Your Opinion: Let law enforcement officers do their jobs

Dear Editor:

After decades of decline in violent crimes this past year after Ferguson murder, riots, chaos have become rampant. St. Louis alone has had 130 killed, many more shootings. New York murder is up 20 percent; Atlanta is up 32 percent; Milwaukee is up 180 percent and Baltimore is up 211 killings.

Chicago shootings exceeded 1,000 the first six months. They had 82 shootings Independence Day weekend alone.

Case in point, to highlight the ineffectiveness of restrictive firearm laws of Chicago, Chicago is the home ground of President Obama, Eric Holder and Gov Emanuel and their demand for more gun control on American citizens. Take away the guns of general public and authority of law enforcement, criminals run free. The FBI documented more than 100,000 street gang members in Chicago alone. 33,000 gangs with 1.4 million members active across the United States.

Murder, shootings, rape and robberies are increasing daily in Jefferson City and Columbia. Our law enforcement needs the personnel, the tools and the citizens' help to curb these crimes.

President Obama and Gov. Nixon tied the hands of law enforcement and emboldened the criminal and rioters. I personally blame them and the news media for the chaos and the cop killing.

President Obama sent representatives to Michael Brown's funeral. Has he sent representatives to funerals of the cops that have been killed? No. Black Lives Matter, law officers lives matter, all lives matter.

If President Obama wanted a decline in murder he can use his executive order pen authorizing law enforcement to stop and search, also to profile.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck.

Gangs and druggies from the bottom up. The way they walk, talk, dress, congregate there will be gang members, drugs and guns. Birds of a feather flock together.

Let law enforcement do their job for the betterment of the country.

If President Obama uses his pen, it is the law.
