Trump Is Right about Crime

Trump Is Right about Crime




"Trump's speech was a bold and important shift in the prevailing discourse about policing and crime. It couldn't have represented a sharper distinction from the Obama-Clinton message, relentlessly delivered, that our criminal justice system and our nation's police are infected with racial bias. Trump is absolutely right that law and order is at stake. The elites hear "law and order" rhetoric as code words for racism. They are the ones, however, who are turning their eyes away from the black bodies piling up on the streets."
