2024 MD Senate race: on Crime

Robin Ficker: The police should be Officer Friendly with constituents

Well, you know, it's the governor's job to see that people are safe. And we want police that are doing that. The police should be Officer Friendly, treat the constituents as they would their brother or sister. But, of course, if a criminal is going to act violently, we're not going to put up with that. And if you want to act violently--go out into the boxing ring or go and play football. But don't bring a gun with you and try to hold up an innocent person.
