Former President Donald Trump suggested, at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday, that a single “rough hour” of rigorous law enforcement could effectively deter retail larceny.
“We have to let the police do their job, and if they have to be extraordinarily rough,” Trump stated.
“One rough hour, and I mean real rough- the word will get out, and it will end immediately,” he added.
Trump alleged, without providing evidence, that individuals are leaving stores with items such as air conditioning units and refrigerators, while law enforcement is prohibited from intervening.
The Former President then shifted his focus to the issue of theft in San Francisco, accusing Vice President Kamala Harris, his opponent in the presidential race, of reclassifying thefts under $950 from felonies to misdemeanours. However, this claim is inaccurate as the change was made through a voter-approved proposition in California, according to ABC News.
