BREAKING : Jeff Sessions Says Trump Will RESTORE RESPECT for Police Officers
In the eight years of Obama’s presidency, our country became so divided and angry.
The man who was supposed slow the rise of the oceans did a massive belly-flop when it came to bringing people together.
During his stint as president, Obama helped create and cultivate the anti-cop, domestic terror group Black Lives Matter, which has destroyed police/community relations almost to the point of no repair.
Almost…..
Thankfully, President Trump is a pro-police officer leader, as is our new Attorney General Jeff Sessions – and he says that President Trump will restore much-needed respect for our nation’s police officers.
Good news!
From Washington Examiner
Attorney General Jeff Sessions Wednesday laid out an aggressive campaign to curb a “dangerous new trend” upward in violent crime by vowing to jail criminals who use guns and end the nation’s “fashionable” acceptance of legalizing marijuana.
In Richmond, Va., where the city’s success fighting violence is in jeopardy, the nation’s top prosecutor also expressed strong support for police and pledged to help restore respect for the men and women in blue.
At an event focused on violent crime, Sessions said that a decade-long drop in murder and violence has turned into a spike up over the last two years. For example, the murder rate has jumped 10 percent, the largest increase since 1968.
My fear is that this surge in violent crime is not a ‘blip,’ but the start of a dangerous new trend. I worry that we risk losing the hard-won gains that have made America a safer and more prosperous place,” said the former Alabama senator and federal prosecutor.
His cure is strong medicine, including a pledge to reverse course on marijuana legalization which he said feeds the drug crisis in many cities and towns.
“I realize this may be an unfashionable belief in a time of growing tolerance of drug use. But too many lives are at stake to worry about being fashionable. I reject the idea that America will be a better place if marijuana is sold in every corner store,” he said in his prepared remarks.
“I am astonished to hear people suggest that we can solve our heroin crisis by legalizing marijuana — so people can trade one life-wrecking dependency for another that’s only slightly less awful. Our nation needs to say clearly once again that using drugs will destroy your life,” he added.
Sessions also said he planned to crack down on south of the border drug gangs, part of the administration’s fight against illegal immigration.
He also promised to reverse the recent trend in courts of short sentences for crimes involving guns, typically illegally owned.
