Louisiana Senator emphasizes the importance of family and education in reducing crime rates on ‘Hannity’<\/p>\n
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., joined “Hannity” Wednesday to respond to the death of Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota and the arrest of former police officer Kim Potter on a charge of second-degree manslaughter.<\/p>\n
KENNEDY: In terms of this entire discussion about police officers and race, it seems to me — I can tell you what I believe, Sean. I don\u2019t think most or even many Americans are racist. I don\u2019t think most Americans even think that much about race. I think they think about character. I don\u2019t think that most cops are racist. In fact many of our police departments are majority-minority. I think they do the best they can.<\/em><\/p>\n This instance that happened, it was just horrible. It was horrible for the person killed, for the person\u2019s family. It\u2019s horrible for the police officer. I think we owe it to ourselves and to them to, let\u2019s just wait and try to get the facts about what happened. It doesn\u2019t appear to me that the officer did it intentionally. And I\u2019m not pretending to be a criminal lawyer and saying she committed this crime or that crime. But I think we owe it to all of us, ourselves and them, to wait and let\u2019s just get the facts.<\/em><\/p>\n …<\/em><\/p>\n You know, one other quick point. When a radical Muslim jihadist blows up a school, were always told, “Don\u2019t judge all people of the Muslim faith by the acts of a few, and I agree with that. How come the same rule doesn\u2019t apply to police officers?”<\/em><\/p>\n
