Law
and order. Before it was the name of an
immensely popular TV crime show, it was a concept that enjoyed broad bipartisan
political support. And for good reason:
For years, American cities and other communities suffered from surging violence,
death and destruction, usually driven by drug-related criminal activity.
In
1994, then-President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, worked with legislators on both
sides of the aisle to protect public safety. In an exchange yesterday sparked
by protesters associated with the George Soros-funded, proto-insurgency known
as “Black Lives Matters,” Mr. Clinton provided a spirited – and long overdue –
defense of that legislation.
He pointed out that the law
protected African-Americans, as well as others, telling the agitators, “You're
defending the people who killed the lives you say matter.”
We all still need law and order.
