"The rising crime rate in this country demands a leader who prioritizes enforcing the law and protecting citizens first, not scoring points with radical constituencies."

In the New York Post, Matt Whitaker writes,

The most serious issue in policing today is a skyrocketing homicide rate — not “systemic racism,” the issue that animates those “mostly peaceful protestors” who are looting businesses and destroying public property across the land.

Joe Biden should show leadership on the slay spree. Instead, he panders to the anti-police left.

...It’s a pattern extending nationwide — 36 of the country’s 50 largest cities have experienced double-digit homicide increases in 2020, and the trend is getting worse, not better.

Biden’s hard-left policy platform is utterly divorced from this reality. The Democratic presidential nominee has failed to address the crime wave and to formulate a serious plan for restoring order.
