Mark Pocan: “5% of people have violent criminal backgrounds, 73% nothing.”

“As it is right now, watching them literally run roughshod over our constitutional rights as Americans, watching them not do what they said. They said they were going to go after people who had criminal backgrounds. I think 5% of people have violent criminal backgrounds, 73% nothing. Another 5% have, like, traffic violations and things like that. But when you break it all down, we're not going after the people that they say they're going after.” (03:23–03:28)
