There are a range of reasons for that. Our focus is on what we can do to address it,\u201d Psaki said. \u201cThe president has proposed additional funding in the budget to make sure local police departments and cops have the funding they need. We have also worked directly with police departments in areas where they are seeing the highest impact of the crime, the retail theft of which we have great concern about. That\u2019s what our focus is on currently is action and doing what we can to make sure the funding is out there to the communities that need it the most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fox News Reporter Cites Burned Christmas Tree In Question To Psaki About Crime\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vsXZn4LuEpI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what good does it do if you\u2019re going to give police departments extra money if they arrest bad guys and they bring them to jail and then they\u2019re not prosecuted, they\u2019re just right back out on the streets?\u201d Doocy pressed, with Psaki saying the administration is focused on giving police departments resources to crack down on crime while not answering Doocy\u2019s question on prosecutors. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/06\/la-residents-violent-crime-wealthy-neighborhoods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018Never Seen Anything Like It\u2019: LA Residents Rattled As Violent Crime Finally Seeps Into Wealthy Neighborhoods)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust in the last week we saw a New York Post item about a pick-pocket with more than 30 arrests back out on the street.

Does the president think that\u2019s good governing?\u201d Doocy questioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019ve spoken to the president\u2019s concerns about retail theft,\u201d Psaki said before telling Doocy if he had questions about specific cases he should contact local police departments or the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/12\/09\/craig-tamanaha-fox-news-christmas-tree-arson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Craig Tamanaha<\/a>, the alleged arsonist of the Fox News Christmas Tree, was previously arrested for drug-related crimes and low-level incidents.
