Democratic policies are responsible for the national surge in crime and deadly ambushes of officers, a top police union official said, warning that frequent release of violent offenders and new restrictions on law enforcement are certain to make matters worse.
"I would say that most police officers don't believe that Joe Biden is on their side," Fraternal Order of Police National Vice President Joe Gamaldi told the "Just the News, Not Noise" TV show on Wednesday.
He criticized Democratic policies from the national stage down to the local level for harming and hampering officers.
Gamaldi, a Houston police sergeant, especially blasted Chicago's new rule, instituted by Democratic Mayor Lori Lightfoot, that prohibits officers from chasing down suspects involved in misdemeanors.
"Just when I think that they can't coddle criminals any more than they do, they come out with a policy like this. Just when I think they can't neuter our ability to enforce the law, they come out with something like this," Gamaldi said, adding that it sends a clear message to criminals "that all you have to do is run from the police and we're not going to chase you."
Gamaldi explained that the criminal justice policies in blue-ran cities ultimately harm minority communities the most.
"When you have these people pushing these horrific policies, they don't give a damn about the community. It's agenda over people," he told editor-in-chief John Solomon and co-host Amanda Head.
He blasted the cities with record-murder rates, New York, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia. Line-of-duty police officer deaths hit a record high in 2021, with ambush-style attacks up 115% from 2020.
Gamaldi specifically singled out Los Angeles, where District Attorney George Gascon came under fire recently after two officers were ambushed and slain in broad daylight by a man who was out on probation for felony firearm possession.
"Our communities are fed up. They're pissed off. They want safe streets," Gamaldi said, stressing that citizens will hold soft-on-crime politicians "accountable at the ballot box," shown by how Gascon is currently facing a recall.
The union leader’s broadside came the same day former Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan warned about the political liabilities of Democrat border policies.
Morgan, who served under both the Trump and Obama administrations, told the "John Solomon Reports" podcast on Wednesday that he is not just concerned about the Biden administration's "wide open" border policies empowering criminal drug cartels.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued a ruling in Vega V Tekoh, a case involving the administration of Miranda rights, with the court ruling that a suspect’s words or statements can be used in court regardless of their Miranda rights.
For background, these are the facts of the case in question:
Terence Tekoh worked as a patient transporter in a hospital in Los Angeles. After a patient accused him of sexual assault, hospital staff reported the allegation to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. Deputy Carlos Vega went to the hospital to ask Tekoh questions and take Tekoh’s statement. Although the parties described vastly different accounts of the nature of the interaction between Tekoh and Vega, it is undisputed that Vega did not advise Tekoh of his Miranda rights before questioning him or taking his statement.
Tekoh was arrested and charged in California state court, but a jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Following the acquittal on the criminal charge, Tekoh sued Vega, alleging that Vega violated Tekoh’s Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination by taking his statement without first advising him of his Miranda rights.

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — The West should not underestimate Russia’s military capabilities in Ukraine, Estonia’s leader told The Associated Press, saying that as the war enters its fifth month, Moscow’s forces are in it for the long haul.
Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said in an interview Wednesday that Europe should ensure that those committing war crimes and attempted genocide are prosecuted, noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin escaped punishment for annexing the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and supporting an insurgency in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region that killed over 14,000 people even before this year’s war began.
“I’ve heard talks that, you know, there is no threat anymore because they have exhausted themselves. No, they haven’t,” she said of the Russian military, which failed to take Kyiv in the early stages of the war and is now concentrating its firepower in the east.
“They have plenty of troops still who can come (to fight) — They are not counting the lives that they are losing. They are not counting the artillery that they are losing there. So I don’t think that we should underestimate them in the longer term to still keep this up,” Kallas said, despite the low morale and corruption troubling Moscow’s forces.

Sometimes all it takes is removing one variable, to turn a negitive into a positive.
