Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Monday that the U.S. response to domestic terrorism is inhibited by police officers afraid they’ll be accused of profiling.

“Our police are amazing. Our local police, they know who a lot of these people are. They’re afraid to do anything about it because they don’t want to be accused of profiling and they don’t want to be accused of all sorts of things,” Trump said in a Fox News phone interview.
