Tim Scott (S.C.) has cautioned lawmakers against demonizing police officers in their efforts to achieve police reform. During an interview on Sunday, Scott warned there would be a reduction in police forces if they\u2019re demonized or if law enforcement is defunded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you demonize police officers, when you defund police and you start talking about this war on police and prosecution and not on crime, you\u2019re going to have a reduction in forces,\u201d said Scott. \u201cAnd if you tell officers that their personal liability is on the line, it is a bad decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker cited the situation in Baltimore, where the city had to request federal officers due to 400 spots being vacant on the local force following a police reform passed earlier in the year. The Republican also noted ending qualified immunity hasn\u2019t been a topic of police reform talks, calling the idea of doing so on a federal level \u201cbad policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Reducing inflation\u2026good for America.<\/p>\n<p>Getting rid of disincentives for work\u2026good for America.<\/p>\n<p>Restoring confidence in our law enforcement\u2026.good for America. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kUKCfvVpmq\">pic.twitter.com\/kUKCfvVpmq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tim Scott (@SenatorTimScott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorTimScott\/status\/1419301655150014468?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/many-parents-choose-homeschooling-over-in-person-learning\/\">Many Parents Choose Homeschooling Over In-Person Learning<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
