What do the years of 2021 to 2023 all have in common? The answer is all those years fall under Biden. One of the numerous horrors of the mentally impaired Biden Administration was the complete emasculation of law enforcement. Even more sinister was the Biden Administration’s blessing, through multiple narratives and information channels, it was ok to attack and obstruct law enforcement. Biden proudly signed an Executive Order in 2022 titled, “Advancing Effective, Accountable Policing, and Criminal Justice Practices to Enhance Public Trust and Public Safety”. What was Biden’s desired outcome from this EO, “It is therefore the policy of my Administration to increase public trust and enhance public safety and security by encouraging equitable and community-oriented policing. We must commit to new practices in law enforcement recruitment, hiring, promotion, and retention, as well as training, oversight, and accountability. Insufficient resources, including those dedicated to support officer wellness—needed more than ever as officers confront rising crime and the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic—jeopardize the law enforcement community’s ability to build and retain a highly qualified and diverse professional workforce.”
