DANA PERINO (CO-HOST): So Judge, we woke up this morning and found out that the Black Lives Matter chapter in DC had tweeted that. I would imagine that your head exploded.
JEANINE PIRRO (CO-HOST): Yeah, it's been exploding a lot in the last month. There's been a police officer shot every day in this country since the beginning of the year and we've had four cops shot in New York City in the past week. Most of them are victims of just ambushes, and the bottom line is this, you've got all of these politicians who now come out and say, you know, "We stand with the police and all this nonsense." They don't stand with the police, because they were in favor of defunding, they're in favor of eliminating bail, releasing criminals and -- and lowering criminal charges. And then all of a sudden, because the wind's kind of blown in favor of a police officer, they want to be, you know, out there with the group. Well, you know what? They ought to put their money where their mouth is.
And the bottom line in this country is until we start respecting cops, until we tell our children to respect cops, nothing is going to change, because these politicians aren't going to change. They are activists, social justice warriors. I never knew what that meant, now I know what it means. You know, they talk about white privilege, this is criminal privilege. Criminals have all the privilege.
