On December 18, 2021, former President Donald Trump spoke to Fox News about the recent increase in retail crime. He suggested a dramatic and strong approach as a solution, stating there should be “one really violent day” where police address the problem head-on.
His exact words read, “If they allowed the police to do their job [there would be] one really violent day – everything’s coming back to normal. Because they’re not allowed to do that, the police aren’t allowed to do their job.”
This statement has stirred debates about how law enforcement should address the problem of retail theft. Some argue that it’s a call for harsher and more aggressive police measures, while others believe it merely emphasizes stricter law enforcement, not brutal or violent methods.
Please note that these sentiments are opinions and do not necessarily indicate the best or most effective way to handle the problem of retail crime, as they could potentially lead to other issues in the justice system and society.
