Beach said surging crime numbers are driving the support for it.

As it is, they enjoy the status of sacred cows, and any real or imagined slight of them is regarded as a hate crime, as close as it gets to being a capital offense in todayâs political climate. A climate in which a charge of âracistâ can short circuit a career, especially that of a politician or a member of the media.
