The Democrats war against law and order

Tim Hains:

FNC's Tucker Carlson reviews the record crime levels in Chicago and other inner cities, saying Democrats need to be held responsible for the collapse of law and order on city streets.

"You think [Chicago district attorney] Kim Foxx cares?" Tucker Carlson asked. "But she is not the only person who did this, the federal government also played a role."

"Over the eight years of Barack Obama administration, the department of justice forced more than a dozen police departments across the country to enter into what is called a consent decree. The Obama administration began an investigation into the Chicago police department and they got a consent decree. They pronounced police departments guilty of racism if they disproportionately interact with African-Americans, regardless of whether those interactions were legally justified. In other words, the law is entirely irrelevant to the consent decree."

"Here is a line from the DOJ consent decree imposed under Obama against Chicago: 'Raw statistics show CPD (Chicago Police Department) uses force 10 times more often against blacks than whites.' Okay, that is one data point. It is not the whole story."

"It doesn't begin to tell the whole story," he said. "No analysis whatsoever if the use of force in these specific cases was justified. None. This is not science, they may have graphs but it is not science. It is a crazed race ideology. The equity agenda... And these consent decrees have been a disaster for the people of these cities."

He continued: "People that put 'coexist' on bumper stickers on their Subarus defunded the animal cruelty unit in Los Angeles. Dogs can get tortured and nobody cares, and people, too. and the cops who remain on the forces by and large don't want to work there, because who would want to work there for any amount of money? Terrorizing police with threats of prosecution if they do their jobs. That is what the democratic party has done. And the effect has been what it was intended to be. Depopulating police departments. Crime surged. So in the end, they succeeded in getting rid of the police."

We should also not overlook the role of the Soros-backed prosecutors who refuse to prosecute the perps that are arrested.  The left's war on law enforcement has been a boon for criminals and a disaster for victims.
