NextImg:Crockett Says Police Aren’t Here to Protect You, Just File the Paperwork After

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) just said the quiet part out loud, and boy, was it loud: 

Loading a Tweet...

“Law enforcement isn’t to PREVENT crime! Law enforcement solves crime, okay? That is what they are supposed to do.”

Let that sink in. A sitting member of Congress actually believes cops are glorified janitors, here to sweep up the bloody mess after criminals have wrecked your life, not stop the crime in the first place.

This is what happens when Democrats spend years demonizing police. They’ve so thoroughly warped their worldview that “law enforcement” no longer means “enforcing the law.” It means showing up with a clipboard after the fact, maybe filing a report, maybe solving the case, if you’re lucky. Your protection? Not their concern.

Imagine telling a firefighter, “Hey, don’t worry about preventing the blaze, just show up after the house burns down and investigate what happened.” Or a doctor: “Don’t bother with prevention, just identify the cause of death.” That’s not just idiotic, it’s dangerous.

But here’s the kicker: Crockett’s worldview is exactly why Democrat-run cities look like crime scenes. Chicago, New York, San Francisco, places where policing has been stripped down to “crime response” instead of “crime prevention.” And the result? Criminals emboldened, families terrified, businesses fleeing.

Democrats call it “reimagining policing.” Normal people call it anarchy.

Police exist to deter crime as much as to solve it. Their presence alone prevents countless crimes every day. But to Crockett and her squad-adjacent pals, that’s inconvenient; it clashes with the left’s narrative of cops as the bad guys. So they rewrite the job description: protect criminals, abandon citizens.

Here’s the truth Democrats don’t want to admit: When you strip cops of their preventive role, you put regular Americans in the crosshairs. You tell mothers in bad neighborhoods, “Sorry, you’re on your own.” You tell shopkeepers watching theft skyrocket, “File a report online.” You tell families, “We’ll get to you after the fact.”

Crockett may think this is some clever hot take, but it’s really the distilled essence of Democratic governance: everything reactive, nothing preventive, and the public always left holding the bag.

Law enforcement’s job is clear: Prevent, protect, and pursue justice. If Jasmine Crockett can’t grasp that, maybe she should take a ride-along in her own district and explain to the next carjacking victim why cops are just “crime solvers,” not protectors.
