    Roughly 25% of the country will be arrested, or put on probation at least once in their lives. That’s been a steady statistic since the early '90s when Clinton signed his crime bill.

      Clinton signed his crime bill

      I wasn’t familiar, thanks for the pointer. This rhetoric “though on crime” has been going on from before my birth it seems.

      We cannot take our country back until we take our neighborhoods back. Four years ago this crime issue was used to divide America. I want to use it to unite America. I want to be tough on crime and good for civil rights. You can’t have civil justice without order and safety.
