AG Barr ushers back in Reagan era of the war on freedom

[SmarterthanYou]

AG Barr said there must be 'zero tolerance for resisting police'

Attorney General William Barr gave a heated speech about being tough on crime to the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) this week.

FOP is the US' largest fraternal police organization.

After praising the bravery of police officers, Barr went on to say public figures in the media and elsewhere should "underscore the need to 'Comply first, and, if warranted, complain later.'"

"And those who resist must be prosecuted for that crime," Barr added. "We must have zero tolerance for resisting police. This will save lives."

His rhetoric comes when law enforcement is under heightened scrutiny in the US over allegations of systemic brutality and bigotry in some communities.

Barr also singled out local prosecutors who he criticized for being "social justice reformers" and soft on crime.

"To my mind, there is no more noble profession than serving as a police officer," Barr said. "You put your own life and well-being on the line to protect your communities."

He added: "Your families spend anxious nights, so we can sleep in peace. You never know what your day may bring - what uncertainty, danger, or threat you might face. But you still get up, put on your uniform and badge, kiss your loved ones, and head out to face whatever risks might come your way."

But Barr went on to say that police officers are "fighting a different type of war ... an unrelenting, never-ending fight against criminal predators in our society."

"Even in a healthy society, violence, lawlessness, and predation lie just below the surface," the attorney general said. "In the final analysis, what stands between chaos and carnage on the one hand, and the civilized and tranquil society we all yearn for is the thin blue line of law enforcement. You are the ones manning the ramparts - day in, and day out."

After telling the crowd that "we need to get back to basics," Barr said that public figures in the media and elsewhere should "underscore the need to 'Comply first, and, if warranted, complain later.'"

"This will make everyone safe - the police, suspects, and the community at large," he said. "And those who resist must be prosecuted for that crime. We must have zero tolerance for resisting police. This will save lives."

Barr's comments come at a time when the police are under heightened scrutiny in the US on several fronts. In particular, the law enforcement community has faced criticism over allegations of systemic brutality and bigotry in some communities.

I cringe every time I hear the phrase "zero tolerance" no matter how well intentioned the policy may be.

This is merely lip service, we all know that Barr is Trump's corrupt and lackey Attorney General.

so you think Barr is actually encouraging lawless violence against law enforcement?

Don't take it seriously, this is just sweet talk, because Barr is under pressure to do something after the mass shoots by Trump's constituents.

As the racist Brown Supremacists of the Left continue to murder LEOs when they are not butchering each other....

so you think Barr is actually encouraging lawless violence against law enforcement?

I didn't say that Barr is encouraging lawless, but I'm am saying that Barr is shielding Trump from Trump's lawless activities.

Barr is a political hack and it is a political speech, he don't give a rat's ass about any of it but he is happy to promote that outlook cause it reinforces a tough guy image that the Trumpkins love

Not a fan of behaviorism? Not always wrong, but usually applied inappropriately

[Gonzomin]

so you think Barr is actually encouraging lawless violence against law enforcement?

No. He is justifying using power and violence on those who stand up to the overzealous police. The implication is people should mindlessly obey whatever the law enforcement says for them to do. Just eliminate the rights of the people and install a police state.

All you did was to copy and paste some lines from a news site, which caused me to missed your point, so it appears that you're the one preaching lawlessness.

[Getin the ring]

Don't take it seriously, this is just sweet talk, because Barr is under pressure to do something after the mass shoots by Trump's constituents.

what would amaze me is if you ever had an opinion on a subject, instead of your default "Trump is bad" response.
you're an idiot

on topic
Barr is echoing what most of law abiding, self reliant America is thinking, there is a reason we discipline our children, and reasons why they misbehave when that discipline is not there.
this carries over into later years in life, when you tolerate bad behavior through making excuses, or blaming someone else, or no consequences, you are encouraging the bad behavior.
"we need to get back to basics" to summarize BArr's comments.

Instead of calling for prison reform, or yelling racial profiling, why don't we call it like it is and get "back to basics"

law abiding citizens want law and order, it is paramount to a peaceful society, we don't care if you are black white brown or yellow, you break the law, you pay the price,

if the prison population is disproportionately of color, maybe there's a reason that has nothing to do with racism
