philadelphia's fraternal order of police, and here's what he told us. thank you very much for joining us tonight. philadelphia got a new district attorney as we just said with the backing of george soros. he made changes to the way that crimes are prosecuted in philadelphia. what was the result? >> the result, this time last year the crime was through the roof. over the last year, there's been 6,500 less cases on the criminal justice center. crime is up. 4,000 felons on the streets running the city of philadelphia. everybody's pointing the finger to police officers, to the police commissioner. the fact of the matter is thats we are doing a job, he has decimated the philadelphia district attorney's office. he has a great disdain for law enforcement. he let go many prosecutors his first weekend, 31 to be exact. there's a 30% turnover rate, all that while we are trying to protect the community. >> tucker: an ideologue comesat in with left-wing backing and guts the criminal justice system, crime rises on the police got blamed for it? is that what you are sa
