CRIME/POLICE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “There won’t be defunding. There won’t be dismantling of our police. And there’s not going to be any disbanding of our police. Our police have been letting us live in peace.
We want to make sure we don’t have any bad actors in there. And sometimes you’ll see some horrible things, like we witnessed recently. But 99 — I say 99.9, but let’s go with 99 percent of them are great, great people. And they’ve done jobs that are record setting. Record setting. So our crime statistics are at a level that they haven’t been at.”
-Donald Trump, “Remarks by President Trump and Vice President Pence in a Roundtable with Law Enforcement,” whitehouse.gov, June 8, 2020
