It has been a deadly week for police officers across the country. Five officers were killed, and four more were wounded in 72 hours. The liberal politicians, leftist community leaders, and the liberal news media have created an anti-police atmosphere where criminals are excused because of income and race, laws are ignored, and police are vilified.
In San Antonio, Democrats, the liberal news media, and Marxist community leaders don’t want to defund the police openly. Instead, they want to demoralize, disarm, and sue them into poverty.
Public safety is NOT about race. It’s about personal behavior. When you excuse, tolerate, and even justify anti-social behavior because of race, income, or any reason, you get more and worse.
Voters must elect state and local officials who support law and order and local law enforcement. Citizens must step up to protect the people who protect them.
