Bongino: Defunding Police ‘Complete Insanity ... Single Most Catastrophic Public Policy Decision’

EXCERPT:

BONGINO: "You know, Brian, if this goes through, this defund the police abomination, it will be — and this is not hyperbolic — the single most catastrophic deadly public policy decision we have seen in the modern history of the United States. Make absolutely no mistake about it. People will die. Real people. Not Hollywood nonsense. Not movie types. Real people, kids, teenagers and adults will die. Think about the continuum from low-level property crime to murderers and terrorists, the message that sends to all of them go. From the low end first. Why even bother paying the train fair?Jump in the turnstile, just get rid of the turnstile. Who is going to pay? Oh no, they will pay because they are going to do the right thing. Really? Are you sure about that? Most people are just going to walk right through. What kind of a message do you think this sends to a murderer or a terrorist or a gang member or a drug dealer slinging crack on the corner of a neighborhood? Now that the police are gone, do you think they'll go to the local social worker? Listen, God bless social workers. As I said this weekend on 'Fox & Friends' and I mean it, they do great work. They are entirely, completely, 1,000% unprepared to go face to face with a murderer or a terrorist and try to use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to talk them out of killing people. Brian, this is complete insanity.”
