MSNBC guest blames 'cowardly' police for rising crime, claims they are 'butthurt'
Fox News
Amid rising crime across the country, one MSNBC panelist lays blame at “cowardly” police officers for being “butthurt” about criticism towards their profession.
"It is interesting this is happening at the time of defund the police," Cross noted. "Why do you think we're seeing an uptick in crime happening right now?" "This reminds me of back in the day when I was on LAPD, when officers' feelings were hurt and they had the term 'blue flu,' where officers openly talked about slow response to radio calls," Dorsey said. "And so officers, now we see across these 18,000 police departments, are butt-hurt because, you know, they can't run willy-nilly through a police department and abuse with reckless abandon. So they're stepping away from specialized units." Dorsey added that the officers are "too cowardly" to quit the department outright.More Related News
