Judge Pirro: 'Anarchy and chaos' will be the end result of defunding police
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Judge Jeanine Pirro on Friday blasted the agitators who caused disruption and rioting during the peaceful protests over George Floyd’s death.
“These agitators, whether they’re from within this country or outside of this country, whether they’re foreign, whether they’re domestic, the whole point is to create chaos and anarchy,” the host of "Justice with Jeanine" told "Fox & Friends."
Pirro said the economic lockdowns as a result of the coronavirus pandemic provided the “petri dish” for such mass rioting to occur.

She also blasted the calls to defund police departments across the nation.

The "defund the police" movement has gained traction by Black Lives Matter activists following the death of George Floyd.
Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley asked Fallon on Twitter if this was now the “official position” of the Democratic Party.

Pirro said that there are technological advances to help track the agitators who intervene in the protests. And she said no good would come of defunding police.
“The end goal of defunding police departments is to create anarchy and chaos,” Pirro said. “If you want anarchy, get rid of the police departments. I’ll tell you what, for someone who spent 30 years in the trenches fighting against evil in this country. We have a civil war every day in terms of crime, in terms of shooting, stabbing, drug deals, domestic violence, child abuse, bank robberies.”
