Shortly before President Joe Biden unveiled his proposal on June 23 to deal with the crime wave sweeping across the United States, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced his own comprehensive package of legislation that would put 100,000 more law enforcement officers on the streets.
“American families aren’t safe, but they deserve to be. And they can be if we will act. This is not the time to defund the police or vilify them, but to support the brave men and women in blue—and put more of them on the streets. Immediately,” Hawley said in a statement.
