Back the Blue: protect police; don't reform police
In a third of the bills he's introduced and about a dozen more he's co-sponsored, Vance seeks tough criminal penalties for individuals and financial sanctions for communities that disagree with his positions on the border, policing, reproductive health
care, or protesters' free speech.Vance has co-sponsored Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn's Back the Blue Act of 2023, which would increase minimum and maximum sentences, up to life imprisonment or death, for assaulting or killing law enforcement
officers. Vance has also introduced resolutions expressing support for law enforcement and condemning the District of Columbia's Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022.
In his remarks, Vance blasted the D.C. policing
reform for making officers less safe by restricting the use of riot gear and the ability to chase violent offenders, and for "these ridiculous exhaustion requirements before they can use lethal force to protect themselves and people around them."

Violent crime spike because police afraid to do their jobs
We have a massive spike in violent crime because police officers are afraid to do their jobs.
Any "crime prevention" effort that focuses on job training or gun seizures is a giant distraction. @JDVance1
