Fox News<\/a> posted an article today about a statement made by the co-owner of JKC Trucking, Mike Kucharski.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A trucking company owner told Fox News on Wednesday that in order to keep drivers safe, he will not direct services to cities that are pushing<\/a> to defund the police.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur first priority is to support our drivers and their safety when they are on the road,\u201d co-owner of JKC Trucking Mike Kucharski told \u201cFox & Friends First<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kucharski said that defunding the police is a bad idea because drivers carry valuable cargo on the road for weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody wants to steal this,\u201d Kucharski said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A soon-to-be-released survey of 258\u00a0police<\/a>\u00a0departments nationwide shows almost half have had\u00a0their budgets cut amid\u00a0calls<\/a>\u00a0for police to be defunded despite increases in gun\u00a0violence<\/a>\u00a0and otherwise violent crime in some parts of the country, according to\u00a0USA Today<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The outlet was first to report that the Police Executive Research Forum publication, which is expected to be released in the coming days, shows cuts in the police budgets are largely being made to training and\u00a0equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article also notes:<\/p>\n

Kucharski said that his company is also avoiding states pushing to defund the police because his insurance<\/a> coverage is prone to dissolve.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnother issue that I am seeing in the future is I have cargo insurance, liability insurance, fiscal damage insurance, and I am very curious how when I renew my contracts at the end of the year, if there is going to be language — if I am going to even have coverage going into these places,\u201d Kucharski said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I have coverage going all over domestically. You have to get special coverage for Canada or Mexico or you might have to buy special riders for this on top of everything.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you were planning a family trip right now, would you be willing to drive through some of the cities where the police are letting rioters run wild or would you avoid those cities? Why should truck drivers be any different? This will result in shortages of products in cities that defund their police departments. It will be interesting to see how the leaders of those cities attempt to deflect the blame for the consequences of their actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
