Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik criticized protesters who tore down New York City Council as “disrespectful and arrogant thugs” in “The Ingraham Angle” on Wednesday and warned that the number of officers in Retiring police will soon be “towering” in response to the “refine the police” movement
“You are going to see huge increases in violent crime,” Kerik told guest host Raymond Arroyo. “This is not just in New York City. Each of these Democrat-run cities across the country … as long as this continues, you will see huge spikes in crime.”

“The black community will suffer the most,” he added. “And I think someone knows [New York City] Mayor [Bill] De Blasio, you have to believe that what he’s doing is intentional because it defies common sense. It defies logic and challenges basic management principles. “
The protests continued outside of New York City Council on Wednesday after the City Council vote Tuesday to cut the New York Police Department’s budget of $ 1 billion.

Kerik criticized protesters for vandalizing the city and warned that arresting them would have no impact, alleging that recently enacted bail reform laws are encouraging crime.
“The problem is that if they get arrested, they’ll be back on the street in six hours, thanks to the mayor, thanks to the New York governor with bail reform laws that everyone and his brother told them not to do,” Kerik said. “That’s what they did. And as a result, you’re emboldening the criminal element. And these are just representatives of that.”
