One of the first and primary duties of the government is to promote the safety and well being of its citizens. I stand with our great men and women in law enforcement and share our mutual concern for accountability. The occurrence of the protests over the past two years has cost our nation over $2 billion in damages and disproportionately harmed minority businesses and communities. Many have been killed and thousands have been injured. The failed policy to defund the police has resulted in double digit and in some cases triple digit spikes in violent crimes and homicides. Who has been most harmed? Again, minority communities have been disproportionately harmed. The Rule Of Law matters. Justice matters. This means we do not take matters into our own hands or use the violent masses to achieve our desires. Everyone has a fundamental right to be safe and secure and this is why I firmly want to stand with you and for you to keep you safe and uphold the Rule of Law and justice.
