President Donald Trump said Monday some police officers “choke†in shooting incidents in the United States, comparing them to golfers in a tournament.
During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham to incidents like Jacob Blake’s shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where a police officer shot him in the back as he tried to enter his vehicle.
“Shooting a guy in the back many times … couldn’t you have done something different? Couldn’t you have wrestled him?†Trump mused. “In the meantime, he might’ve been going for a weapon and there’s a whole big thing there. But they choke. Just like in a golf tournament, they miss a three-foot putt.â€
“You’re not comparing it to golf,†Ingraham interrupted. “Because of course, that’s what the media would say.â€
“I’m saying people choke,†Trump replied.
He noted police officers faced difficult decisions every day, some of them made quickly.
“You’ve got a quarter of a second to make a decision,†Trump said. “If you don’t make the decision and you’re wrong, you’re dead.â€
