Trump Addresses Law Enforcement Concerns in North Carolina

In North Carolina, former President Donald Trump addressed the Fraternal Order of Police, voicing concerns that law enforcement is under increased threat due to rising crime rates. He discussed the implications of current Democrat policies, accusing them of enabling crime while promoting his own record on law enforcement. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis supported Trump’s stance, arguing that law and order must be prioritized in the upcoming elections. She emphasized the challenges law enforcement faces, particularly in New York City, where overwhelming crime statistics have led to the implementation of panic buttons in major retailers. Malliotakis criticized New York Governor Kathy Hochul for insufficient action against crime, insisting that repealing certain bail laws and sanctuary policies would enhance safety. She highlighted the significant number of retail theft complaints in New York and informed viewers of the difficulties in obtaining accurate crime data, especially regarding crimes committed by migrants. Malliotakis expressed frustration over data transparency issues with the NYPD, suggesting that a lack of clarity on crime statistics hinders public understanding. The representatives' remarks emphasized the importance of law enforcement support and maintaining public safety as key issues leading up to the elections.
