Trump says ‘1 rough hour’ of policing would end crime

Former President Trump suggested Sunday that one “rough hour” of policing would end crime, as he called for law enforcement to be freed up to “do their job” without restrictions.

“See, we have to let the police do their job. And if they have to be extraordinarily rough—” Trump said at a rally in Erie, Pa., trailing off and claiming there are cases of criminals walking out of department stores with large appliances on their backs.

“And the police aren’t allowed to do their job. They’re told if you do anything, you’re going to lose your pension; you’re going to lose your family, your house, your car. What the hell is going on?” Trump continued. “They’re not allowed to do it, because the liberal left won’t let them do it. The liberal left wants to destroy them.”

“One rough hour — and I mean real rough — the word will get out, and it will end immediately, end immediately. You know, it will end immediately,” he said.

Trump campaign officials said the former president was not putting forward a serious policy proposal but was speaking more broadly about letting police crack down on crime.
