John Kelly Blasts Critics: Shut up and Support the Men and Women on the Front Lines

RUSH EXCERPT:
KELLY: "For too long the men and women in my department have been political pawns similar to treatment suffered by law enforcement over the past few years, they are often ridiculed and insulted by public officials, frequently convicted in the court of public opinion on unfounded allegations testified to by street lawyers and street spokes persons. If lawmakers do not like the laws that we enforce, that we are charged to enforce, that we are sworn to enforce, then they should have the courage and the skill to change those laws. Otherwise they should shut up and support the men and women on the front lines."
