Trump emphasized the need to support law enforcement, stating that current political correctness hampers their ability to do their jobs. "We have great police that are not allowed to do their job if they do their job with gusto," he said. He argued that police officers deserve protection and dignity as they risk their lives, adding, "They lose their family, they lose their house, they lose their pension" when facing lawsuits.
In discussing crime, Trump commented on how negative incidents are amplified by media coverage. "You'll always have a bad apple, and you know, hundreds, hundreds and hundreds of arrests, one bad arrest, and it's on the front page of every newspaper," he lamented, suggesting that the focus on negative outcomes damages public perception of law enforcement.
He criticized the political landscape, pointing out that major cities run by Democrats suffer from crime. "I mean, you look at New York and Chicago and L.A. and every city, all run by Democrats. Okay. Liberal, stupid Democrats," he claimed. This sentiment aimed to rally support against political opposition.
Faulkner raised concerns about the implications of giving law enforcement immunity, questioning how to balance accountability with protection. "Does that not incentivize anyone if you give everyone immunity to go after those people on forces that you know you need to deal with?" This highlights the complexity of policy discussions surrounding law enforcement.
