Come on news. News radio 1000 FM 97 7. You're information station. According to ABC's exit polls on election night, voters top concern was inflation followed by abortion, so how much of a role did crime play in getting voters to the polls? ABC's Daria all being spoke with ABC News contributor and former FBI agent Brad Garrett. Brad, if you had to go by political ads and go by what voters have said during the polls and whatnot. It's that one party was saying more often than not that they were going to address the problem of crime and voters might not have bought that. If you look at how things turned out on Tuesday, we didn't see that big red wave that a lot of pundits said we would. So what do you think happened? What's interesting about the whole crime issue is that you had a number of Republicans talk about that the Democrats are too quote unquote soft on crime, but I'm the Law & Order person or whatever term they use. And I'll get that crime rate down. And you know, and people who do what I do, we just sort of roll our eyes like, really? What are you going to do with the federal level? You're going to get in the police car and drive around your neighborhood looking for bad people. I mean, they have really no effect or bearing on local crime that happens day in and day out. Now, do federal agents get involved in local cases as a task force? Sure they do. I've worked hundreds of local homicides, but that doesn't really do anything about the crime, the security today tomorrow, the next day. It really goes boils down to the local entities that have to take care of that. Is it fair to say that politicians put this issue on the ballot, especially because they want to appeal to voters emotions more really than they do, voters common sense? Clearly, by telling people that a crime is out of control, which is not, and B, I can do something about it, which you can't. They can race the fear factor. And that's obviously a key component of getting our swaying people is you make them fearful. A lot of Republican folks, in particular, the former president is really good of instilling fear in people if things aren't done or a certain way or certain people aren't in office, basically the world is going to end. So it's kind of bad all the way around. But it seems to be something that seems to work every election cycle, and I don't expect it to go away. So how could these people who we just put into office or who we sent back to Washington for a few more years, what can they do to help solve this problem? Well, I don't think they can do anything to solve the problem as far as local crime and politicians may be at some point can help fund some of that. But other than that, they can't do anything. And so that's really the key component is that we have to do a better job of at least helping the police have the equipment, the money and the manpower through the federal system to better fight crime to keep it sort of in perspective.

That's a great example of how you have to approach a specific technique to a particular type of crime. So don't stand in each other's way. Work together, right? There is no doubt. This whole idea of us and them that has been sadly the heartbeat of so many politicians. I mean, the idea is it shouldn't matter at the end of the day whether you're a Democrat or Republican, a liberal or conservative, it's like, okay, well, how do we fix the problem? Or how do we address the problem? That was ABC News contributor Brad Garrett. President Biden is in ballet

"To go until November midterms, new pole data show a possible shift among voters on several key issues. Independent voters are growing more concerned about the economy and gas prices, rising crime has also become a major issue in a number of congressional races. As bob Cusack, editor in chief of the hill tells WTO, Republican candidates are promising to take action on these issues if they're elected. I think they're going to be passing legislation. And also trying to cut spending, but I could see some type of crime related bill if the house and or Senate flip to Republicans, they would do that. And then they vowed to cut spending, but at the same time, Republicans have vowed to cut spending before when they had been in power and they really haven't done it.

"WTO. America's birthday is here and the celebrations downtown at the national mall will be back to normal after two pandemic years. Crowds will soon be gathering for those events. Many road closures and parking restrictions in the district are already in effect. The National Park Service is putting on a full firework celebration just after 9 tonight. So if you're planning to head down to the national mall for the fireworks display, you are in course encouraged to take metro, but you'll probably want to leave home earlier than you were planning. Metro's rail capacity will be lower than a typical July 4th holiday. That means after the fireworks are over, expect longer lines to enter stations near them all. To help handle the crowds and manage the long waits, metros transit police will be positioned across the system. It's all hands on deck. Metro's interim general manager Andy off tells our news partners at NBC four, the July 4th celebration is a huge event for the agency. Pre-pandemic, you know, we'd have 400,000 people or so, whether we'll get to that point or not quite sure. But it's going to be big. And off says you will see metro transit police at the Smithsonian and other busy metro rail stations near the festivities, it may even get to the point where police will have to stop people before they enter a crowded station to make sure they're not putting too many people on the platform.

"Capacity will be less than previous independence days. That means you should be ready for longer wait times of up to an hour. And for crowding, especially at the end of the fireworks show in the 9 p.m. hour, metro transit police say they temporarily keep you from walking into those stations. If they have excessive crowding, that's to prevent unsafe conditions on the platforms, they recommend you hang around a little while after the fireworks on the mall, that way the crowds may thin out a little bit at the metro stations. Budgeting for inflation was not part of the plan for many people, but there are ways to weather the economic changes when it comes to your money, Kevin Mahoney, the founder of the D.C. financial planning company illuminates, says it's important to have a plan that works for your specific needs and goals. I would encourage people to think through what they really want to use their money for both in the short term in the long term. He says whether that's saving a little more to account for inflation or generating another stream of income. An exercise that a lot of people probably haven't gone through. Try to get a sense for the things that you probably didn't need to buy those things. You didn't get a lot of value out of them. Take out is a good example of that.

Why Black Officers Find Breach Of U.S. Capitol Particularly Upsetting
"Law enforcement officers were overpowered by that violent mob in the nation's capital. Last week. Disturbing videos show that police officers were kicked and punched and beaten with flagpoles. One police officer was killed and another later died by suicide off duty. But there were also a few police officers that appeared to sympathize with the mob. MPR's Leila Fadel reports that for current and retired black police officers It was particularly upsetting. Last week sharing Blackman Malloy watched her former colleagues try to stave off Attackers of the capital alone. Black officer heroically facing a largely white mob as they first breach the building. A lot of them felt like they were all all along black when Malloy is a retired U. S Capitol police officer and the vice president of the United States Black Capitol Police Association. Which led a class action lawsuit in 2012 against the Capitol police for alleged discrimination. She's also the lead plaintiff in the historic 2001 class action discrimination lawsuit against the Capitol Police board. Our organization is calling for criminal charges against the sergeant at arms of the House and the Senate, as well as the former U. S. Capitol police chief who resigned after the attack because they loved them unprepared. She spoken to black police officers that were at the Capitol that day. They're traumatized. Some of the crowd called him the n word. Some are injured. They're also scared because they saw a few of their white colleagues show sympathy with the mob. Several Capitol police officers were suspended as the department investigates the attack on Congress, among them the officer who took Selfies with writers and another who popped on a mag, a hat and directed Attackers around the building. Blackman. Malloy says black Capitol police officers told her this about inauguration Day and then now you expect me to go stand beside an officer not knowing whether or not he's one of one of the terrorists, that's what that's what we did. Then Maybe there were some off duty police officers from outside D. C in the crowd. Police departments are investigating, and that's not lost on so many police officers around the country, particularly black police officers who faced discrimination on the force. Carl Shaw sued the police division of the city of Columbus for racial discrimination and settled for $475,000. You have good police also said you have actually saucers, and in my case, if it wouldn't have been for white officers standing up and risking their careers, wouldn't have had a leg to stand on. I just think we need to change the way we police and the hiring practices. Also the settlement, which conceded no wrongdoing included to demand that the retaliation he faced for reporting racism by superior be a fireable offense. Char retires next month. If you're trading black officers this way, What are you doing to the general public? Heather Taylor, recently retired sergeant from the ST Louis Police Department was texting with other black officers as she watched the attack on Congress. She thought about many of our fellow officers who made the assumption that Trump flags meant support for law enforcement, even when the crowds were incited by the president's lies and included hate groups. Meanwhile, black lives matter. Protestors demanding racial justice were treated as hostile. I don't know maybe realize that these people who are extremists who are militia Who are a part of these groups or about civil war. They want civil war They want to do away with the government and law enforcement has hair to him. Taylor most recently headed the Ethical Society of Police, a ST Louis police organization that addresses racial discrimination in the police force and the community. Okay, well, they're gonna shake I'm going to say that these people are going to turn on them that the police are going to see that the same people that you supported over African Americans in black lives matter. You're going to see that it's different that they're going to turn on you. Sure enough, it was worse than what we could ever imagine.
