Crockett Slammed for Saying Police Don't Exist to Prevent Crime

  • Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, stated on the 'Grounded' podcast that law enforcement's role is to solve crimes, not to prevent them, which sparked backlash on social media.
  • Critics, including law enforcement veteran Deon Joseph, disagreed, emphasizing that law enforcement aims to prevent crime, not just respond to it.
  • Crockett's comments came as she criticized the use of federal law enforcement during the Trump administration, labeling it as hostile toward citizens.
  • Conservative accounts and commentators reacted strongly to her statements, with some calling them 'one of the dumbest statements ever made'.
