Once this installed president says he will release more criminals this is what embolden these criminals to commit all sorts of atrocities on innocent citizens.
Now police commissioner backtracking on the mess they made with the gun amnesty program saying he knew criminals will not turn in their guns.
Babies that aint born as yet could have told these clowns this.
But hey is music to the ears of some and big money for the pockets of some when they come up with these schemes.
They have to find jobs for all the good boys n girls that went on their knees begging US to install them to rule.
