Dear Editor,
The Democrat Party seems comfortable taking the wind out of the sails of the men and women in our venerable law enforcement ranks. Rather than simply maintaining law and order and arresting those who break the law, they are ordered to deviate from what is best for our citizens, or are rendered helpless/ineffective by the perpetual release of violent criminals.
Portland OR, Seattle WA, Chicago IL, Minneapolis MN, were cities where businesses were destroyed and people were killed, police were attacked and looting and burnings went unchecked, in some cases for months. BLM & Antifa were given a pass on criminal activity, police being ordered to “stand down” = do nothing, while business owners watched their shops be ravaged and looted at will. The death of George Floyd, which sparked justifiable protests, was allowed to grow into real and dangerous protracted riots. These are Democrat-run cities.
Multi-billionaire George Soros money-backed campaigns of Democrat attorneys have made our cities dangerous to live in.
Soros $ elected Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon has essentially decriminalized many crimes and promoted no-cash bail – kind of a catch-and-release system. The result is a sharp increase in homicides, smash-and-grab robberies, violent crime, and auto thefts. Also skyrocketing crimes committed by an increasing population of homeless persons. There is an exodus of businesses and families from California. Several businesses closed shop after being victim to these smash-and-grab robberies, having been cleaned out. In California, one can steal up to $950 with little fear of being arrested or prosecuted. Who wants to open a business in California?
Cook County [Chicago] State Attorney Kim Foxx was elected in 2020 with Soros $ given to a PAC that supports Democrats only. Homicides are at their highest count since 1994. Chicago is a Democrat stronghold.
In 2018 Larry Krasner was elected DA of Philadelphia with Soros backed $. The murder rate has increased 101% since then due to non-prosecution directives. Over 250 of 340 lawyers in the employ of Krasner have left him in the past five years due to his liberal policies. Philadelphia is a Democrat stronghold. The scenarios depicted represent only a small percentage of Soros-backed rebels whose job is to destroy our democracy.
Imagine being a law enforcement officer knowing that you are being thwarted at every turn by Democrat mayors and DAs, witnessing your fellow citizens preyed on by repeat violent criminals being released over and over again. And these same Democrats voted to “defund the police”…?!?
Closer to home, Loudon County Commonwealth Attorney Buta Biberaj, who received >$600,000 of Soros-backed $ for her campaign, is embroiled in conflict of interests and refuses to recuse herself in the recall effort of the School Board Chair Brenda Sheridan. Sheridan stifles comments at board meetings of parents who object to Critical Race Theory and Transgender crap being taught to their children. Sheridan is in the middle of the policy allowing a student to use the bathroom of their “preferred pronoun choice” which led to one boy [claiming to be a female] sexually assaulting two different girls in two different schools in this Democrat-controlled county.
Biden has joined the Loudon County fray by having these parents considered as “domestic terrorists”, directing Attorney General Merrick Garland to have the FBI and Attorneys General investigate the concerned parents who are challenging the School Board to make corrections in policy. Biden knee-jerk reacted to a (since rescinded) letter from the National School Boards Association stating there were “threats and acts of violence” in the Loudon meetings that might be considered “domestic terrorism”. The Democrats do not want tax-paying parents to be involved in their children’s curriculum? The Federal Government gets involved with suppressing free speech at a local school board meeting by intimidating parents??? The FBI now mimics the KGB in Russia.
According to a Trafalgar Group survey taken in late February, 65% of United States Democrat voters approved of how Prime Minister Trudeau used the Emergency Act to suppress the legal protest of the Canadian truckers Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. Truckers simply wanted the country-ruining mandates to end so they can resume normal life in Canada. Quoting from a 2/22/22 Daily Wire article by Tim Pearce, “Under the Emergencies Act, federal authorities went after the bank accounts and other financial assets of anybody even tangentially involved in the protest. Trudeau’s government threatened that any vehicle involved in the protest could lose its insurance. The bank accounts of protesters or anyone suspected of aiding the protesters could be frozen without a court order or due process.” This is communism. Trudeau had publicly labeled the truckers as “anti-vaxxers and Nazis”, an open lie [spouted by their compliant media] to gain public approval of his upcoming totalitarian edicts. All Trudeau had to do was follow the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan & Alberta in their announcements to end vaccine passports, not arrest peaceful protestors and freeze their assets. Hundreds of law enforcement personnel wore riot gear and were turned against their own countrymen in a display of raw totalitarian power.
There is much to be said about the duplicity forced upon our law enforcement officers and FBI by Democrats during the so-called “insurrection” of January 6, 2020. This is why the FBI is NOT releasing much of the incriminating videotape footage of that days activities.
Pray for our own law enforcement officers that they are never turned against their constituents by any Democrat Party-controlled government, local or otherwise. Without their help, we have no safe society.
