“Today, the American people have to focus on something else, which is the sacrifice and the service that is given by our law enforcement officers. And they have to start showing, more than they do, the respect and support that law enforcement deserves,” Barr said in pointed remarks delivered at a Justice Department ceremony to honor police officers. Barr added that “if communities don’t give that support and respect, they might find themselves without the police protection they need.”
"Thus does the Attorney General of the United States declare that local law enforcement functions like a protection racket, and let’s not pretend we don’t know what “communities” he’s talking about."
