Tom Homan: “Right now the numbers run around 60 to 65% criminal. But…”

“Look, if you have a criminal public safety threat here and a non criminal here, who should you arrest first? We're always going to go for the public safety threat because he's the biggest threat to our communities. Right. So Right now the numbers run around 60 to 65% criminal. But let's say 60% of [who] we're arresting is criminal. Let's just use that number. 40% are non criminal. I think that's good. I think it's better than saying 40% are criminal, 6% are non criminal. I mean, it's about public safety.” (08:05–08:13)
