Donald Trump’s closing message for the midterms

Bellevue Police Capt John Stuck: “We get kids that once that school resource officer has put the gloves on, or they see that the gloves are on, they immediately comply without even touching them or doing anything. Which again, that’s a complete success for us.” Hmm, where have I heard this before?
