In a recent episode of ‘The Laura Ingraham,’ Joe Gamaldi, national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, voiced strong criticisms of Vice President Kamala Harris and her policies on crime and law enforcement.

Ingraham began the segment by criticizing Harris’ former role as San Francisco District Attorney and her past support of defunding the police.

“She proposed a three strike rule for drug dealers. So if you got caught selling narcotics, you’re off the hook until you got caught for the third time, And, of course, she was on the defund the police bandwagon before,” Ingraham explained.

“So it’s no surprise why Trump was the one who got the endorsement from the Fraternal Order of Police.”

Gamaldi expressed concern that if Harris were to win the presidency, the situation could worsen.

“I think it’s important to point out just how bad the problem is. We saw 378 police officers shot last year in this country. This year it’s not getting much better. We’ve already seen over 260 officers shot. That’s one officer shot every 22 hours in America,” Gamaldi explained.

“And you asked what it would be like for Kamala Harris to be president for us. It would be an unmitigated disaster because the war on cops has raged under the Biden-Harris administration.”

Ingraham and Gamaldi both emphasized that the perceived increase in criminality is linked to Harris’ policies and the broader Democratic approach to law enforcement.

“Let’s remind the public [Harris] loudly and proudly supported defunding the police, going as far as praising Mayor Garcetti for cutting $150 million from the LA police budget. She has been open in her support of abolishing ICE, of legalizing border crossing,” Gamaldi said.

“She has supported a bail reform. She supported the revolving door criminal justice system. She wanted to give drug dealers three chances before they would go to jail. I mean, these are far left radical policies that have been an unmitigated disaster for our communities.”

Ingraham agreed with Gamaldi, adding that Democrats and their policies are posing a real danger to America’s future.

“You know what a threat to democracy is? The type of criminals that they’ve allowed into this country and that are circulating now in and out of our country with ease and with absolute bravado, because they know they’re not going to get caught.”
