FAULKNER: Say no to chokeholds?

TRUMP: Yeah. I don’t like chokeholds. I will say this, as somebody that, you know, you grow up and you wrestle and you fight and you were you see what happens sometimes if you’re alone and you’re fighting somebody who’s tough and you get somebody in a chokehold. What are you going to do, say, oh, and it’s a real bad person and you know that. And they do exist. I mean, we have some real bad people. You saw that during the last couple of weeks. You saw some very good people protesting. You saw some bad people also. And you get somebody in a chokehold. And what you going to do now? Let go and say, oh, let’s start all over again. I’m not allowed to have you in a chokehold. It’s a tough situation. Now, if you have two people in case we’re talking about — four people and two of them, I guess, just pretty much started. So it’s a very, very, very tricky situation. So the chokehold thing is good because to talk about, because off the cuff, it would sound like absolutely. But if you’re thinking about it, then you realize maybe there is a bad fight and the officer gets somebody in a position that’s a very tough position.

FAULKNER: So you’re saying it’s a sliding scale depending on what the circumstances are?

TRUMP: I think you have to probably say —

FAULKNER: Do you want to be in that conversation? Are you in that conversation?

TRUMP: I really am. And I think the concept of chokehold sounds so innocent, so perfect. And then you realize if it’s a one-on-one. Now if it’s two-on-one, that’s a little bit of a different story, depending on the toughness and strength. You know, we’re talking about toughness and strength. We are talking there’s a physical thing here also. But if a police officer is in a bad scuffle and he’s got somebody …

FAULKNER: Well, if it’s a one-on-one fight for the life. That’s what you’re saying.

TRUMP: And that does happen. And that does happen. So you have to be careful, with that being said, it would be, I think, a very good thing that, generally speaking, it should be ended.

FAULKNER: Do you want that to be a top down federal or should it be at the local level?

TRUMP: Well, it could be at the local level.
