The Attorney General of the United States has been facing a credibility crisis after paraphrasing special counsel Robert Mueller’s report in a manner that was later revealed to be completely misleading.

Since then, Barr’s credibility problems have continued to grow as his critics say his actions show him acting like the president’s defense counsel, instead of the top law enforcement official in America.

The critics worried that such action would undermine the legitimacy of the DOJ among the majority of Americans who do not approve of the president’s conduct in office.

Barr seemed to admit such a dynamic exists during a Monday speech to the National Sheriff’s Association when he noted the shooting of two New York City Police Department officers.

“And they come against a backdrop of cynicism and disrespect toward law enforcement that has propelled a cycle of violence and distrust between police officers and the communities they serve,” Barr warned.

“This is a very disturbing trend. Without trust between the public and the police, all of us will be less safe,” he admitted.

“It is therefore incumbent on everyone to work together to reverse this trend,” Barr urged.

short article, nothing more

[applegrove]

1. He's talking about african americans and the police. This is campaign

propaganda meant to depress the black vote. He's not taking ownership for his behaviour.

2. I understand about what he is saying, but when he says "disrespect toward law enforcement," he

doesn't get the fact that he (Barr) is the most disrespectful towards law enforcement by not enforcing the law against 45.

3. The article seems to suggest Barr is doing a mea culpa. This is GOP

election meme that they care about african americans. Two wrongs don't make a right. This is GOP propaganda.

4. I totally agree; more GOP hypocrisy.

5. Sad to see Raw Story publish it.
