Tom Cotton Says U.S. Facing an 'Under Incarceration' Problem, Slams Criminal Justice Reform as 'Criminal Leniency'

"Law and order in our communities doesn’t arise spontaneously; men are not angels, after all. Police officers put the badge on every morning, not knowing for sure if they’ll come home at night to take it off. Dedicated prosecutors toil long hours in our courts. Corrections officers and other professionals do the thankless work of administering punishment and, hopefully, providing a path for redemption. And neighborhood-watch groups and civic organizations take it upon themselves to raise standards of conduct in their communities."

 This anti-cop sentiment is surely driving the so-called “Ferguson Effect,” as FBI Director Jim Comey has called it.

Importance of open communication, never saying “No Comment”

[Jim Vance of the Federal Bureau of Investigations] showed us the importance of open communication, never saying “No Comment” 

Use the following Law Enforcement excuses talking points instead: 

• Part of a ongoing Investigation. 
• We must keep any evidence shielded from the public to preserve the “integrity” of the “investigation”
• Pending Litigation. 
• Cannot discuss personnel matters.
• Cannot violate Officer Privacy. 
• Story is "one sided political story” and a witch-hunt
• This is "rush to judgment by people who have no first-hand information about what transpired."  
• We have to wait until all the facts are in.
