Let's stop pretending we can arrest our way to safety and security. Despite all the fine work that policemen and women do, we have got to find other solutions to deter crime.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we were really tough on crime, we'd do more to stop it from happening in the first place.
There's good and evil going on. We have cops. We have robbers.
Either we need to redefine what probable cause means and say that police are not subject to it, or we arrest officers right away just as we would with any other person accused of committing a crime. Either we write new laws or enforce existing ones; we cannot have it both ways.
The police protect us, and we're going to protect the police.
We've prosecuted police, dozens of them over the years.
To be smart on crime, we should not be in a position of constantly reacting to crime after it happens. We should be looking at preventing crime before it happens.
Let's talk about policing and public safety. Let's debate what works and what does not. We must abandon practices that do not work, and do more of the things that actually do work to save lives.
We have to ensure we are aggressively enforcing existing laws.
If we're going to change the laws, let's change them in ways which makes it easier to catch criminals, and yet at the same time protect the Second Amendment rights of our law-abiding citizens.
We must be vigilant in our actions towards criminals, and innovative in our approach towards solving crime.
