Harold Ford Jr. On Buttigieg Saying He Feels More Safer Today: I’d Assume He’d Have Security While Walking His Dogs

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
>> Greg: the data they were pushing didn’t match their eyeballs. We knew that the defunding, the politicalization of the Justice Department, all that stuff was destroying us. They were telling us now. They were gaslighting us.
>> Harold: the politicization of the Justice Department.
>> Greg: criminal justice I should say.
>> Harold: we have set on the show them if you feel unsafe, note number of stats are going to tell you you are not. You said something also, judge. I would assume that the secretary and security when he was walking his dog. I would feel comfortable and safe if I were him. A couple of things. We have set on the show for the life of me, I don’t understand why vice president Harris whom I have a great deal of respect for and like, one of the great prosecutors this country ever had. By you and go around the country and gather up all the great practices around the country and whether it is reducing homicides, with the assault or reducing thefts or gun violence, Dallas, you did a great thing on the Dallas police chief. You and bill did a few months back talking about how the morale of the police is up there. Crime numbers are down and the mayor, a Democrat switched to being Republican. These are the kinds of things now that you want people switching from Democrat or Republican. Let’s figure out how we adopt these around the country. Something I think we all fully agree on, cashless bell hasn’t worked. You can’t let them back out 10 minutes later. We have seen unbelievably disgusting statistics and fixable statistics here in New York where we understand that a small number of people are committing the majority of the crimes over and over and over again. Key people in jail. There’s nothing wrong with spending more money on police officers. There’s nothing wrong with giving police officers the equipment they need as well as investing in the kinds of things in communities that help get people to not commit crimes. When people commit a crime, they need to be arrested. And people commit a violent crime, they shouldn’t get out on their own recognizance or because a group of legislators think it might be the right thing to do. People in New York, we’ve got to do it all across the country and change these laws.
