Our country has riots and looting in many cities across the nation. Police are working around the clock to ensure citizens and businesses are safe from these supposed “peaceful” protests. So of course libs would start throwing out the ludicrous notion to defund the very people trying to keep the peace. Police are keeping these cities from being completely destroyed meanwhile libs can’t seem to get enough of the chaos and destruction. A.G. Barr pointed out just how dangerous this defund the police motion is during an interview with Brett Baier.
“Barr told Fox News he agreed on the need for changes in police departments to address the concerns of many people of color, but he stopped well short of supporting moves to defund departments.
“The police chiefs, the rank-and-file officers understand the need for change and there has been great change,” Barr said in the interview with Bret Baier.” “I think defunding the police, holding the entire police structure responsible for the actions of certain officers is wrong and I think it is dangerous to demonize police.”
The attorney general referenced a bloody weekend in Chicago that saw “60 to 70 people shot” as a reason for needing to keep police departments funded. Over the last few years, Chicago has been dealing with a scourge of gun violence, with a total of 85 people being shot – 24 fatally – in the last weekend of May.
“If you pull back the police from these communities there will be, there will be more harm done in these communities,” Barr said.
Barr’s comments mirror those of President Trump, who has repeatedly slammed proponents of defunding police departments and cast himself as a “law & order” president.”
I don’t know what these libs are thinking. Any point these protesters were trying to prove is being shrouded by all of the violence and damage these protesters are causing. We need our police officers, they keep our communities safe and often put their lives on the line for us. If only the MSM could broadcast that message.
Barr is a guardian of the swamp. Anything he says is suspect and will remain so until the coup plotters are dangling from a tree. What citizen can trust the government when Barr covers for evil doers.
Why do you think he is providing cove r for those traitors? I think he is being cautious dotting all his “i’sand crossing all his t’s because he has to be 100% accurate with his charges or some Looney, leftist judge will throw out all the indictments
Only radicals who want to see America destroyed and left in the trash heap of history would consider refunding the police which are our first line of defense against the criminal element in our society!
