Extra: "When The Badge Becomes The Target"

A House Homeland Security Committee hearing turned tense earlier this week as lawmakers clashed over the source and impact of violent rhetoric toward law enforcement. Democrats focused on the events of January 6th and the conduct of ICE agents during raids, while Republicans and union officials warned that rising threats, including last week’s fatal shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C., indicate that officers are facing unprecedented danger. They also highlighted how the rhetoric and the risk of violence are impacting police recruitment and retention. Colorado Congressman and former police officer Gabe Evans joins the Rundown’s Jessica Rosenthal following Wednesday’s hearing to discuss the challenges and dangers law enforcement is currently facing. Rep. Evans explained why he believes there are consequences to this rhetoric and how it's affecting recruitment, safety, and public trust.
