the bandwagon but ask how many people, how many fathers, mothers, sons and daughters were sacrificed on the woke anti-police movement. jillian: you mentioned crime numbers in the mid-90s. take us back to that time and how long did it take to get back on track? how long are we looking at? this is not going to change overnight. >> if people don't vote these politicians out it will take a long time. it took two decades to clean up the streets the last time. american police officer delivered. if we enforce the laws we have on the books, stop giving people slaps on the wrist when shooting people in the face, embrace broken windows theory we can get this back under control but it will take politicians that want to enforce the laws on the books or we will see this continue and things will get worse.
