the left is acting like they’re all serial killers, which is utter nonsense.
But between those endless COVID overreach videos and the ghastly death of Mr. Floyd, it’s apparent that there is room for improvement – and that’s okay. Nobody’s perfect, and everyone should be open to constructive change.
So, it was important to have leaders like Wayne Dupree there to share their point of view.
President Trump introduced Wayne as his friend and then Wayne went on to share a little bit about his background and relationship with President Trump. Wayne told the president that he was confident he could and would make the necessary changes to help police officers and folks in troubled communities.
Here’s the opening statement from Wayne.
