Brian back with a first alert
Brian back with a first alert,
two deputies in LOS Angeles now
expected to survive after being
shot in the head. Ambush caught
on camera
sheriffs office says protesters
then blocked the entrance and
exit at the hospital where the
deputies were taken. Yelling we
hope they die
here to react. Is our panel of
police Chiefs from New Jersey,
Manchester Township Police, Chief
LISA Parker
Miami Police, Chief, Georgia and
James Craig?
We will start with you chief
Craig, your reaction to this
series of events.
I dont remember ever hearing
the emergency room blocked and a
hospital being protested in
realtime.
You know Brian. This is
absolutely a new lowsidely im,
not surprised.
There are some anarchist
movement, thats spew hate.
They incite violence
now taken to a level blocking
emergency entrances to a
hospital
for others that might need
immediately.
I have not seen it in forty four years
in this business
Brian. How does this happen?
How is there not a fear of
killing a police officer and
getting caught Jorge?
You know I think people are
rationalizing everything
and when you think about what
happened there in l dot a county,
the fact that you have two
officers sitting in a car and
ambushed for no reason other
than wearing a uniform
and show up at the hospital we
hope you die. While you block off
the entrance to the hospital
depriving people of medical
services, it is such lack of
humanity
by the way that has nothing to
do with politics or you seeking
social justice or reforms,
thats, just hate being exhibited,
and honestly it should be
denounced by everyone,
Brian, I think part of the
problem Chief Parker Over in
Miami, but you might have it
there,
but definitely in LOS Angeles.
You cut one hundred and fifty dollars million out of the
budget, and you indicate that a
lot of these police officer
murdermurderers you are setting
table and putting gasoline on
the fire
thats a good point. Brian.
First and foremost, I want to
send prayers to the family of
the deputies,
good news to hear that they are
doing well.
Thats first and foremost,
im sure that that PD out there
has shaken it to its core.
We felt it in New Jersey as
well,
and when you talk about
defunding or just reducing
police budgets, you cant expect
police officers to be everywhere
all the time doing everything
again look at this.
We are over one hundred days of rioting.
When do we say enough is enough?
When do we? Let businesses go
back to doing business?
Think about just even here in
New York City,
our families, we would have been
in New York multiple times
we dont go to New York now, and
I wouldnt suggest anybody going
there. Its hurting businesses,
people are leaving.
When does America say enough? Is
enough
and my thoughts its in the
polls in November
Brian remember, over one hundred ceos
wrote a letter to the mayor of
New York and said clean up the
city. Sanitation is down
its a mess
and then make it crime free the
way it was,
and the mayors answer was: oh,
we dont have enough money.
We dont have enough money.
Unbelievable lets go to chief
Craig,
I see after this happened. They
went over to the protest,
enkampement and immediately
cleaned it out.
As horrific as this is.
Is this an opportunity for the
LAPD to get back on the offense?
Absolutely
I spent twenty eight years
its horrible with the stories I
hear about just in some
instances, inaction
there each and every day,
finance a great city
to see this happen is so
unacceptable.
I like what LISA says
when you talk about understand
one
community here in Detroit has
spoken loudly.
They dont want it here.
They some of these protesters to
leave
not all of them.
We have had over one hundred days by
and large most of it has been
peaceful,
but there have been instances
where they became aggressive.
This must end and we have to
stand together,
link arm in arm and say these
are our city streets.
This is our home
its time for this to end
Brian chief, you want the
protests to end over one hundred days Da
Portland.
Do you know what I heard we are
going to stop allowing the men
and women to use tear gas
is that the help you need
yeah?
I have seen that, and I know that
Jim had to deal with that up in
Michigan, where they literally
passed legislation, or rather an
injunction saying you cant use
shields, tear gas. I think what
people dont realize is the very
reason why you have those tools
is to defend yourself number one,
but really so you dont have to
put your hands on someone and
potentially harm them.
The idea is that you can allow
people to disperse peacefully
without having that contact.
Yet we keep seeing people
wanting to push the other way.
It gets worse.
People get more aggressively and
get more brazen and break more
laws, and somehow the response to
that is lets be more lax.
I dont know what the electeds
are thinking.
Brian, do you know what the
trend is, because the police have
been disempowered because the
protesters are blowing off
steam. People are taking this
into their own hands
and they are upset, maybe
sometimes trump supporters or
others who are for law and order
are coming in, because the cops
arent allowed to do their job.
We are seeing that in Portland
and Seattle.
Well, I support again what
all the chiefs on the panel have
said,
and particularly just across the
nation,
its time to take our cities
back
its time to stand up
its time for Silent America,
the silent majority to speak up,
to stand up and to support
local law enforcement.
Brian right
to help you men and
women not to do it themselves,
thats clear we dont want a
Charles Bronson situation,
thats correct
Brian thanks. So much for your
insight.
I wish it was under better
terms.
Maybe this is a turning point to.
