Letter to the Editor: Want to crack down on crime? Vote for Reichert

Reader Jon Buss argues WA Attorney General Bob Ferguson has prosecuted police instead of criminals.

It is election season once again. And with election season comes advertisements on television and radio. Most of them are nauseating and stretch the truth. The one candidate that really pushes the envelope in regards to truth is little Bobby Ferguson, the Democrat candidate for governor of the state of Washington.

One of Bobby’s commercials shows him in fake outrage about the ratio of police officers to citizens and how we are ranked dead last in the country for police officers. I don’t know if it’s narcissism or psychopath, but he acts like he has been out of state for the last eight years. He acts like he just moved into state and is really surprised by the amount of crime and the number of police officers that have fled the profession because of policies enacted by Democrats.

Little Bobby is in complete denial that he is part of the problem. He is part of what I like to call the Axis of Evil. The axis of evil consist of little Bobby Ferguson, Jay Inslee, and the Democrats that run Olympia. Little Bobby, Jay and the Democrats kneeled before BLM and Antifa. They all took the marching orders from BLM and antifa and followed through with changes in law and new law which embraced criminals, went easy on criminals, handcuffed police officers, and went after police officers. They went after police officers, administratively and criminally. This led to officers fleeing the profession out of self preservation. They also made changes in the sentencing guidelines, which released criminals early. The death penalty in life without the possibility of parole are dead in this state. You can commit the most heinous crimes and be released in 25 years in this state.

Unfortunately, the axis of evil has the media on their side. And there are enough judges in court rooms all across the state that will rubberstamp what has been going on. Democrats talk about the US Supreme Court, look at the Washington state Supreme Court. They are all solid Seattle Democrats and will rubber stamp anything the Democrats do.

Next time you see or hear little Bobby Ferguson talking about getting tough on crime, keep in mind. He has been part of the problem and he has pushed for new laws that have gone soft on criminals. And, his office has actively pursued, criminally, prosecuting police officers that have been found not guilty.

Fortunately, the Republicans finally voted for a candidate that has a chance of winning. Dave Reichert is a man of character and a retired law enforcement officer. He has popular appeal across both party lines. The only thing the Democrats have is the fear mongering about abortion being made illegal in this state. As a governor, Reichert will have no authority to change the abortion laws unless the legislative body passes a bill for him to sign, so that’s not an issue. Vote for Reichert and stop Bobby Ferguson from furthering his pro criminal rampage.
