LAPD officer denounces progressive policies: Perps see 'crime pays' as communities give up on calling cops
Fox News
A 25-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department lamented the fact that progressive policy changes and the deterioration of law and order in many cities have sent a clear message to perpetrators: “Crime pays.”
"Crime does pay right now across this country. Criminals know that they have the green light to pretty much do what they want to do because we're in an era where we coddle criminals instead of holding them accountable," Joseph said Wednesday on "The Story." "So they get away with not just thefts, but my concern is the human toll. We are seeing humans assaulted at a higher rate. Where I work, aggravated assaults and robberies occur all the time, and the criminals have no fear of consequences because they know they will get slapped on the wrist." Joseph said that in Los Angeles, he has heard from residents who have been victimized in various ways – assaulted, extorted, or robbed.More Related News
