eric and mike thank you well for more
now we're going to bring in former d.c
homicide detective ted williams he is
also
an attorney and fox news contributor so
listen ted we know that officers and
their families are aware of the risks
they sign up for
however with so many illegal and legal
guns
both easily accessible
is the job of a police officer more
dangerous now
hi i'll uh let me first if i can
offer my deepest and sincerest
condolences to the family of this 25
29 year old policewoman who made the
ultimate sacrifice
her life for the citizens of the city
of the city of chicago uh i'll tell the
answer your question
it is very much more dangerous out here
for police officers now
because police officers are out manned
and
outnumbered and they are out guns there
are numerous
guns that are on the streets just in
chicago alone
at nine by nine o'clock this morning
there was
60 over 60 people shot eight of them
are dead or it is a tragedy
or but those guns they are out there
and they are harming and they are
killing not only the citizens
but now one of our chicago
finest has been gunned down
so ted there is a gun pipeline that went
from georgia to new york city
it's been shut down what more can be
done to get
illegal guns off the streets and also
to get legal guns out of the wrong hands
well i think what you need to hear is
are for police officers in these major
metropolitan cities like chicago
to get together with the citizens in
these various communities
and even at times if they can to move
into these communities
because there are law-abiding citizens
in this in these communities
who will give police officers
information
on individuals who are on the who have
guns and i think that that is a
necessity
in trying to bring about or or
crime reduction in these various cities
i was going to ask you about community
policing if
it would make a difference and it seems
like that's what you're uh
telling me can communication ted
between law enforcement and lawmakers at
the state level
shut the revolving doors to many jails
you know keeping in mind though this is
not
to give police license to aimlessly and
wrongfully
make arrests but you just said it and i
wholeheartedly agree with what you've
just said there need to be a connection
not only with law enforcement but with
prosecutors and judges
they all must come together and they all
must work for the common good
unfortunately that does not take place
as a matter of fact
in chicago the superintendent of police
there brown
has said that he does not believe the
prosecutor kim
fox is working with police officers
and uh so you have that kind of a schism
and at some stage or another they're
gonna have to come together for the
citizens of chicago
and really quickly ted you know how do
you curb crimes
with guns at the hands of juveniles
oh it's very very difficult but what you
have to do with juveniles and
adults in these various communities i
failed is you have to put
more police officers out there not less
police officers but more they need more
police officers
in these major metropolitan cities to
flood these zones
and get these criminals out there even
the juveniles
okay ted williams with such great advice
as usual
thank you ted take care
