Twitter and Instagram users reacted to Trumps words with some harsh comments as well.

savonnaa "nobody gives a fuck what Trump has to say.."

jussdrene "That's why you'll never be President! Because of these ignorant comments. What does our President have to do with the riots?"

kayenix "White Supremacy at its finest."

_tee_isthequeen "D. Trump can kiss my African American ass"

the_lovely_nita "Donald Trump has never stepped foot in Baltimore a day in his life. He could care less about what's going on. He just looks for any opportunity to mention Obama. He is obsessed with that man."

eittek "When is his old ass gonna die? Tf did our great WHITE president Bush do about the police killing unarmed black men during his presidency?"

As Twitter, and other social media reacted to Trumps words, rapper Meek Mill had a view words of his own, reflecting on his past run in's with police.

In the snapshot below the rapper wrote a touching message about his run in with police.

"Lips swollen .... Stitches in both swollen eyes! One of my braids ripped out! I weighed about 130 at the time And I was found guilty of assaulting cops! It's clear 2 see I was punched and stomped by a few cops! If I wasn't blessed the way I am I still would have hatred in my heart towards cops but I forgave bcuz I know all cops ain't the same! 2 'black cops' got on the stand and lied and cried about how I chased them down with a gun and tried to kill them!" he wrote in his Instagram post. "I caught that case at 18 and was stripped of my freedom and taken away from my family 4 times for the same case and still on probation.. 1 step away from jail if I make one mistake! I can't blame my judge because the law labels cops as 'expert witnesses' and it was cops against a black kid and she's suppose to believe a cops testimony first!! I never got a chance to speak to my judge about this from young man to woman and I hope she sees this to help other young men that won't b able to make it thru what I made it thru! After I caught the case I had no choice to hustle in the streets to get a good lawyer aka a good liar to help me get my freedom!"

After his post reached the masses, fans wrote comments like:

haileyjai_ "Swear you the realist and most relatable rapper these young men have to look up to! Keep motivating the streets."

bad_people_musxx "I'm glad you mentioned the black cops too, cause in Jamaica it's the same kinda shit happens. These mfs got brain wash by the system they feel that they are God's behind the trigger, so they pick it up on there self to judge us. (Man trying to do God's work) and the so called judges just make that shit official when they make these pigs get away with that shit. They all working together. And the few racist cops out there makes it even worst! Police brutality it happens to all of us, my bothers"

Meek tweeted more comments that read:

Meek Mill wasn't finished; he also added a photo of a permanent scar he received while being handcuffed. He wrote: "Permanent handcuff scars from when I was 18... Can you imagine cuffs stopping Ya blood circulation and Ya blood dripping on the handcuffs I thought it was somebody pretending to b cops tryna kidnap me!"
