C'mone Wingo, retired Dallas police officer, Mike Solan, Seattle Police Officers Guild president, and Dr. Oscar Odom, former NYPD detective, on DOJ reviewing funding for NYC, Portland and Seattle.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Did you hear about this?
Did you hear about this
labeling New York, city, Portland
and Seattle anarchist
jurisdictions now reviewing
their federal funding
attorney General Bill Barr,
explaining quote when state
and local leaders impede their
own law enforcement officers and
agencies from doing their jobs?
It endangers innocent citizens
who deserve to be protected,
including those trying to
peacefully assem being and
protest.
We cannot allow federal tax
dollars to be wasted when the
safety of the citizenry hangs in
the balance
here to react. Is Seattle, police
officers Guild MIKE Sloan, former
Nypd, detective, Oscar Odom and C
Moneysomalian Wingo.
This is not okay, we tried
federal troops, it
got a bad reaction locally,
they pulled the federal agents out
and now this is another message,
its funny that a dot g Barr has
stated that the dollars would be
wasted because businesses arent
being protected, and now these
cities are crying. This is so
unfair.
So how unfair is it?
You are wanting to defund the
police departments in your
cities.
You know you are allowing
people to be murdered, raped,
robbed on the streets and
pulling the police officers
back.
I think its two fold, its bad
on one hand and good on the
other.
Who is going to really you know?
Who is it really going to help?
If do you this
its really a hard thing to look
at,
I tell you whats, really unfair
is to keep the police away when
people are needing help.
Brian, absolutely
Dr Odom, the Nypd basically
told everybody to stand down.
Let everyone blow off steam took
a billion dollars out of the
budget,
and then when it comes to
actually policing
they have cut the academy.
Why should the president step
up?
He definitely should step up
to make sure safety public.
Apparently they are not reading
the data murder gone up last
year at this point two hundred and nineteen murders
as compared to three hundred and twenty one at this
point, which would also the
whole year
he needs to step and make sure
there is some sort of
accountability.
There is some sort of
mismanagement in the budget
because they are talking about
defund and the crime is going up
exponentially.
Therefore they are not reading
the data
and the resolving justice system
is also an issue.
People talk about revolving door,
need incarcerate and slash or
rehabilitate
look at the numbers going up.
Look at the record of the people
that you are arresting.
They are not committing crimes
because they lost their job.
They are not stealing food.
They need to look at that.
Brian CEO wrote a letter hey
MR mayor. We want to come back,
you need to clean up the streets
because you stopped picking up
sanitation and crack counsel on
time.
He said im out of money.
I have never seen such
leadership.
Excuse me check that. I saw the
lack of leadership in Seattle
MIKE Sloane thats. Your cue
is that sent to cities like
yours
absolutely is it puts
officials on notice?
No more of this nonsense in
particular,
if you dont have the political
will power to enforce the rule
of law, everybody suffers
and its quite clear that this
reasonable community in Seattle
want public safety,
because we are not supported
Ritz now,
thats. Why we stop defunding dot com
right now,
go to our petition at stop.
Defunding dot com
we have over one hundred and eighty thousand signatures,
Brian unbelievable.
Now the council is going to
vote today, whether they will
veto or sustain the veto by the
mayor.
Anybody that supports defund is
nonsensical and they are not
looking for solution.
Brian. I want to bring this to
you cmone. If I can. This is the
attorney general of New York
reading about this anarchist
legislation and withholding of
funds. James New York attorney
general,
listen to what she said is
behind this.
The president in the past has
indicated he would punish New
York, for whatever reason it
SAR buy, temporary it is
capricious.
It may not even happen.
This president is doing nothing
more than Saber rat ling
rat ling to his base, using words
and phrases that, unfortunately,
are filled with racial
overtones.
Brian, do you sense racial
overtones?
If you see the anarchists most
of them are white.
There is a story about all these
rich kids going down and
creating chaos.
I didnt see it, but am I missing
something?
No, there is no racial
overtone.
You talk about punishment
punishment than taking all this
money,
hundreds of billions and
millions of dollars from the New
York City, police budget people
are leaving New York and they
should
because this system that they
have set up is not working. It it
a bust.
Now you want to call it racial
and pull the race card. It
has nothing to do with race.
This is all about being safe,
defenderring the land and
making sure your citizens are
safe,
which New York is not being able
to do because they are taking
all the money.
They are defunding their police
department,
Brian yeah,
Dr Odom. The thing is a lot of
the working class communities,
a lots of inner city
communities. They are the ones
that need the policing, so they
can go about their lives.
They are being hurt the most
most, definitely
and thats who they are hurting
and they are talking about any
want to help the community.
If you want to help the
community, you put the police
officers out there,
you fund them,
allow them to do their jobs, so
people can walk around safely.
Have you these few people
uprising and do all of this
nonsense and causing problems
for people, though live in the
community?
Thats? Why murder and robbery
and shooting is up,
like I said, dead bodies, dont
lie.
This is the wild Wild West
Brian MIKE it started with you
guys.
Is the message beginning to get
sent even to those way on the
left that you need to have law
and order in order to have
anybodys agenda fulfilled
absolutely
the biggest supporter of our
first amendment rights are
police officers
the right to peaceful assembly?
Finally, I think the counsel is
walking back record of
nonsensical defund message.
Clearly, people are seeing that
if you do not have rule of
order, you do not support the
police officer that defend and
protect all of us regardless. If
you support the police or not,
then we are all in big trouble
and the law enforcement
profession is being used
politically to divide us for
political power. Clearly, for this
November election,
we must have the reasonable
community stand up and support
police. Now, more than ever,
please go to stop defunding dot com,
Brian. They say the biggest
surprise of this election people
talk about suburban women.
They talk about the hispanic
vote.
They should be looking at the
police vote,
seven hundred thousand active retired and their
families,
one party supporting them,
the other vilifying them.
That could turn this election
and bottom line is if you care
about law and order, I think we
should really back the blue, and
I think that if you want to
expand the academy you want to
finance, you want to talk about
different techniques, thats,
where we were heading.
