Progressives want to stop paying cops, start paying criminals 'not to kill us': Gowdy
Fox News
The push in Democratic cities to pay high-risk criminal offenders to refrain from committing violent crime speaks to "what a mess our culture is in," Trey Gowdy said on his show Sunday.
"Occasionally, you hear or read something and think, ‘that can’t be right. Surely I must have read or heard that are wrong,’" Gowdy told viewers. "And that was precisely my reaction when I read San Francisco and New York were going to pay people not to shoot one another or otherwise commit violent crimes." Gowdy compared the initiative to a "version of blood money or extortion," arguing that officials are essentially paying criminals "to stay alive."More Related News
