Democratic policies are accountable for the nationwide rise in criminal activity and fatal ambushes of officers, a leading Police union official stated, cautioning that regular release of violent culprits and new limitations on police are particular to make matters worse.
“I would say that most police officers don’t believe that Joe Biden is on their side,” Fraternal Order of Police National Vice President Joe Gamaldi told the “Just the News, Not Noise” TV show on Wednesday.
He slammed Democratic policies from the nationwide phase to the regional level for damaging and hindering officers.
Gamaldi, a Houston police sergeant, specifically blasted Chicago’s new guidelines, instituted by Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot, that forbids officers from ferreting out suspects associated with misdemeanors.
“Just when I think that they can’t coddle criminals any more than they do, they come out with a policy like this. Just when I think they can’t neuter our ability to enforce the law, they come out with something like this,” Gamaldi said, adding that it sends a clear message to criminals “that all you have to do is run from the police and we’re not going to chase you.”
Gamaldi discussed that the criminal justice policies in blue-ran cities eventually hurt minority communities more than most.
“When you have these people pushing these horrific policies, they don’t give a damn about the community. It’s agenda over people,” he told editor-in-chief John Solomon and co-host Amanda Head.
He blasted the cities with record-murder rates, New York, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia. Line-of-duty law enforcement officer deaths struck a record high in 2021, with ambush-style attacks up 115% from 2020.
Gamaldi particularly singled out Los Angeles, where District Attorney George Gascon came under fire just recently after 2 officers ambushed and killed in broad daytime by a male who was out on probation for felony gun posession.
“Our communities are fed up. They’re pissed off. They want safe streets,” Gamaldi said, stressing that citizens will hold soft-on-crime politicians “accountable at the ballot box,” shown by how Gascon is currently facing a recall.
The union leader’s broadside came the very same day Former Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan warned about the political liabilities of Democrat border policies.
Morgan, who served under both the Trump and Obama administrations, informed the “John Solomon Reports” podcast on Wednesday that he is not merely worried about the Biden administration’s “wide open” border policies empowering criminal drug cartels.
“My worry is is the next terrorist attack is already here being planned in the United States,” he said.
A record number of migrants are being encountered at the border, more than 800,000 migrants this year would be thought about “gotaways” who averted Border Patrol capture.
Morgan is worried that prospective terrorists snuck over the border as one of the “gotaways.”.
“This administration is lying to the American people, and they’re hiding the truth, reality and fact,” Morgan said, slamming the Biden administration for not being transparent about problems at the border.
South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman, whose state lost a Sheriff’s Deputy in an ambush recently, released a comparable warning about criminal offenses and the border.
“We don’t know who’s coming in. It’s a tragedy. It’s an assault on America. And I see it. It’s not letting up,” he told “Just the News, Not Noise” on Thursday. Norman said Biden’s border policies are about Democrat efforts to “try to get votes.”
Former federal district attorney Brett Tolman echoed Morgan’s issues over terrorism..
“The tragedy is that half of us do see it coming. We have experience with this,” he told “Just the News, Not Noise.”
“The cartels are absolutely fueling and providing opportunity for terrorism to come into the country,” Morgan said. “They want disruption because they gain more control the more they can disrupt at the border and into the interior of the United States.”
Tolman likewise implicated the Department of Justice and the FBI of abandoning years of political neutrality to pursue Democrat opponents at the expense of sound judgment and justice.
Tolman stated he is presently seeing “some of the most inconsistent” and “hypocritical decision making” in his 25 years associated with the criminal justice system.
“There was a time when it was really frowned upon for anyone in [the] main Justice [Department] to take a position that was political,” Tolman reflected, explaining that now, “The gloves have come off, and we see their true colors. And I never thought I’d be saying that about the Department of Justice.”
Tolman likewise sees issues with Democratic impact on the Justice system nationally. His father was a law enforcement officer in Los Angeles, and Tolman stated he understands that if his Dad lived today, “he’d be shocked to see how the left has really turned its back on law enforcement.”
He noted, “We’ve developed policies that have sent a message that certain crime is okay.”
When progressive prosecutors claim to be reforming the criminal justice system, Tolman said, “It’s not really reform. What it is is incompetence, and it is neglect, and bad decision making and exercising their prosecutorial discretion inappropriately.”
