His speech stuck largely to that theme, though he also made note of Thursday night\u2019s failed health-care vote.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s speech was noteworthy, though, for its embrace of aggressive tactics by police officers. He insisted that his team was \u201crough\u201d and encouraged police officers not to be concerned about preventing physical harm to people being taken into custody. The laws, he said, were \u201cstacked against\u201d the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease don\u2019t be too nice,\u201d Trump told the officers, to applause.
