Since becoming Donald Trump's attorney general, Bill Barr has given several speeches to police organizations. This is not unusual for someone in his position, but Barr's comments have often been controversial. Last December he made the outrageous comment that "communities" have to "start showing more than they do the respect and support that law enforcement deserves and if communities don't give that respect, they might find themselves without the protection they need."

He gets his power by sucking off the top dog. Anyone looking for a protector of the Constitution would have tossed Barr into the dumpster without hesitation. But Barr signaled that he'd eat Trumpy-boy's shit to gain power. That's why he was hired.
