Watters on Minneapolis voters deciding not to replace police department: "This is why people hate politicians"

"The Five" co-hosts sounded off Wednesday on Minneapolis voters' decision not to replace the city's police department with a public safety force.

"I think that Minneapolis sent a message nationally," Judge Jeanine Pirro said. "…The inner city doesn't want the police to be defunded and the number reduced. And instead, what we have are people like Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison saying, 'Let's get rid of the police.' No, the people don't want that."

The "Justice with Judge Jeanine" host said the city's police department is down approximately 250 officers while crime is up and citizens resist no-cash bail. As people are killed and become "victims of violent crime," they tell Democrats, "You're not getting rid of the police, no matter what your progressive agenda nonsense is," the judge said.
