I am sick and tired of watching good men and women in blue bleed in the streets because Illinois Democrats put criminals first with their radical SAFE-T Act.
Just days ago, a brave Chicago police officer was murdered and another critically wounded. This was the direct result of a failed soft-on-crime experiment that puts repeat offenders back on our streets. Enough is enough.
The SAFE-T Act has turned our pretrial system into a revolving door for violent criminals. We have seen dangerous offenders released only to commit more crimes, including the killing of police officers. Illinois families deserve better.
If we aren’t going to repeal this awful law, then we need to demand real reform. Senate Bill 4195 and House Bill 5757 will close these deadly loopholes. If you commit a new felony while on pretrial release, you stay behind bars. No more excuses.
We must protect our residents and back the blue. The SAFE-T Act must be fixed or scrapped before more heroes pay the ultimate price. Law and order need to come back to Illinois.
