The Left's War On Cops

During his marathon press conference last week, Joe Biden didn't get one question on crime, even though polling shows he and the left are in deep trouble on the issue. 

The new mayor of New York City is a former police officer who promised to get tough on crime.  Biden spoke to the nation's mayors on Friday, and declared his support for the police.  He did so because polling shows rising crime is now a top concern among voters. 

All the soft on crime governors and mayors are liberals.  Believe it or not, California Gov. Gavin Newsom apologized for using the term "gangs" last week.  All the soft on crime district attorneys are liberals. 

And while Joe Biden is changing his rhetoric, his actions and policies remain the same. He is preparing a series of executive orders that will disarm, not the criminals, but the police. 

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the political left and their media allies have been demonizing police for years, but especially during the Trump presidency.  The more Donald Trump supported the police, the more the left attacked them. 

Biden has condemned law enforcement as "systemically racist."  Like Obama, Biden has routinely sided with the criminals over law enforcement. 

Meanwhile, a police officer in Washington, D.C., was shot yesterday.  A deputy sheriff was shot and killed in Houston.  And two New York City police officers were ambushed in Harlem.  One officer was killed. 

Harlem's socialist councilwoman has called the police "the biggest gang in New York City."  She has called for defunding the police and closing the jails. 

This is the world we are in.  The leftist hostility to law enforcement, which Joe Biden embraces, has led to rising crime and a shortage of police recruits.

And just in case you think I'm being overly critical, I checked the White House website and social media pages this morning.  There were statements and tweets about Ukraine, abortion and vaccines.  There was even something about the "equitable implementation of the infrastructure law." 

But I could not find any statement condemning the attacks on the brave men and women in law enforcement who keep us safe.  And that speaks volumes.
