"SNIP..........


First, let’s start with Sessions’s central premise: across the country, violent crime is back with a vengeance. Sessions has made the claim several times since taking office:

“All of us who work in law enforcement want to keep people safe. That is the heart of our jobs; it is what drives us every day. So we are all disturbed to learn that violent crime is on the rise in America, especially in our cities. And that is what I want to talk about with you today.” (March 15)

“As you have experienced right here in Memphis, violent crime is on the rise in America.” (May 25)

“As all of you know first-hand, our nation’s violent crime rate is rising. In many of our urban areas, this increase is staggering.” (June 20)

2. Sessions, YOU are staggering.

3. He is stageing reality so he can swoop in and create more felons who can't vote.

4. Violent crime is still at its lowest rate in decades.

This has been reported repeatedly for the past few years. The perception is crime is high because crime is sensationalized, crime drama and true crime stories remain a major source of entertainment in this country and the internet allows for the sharing of information real-time about regional issues that may not have been shared even a decade ago.

I would think the USAF would recognize this fact not to mention he has access to FBI statistics which were referenced in my title.

5. Translation....

White right wing folks, get out there and join the violence. Don't miss any of the fun.

And we need to give more military invasion gear to cops, secutity guards, "militias," to stop the brown and black people from...oh wait....

9. He's Whipping the Reichwing Idiots into a Frenzy

It's Sessions and his kind that will cause the next terror attack. Then PINO will lie that both sides are bad.

The inmates are running the asylum.
