In a recent interview on Fox News Channel's "Your World," Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) acknowledged the pressing issue of rising crime rates in California cities.

He emphasized the need for better law enforcement and accountability, stating that actions like breaking into stores and carjacking should have consequences.

This comes as a stark shift in rhetoric for the California Democrat, who has previously taken an anti-police stance. However, it's not surprising that the Democratic anti-police stance must come to an end in the face of skyrocketing crime.

The Urgency of the Situation

Crime rates in California have reached alarming levels, and the situation demands immediate attention.

Rep. Ro Khanna's recent statements echo the concerns of many residents who are increasingly worried about their safety.

Khanna tried to point out that in cities like San Jose and Fremont, law enforcement is effective, but unfortunately even in these examples, violent crime continues to skyrocket.

The Role of Law Enforcement

Law enforcement agencies are the backbone of public safety.

In cities where the law is effectively enforced, crime rates are generally lower, and the quality of life is higher.

Khanna's comments, while maybe too little too late, highlight the importance of valuing our police officers and ensuring that they have the resources and support they need to do their jobs effectively.

Too bad Khanna and his ilk jumped on the anti-police bandwagon over the last few years or else this all might have been avoided.

The Consequences of Anti-Police Rhetoric

Ignoring the crime issue and failing to enforce the law adequately is having severe repercussions for communities.

Businesses are suffering, property values declining, and most importantly, residents are living in fear.

Khanna's call for better law enforcement is a political statement, a plea for action despite previously ensuring none was taken.

Hopefully, Californians will hold politicians like Khanna accountable for creating this mess to begin with.

Conclusion

The crime crisis in some California cities is a pressing issue that requires immediate action.

Ignoring the problem or failing to enforce the law will only exacerbate the situation, affecting the quality of life for all residents.
