One element involves the courts. Craig explained that courts are willingly making decisions that are void of common sense, such as allowing dangerous criminals back onto the streets. He then went on to remark that this is a pattern emerging in multiple major cities throughout America.
What kind of policy is this?!
Petty theft has been "decriminalized" in San Francisco. Anything under $950 will no longer be prosecuted.

Another top factor in law enforcement officers quitting their jobs nationwide deals with the failed leadership of Democrat mayors. Several leftist mayors, for instance, defunded the police and openly spoke as if law enforcement officers are the enemy.
In San Francisco, petty theft is legal. The city determined that law enforcement officers may not interfere with petty theft amounting to less than $950. As a result, many stores in San Francisco closed their doors, due to shoplifters taking advantage.
The need to support law enforcement officers
Before Craig’s interview with Fox News ended, he articulated the importance of supporting police officers. The former Detroit chief of police also noted that “defund the police” rhetoric has certainly contributed to law enforcement officers turning in their badges.
