ERLANGER, Ky. – U.S. Sen. Rand Paul spoke with local law enforcement at the Erlanger City Building Friday about police reform, criminal rehabilitation and officer recruitment. He also spoke about President Joe Biden's infrastructure proposal and how it relates to the Brent Spence Bridge.
Officers from Kenton and Campbell counties joined the roundtable discussion where the Kentucky Republican asked police about their experiences. This is one stop of Paul's journey throughout Kentucky to talk more to local law enforcement.
Paul said he was "disturbed" by how police have been treated by the media and public.
"I think the media and many in the public are treating and portraying law enforcement as if you're 99% bad. I think it's the opposite – I think 99% or higher are good and there's occasionally bad people," he said.
