Pirro sounds alarm on youth murders in DC, says young people 'emboldened' to commit crimes
U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro joins 'America's Newsroom' to discuss the issue of youth crime in Washington, D.C., how progressive policies need to be reformed to bolster public safety and more.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!The first thing President Trump should do with the District of Columbia police force, which he took over on Tuesday, is fire or retire much, if not most, of its upper tier of leadership, and replace them with the most successful law enforcement professionals he can recruit to the nation’s capitol.
And, yes, President Trump can do just that, though D.C. may have to pay out some settlements if contracts are broken. (Union agreements and individual contracts do not trump Trump in this situation.)
The president will be blamed by the left for everything that happens while he is in control of the District’s "thin blue line." An example of this style of "reporting" comes from ABC News, which posted at 6:03 PM Tuesday evening: "Roughly nine hours after President Donald Trump declared a public safety emergency in Washington, D.C., and took control of the city's police force, a 33-year-old man was shot and killed in Logan Circle, less than a mile from the White House, officials said."
‘RADICAL’ DC OFFICIALS TREATED OFFICERS ‘LIKE CRAP,’ POLICE LEADER SAYS – 7 ATTACKS THAT LED TO TRUMP TAKEOVER
"The killing marked the 100th homicide in Washington, D.C., this year," the ABC story continued, "and the first since the Trump administration took over control of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), according to statistics."
The legacy media and its left-wing journo-activists will be eager for the president to fail in his attempt to restore the sense of safety that has disappeared from much of the nation’s capitol. "Failure" is going to be the "narrative" from the legacy media regardless of the facts because so much of legacy media loathes everything the president does. So, as the president will be blamed for every crime while he’s in control of the Metropolitan Police Department ("MPD"), the president should use his statutory authority over the D.C. cops to its fullest extent.
Doubt the authority of the president to remake the D.C. police from top to bottom? Then read up on the underlying law governing the District.
