福克斯新闻 美国司法部长谈特朗普政府打击犯罪的举措(2)

You gave a dinner for I think a couple hundred police officers in New York City, treating them all to big Italian dinner in New York. Why'd you want to do that? As I said to them, you know, I think it's a noble -- there's no more noble job than serving as a police officer, and I wanted to convey to them the respect I have and the appreciation¹ I have for the job they do. I grew up in New York City. NYPD is sort of the police force of my youth. I think they're not only New York's finest, they're the country's finest. And I thought going and having dinner with a large group of the police officers would be a good way to send that message. You talked to in your piece about social justice DAs, and you put social justice in quotes. What do you mean by that? What does that mean? Social justice DAs. Well, there's been this recent development where George Soros has been coming in largely in Democratic primaries, where they're not gonna be much voter turnout and putting in a lot of money to elect people who are not very supportive of law enforcement and don't view the office has bringing to trial and prosecuting² criminals but pursuing other social agendas. And they have started to win in a number of cities. And they have, in my view, not given the proper support to the police.

你在纽约宴请了几百名警察，吃的是意式大餐。你为什么想做这件事呢？就像我和他们说的那样，我觉得没有比警察更高贵的职业了，而且我想向他们表达我对他们的职业——警察的尊敬和感激。我在纽约长大。我小时候看到的警察都来自纽约市警察局。我觉得他们不仅是纽约最好的，而且也是我国最好的警察。我觉得和一大群警察一起吃晚餐是很好的传递这一信息的方式。在你写的那篇东西里，你谈到了对“社会正义”的直接攻击，你还给社会正义打上了引号。你想表达什么意思？对社会正义的直接攻击是什么意思？最近，乔治·索罗斯介入民主党初选，他们的投票率不高，索罗斯投入大量资金，让人们选择那些不太支持执法，认为警察并不是在审判和指控罪犯、而是在做其他社会事务的人们。他们已经在一些城市赢得选举了。在我看来，他们并未支持警察。

And they're following policies that are ultimately gonna lead to an increase in violent crime and more victims. Do you think if people don't treat their police officers better in communities, that they're going to sort of bite off their nose to spite their face, that they will end up with fewer police officers, fewer people who want to protect them? Yeah, you know, I was accused of suggesting that the police are gonna withdraw their protection. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is most police forces in the country have high number of vacancies³. And as the job gets higher and as police feel that the prosecutors⁴ or their political leaders in the jurisdiction⁵ are not supporting them, they either can stop being police, or they can move to a jurisdiction that's more hospitable⁶. And I think that, you know, we could find ourselves in the position that if we don't, communities that aren't supporting the police, may not get the police protection they need. Attorney General Barr, thank you very much. Good to have your time today. Thank you.

他们遵循的政策最终会导致暴力犯罪和受害者数量的增加。你觉得，如果在社区，人们没有更好地对待警察的话，他们将伤人害己，会不会有更少的警察、更少的人愿意保护他们呢？嗯，有人指控我，说我意指警察要取消对我们的保护。我没有说过这些话。我说的是，大多数警队都有大量的警察岗位空缺。岗位空缺率变得更高了，警察感觉管辖区内的检察官或政治领袖并不支持他们，他们要么就不当警察了，要么就去到另一个更为亲善的管辖区当警察。我觉得我们可以发现，如果社区不支持警察，那他们也就不会受到自身所需的警察的保护。司法部长巴尔先生，非常感谢你。今天很高兴见到你。谢谢。
