Donald Trump: Radical Left Wants to Defund the Police

4 Jun 2020

President Donald Trump on Thursday reacted to the new slogan pushed by the left, demanding that state and local governments defund the police.

The Radical Left Democrats new theme is Defund the Police, Trump wrote on Twitter. Remember that when you don't want Crime, especially against you and your family.

The president accused former Vice President Joe Biden of moving in the direction of the most radical elements of his party.

This is where Sleepy Joe is being dragged by the socialists, he wrote. I am the complete opposite, more money for Law Enforcement!

Trump commented after one of failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's aides echoed the slogan on Twitter.

Defund the police

That prompted Republican mockery on Twitter.

I can't believe I have to say this, but do NOT defund the police, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany wrote on Twitter.

How brave! This, coming from Hillary Clinton's former Spox who rode around in motorcades with her with Police escorts to keep them safe, White House Director of Strategic Communications Alyssa Farrah wrote.

Tom Cotton shared a similar message.

Wealthy liberals like Hillary Clinton's former press assistant have no problem calling to defund the police, they can live in gated communities and hire security guards, he wrote.

Cheer on the rioters & looters who burn your city, Sen. Ted Cruz wrote. It's like Mad Max at Thunderdome, brought home to America.

Hillary's press secretary makes the 2020 Dem agenda clear:

Defund the police.

Take your guns.

Former Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell demanded that the Biden campaign denounce the sentiment immediately.

Minneapolis City Council to hold emergency meeting Friday to discuss framework for systemic change, MPD

June 05, 2020

Thursday, the Minneapolis City Council said they are holding a special emergency meeting to approve court order outlining changes for the Minneapolis Police Department and framework for systemic change.

Minnesota Department of Human Rights Commissioner Rebecca Lucero and the Minneapolis Civil Rights Director Velma Korbel will brief the City Council Friday on the next steps for the state investigation into the MPD. The City Council will also vote on a court order, stipulating changes for the department and a framework for systemic change as part of the state's longer-term investigation, according to a news release.

Two Minneapolis City Council members have tweeted this week that they're looking to make serious changes to, or possibly eliminate, the Minneapolis Police Department after George Floyd's death last week.....

Abolishing The Police Is Becoming A More Popular Idea Among Left-Wingers
Peter Hasson

June 04, 2020

Support for abolishing or defunding the police is quickly gaining support among left-wingers.

Prominent liberal figures are increasingly embracing the radical idea amid the nationwide protests and violence following the death of George Floyd, who died after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes, according to video from the scene.

Former Hillary Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon, who now leads left-wing group Demand Justice, tweeted out his support for defunding the police on Wednesday.

Left-wing celebrities, including singer John Legend and women’s soccer player Megan Rapinoe, have signed a Black Lives Matter petition that calls for defunding the police.

“We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive,” reads a May 30 post on Black Lives Matter’s website.

A Black Lives Matter protest in Fort Worth, Texas, on Thursday featured a speaker who called for abolishing the local police department.

“What we are demanding, and what I demand, is that we abolish our law enforcement,” Black Lives Matter organizer Natasha Nelson said.

A Massachusetts chapter of the United Auto Workers union on May 29 called for the “disarmament and defunding of local police departments, with the redistribution of resources to democratically community-controlled education, healthcare and housing infrastructure.”

The Daily Beast on Thursday published a Harvard University researcher’s op-ed titled, “Disband the police.”

Brooklyn College professor Alex Vitale told Mother Jones magazine in an interview that “there’s been a deepening of analysis among the activists who initially just wanted to jail some killer cops, but then began to see that that would not really fix the problem,” and now want to abolish law enforcement altogether.

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib urged skeptics in a May 31 tweet to “dig deeper so that the #DefundPolice movement isn’t brushed aside.”

Another high-profile freshman Democrat, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, previously said that America needs to have a “real conversation” about abolishing prisons.

“Mass incarceration is our American reality. It is a system whose logic evolved from the same lineage as Jim Crow, American apartheid, & slavery,” she wrote in an October 2019 tweet. “To end it, we have to change. That means we need to have a real conversation about decarceration & prison abolition in this country.”

Democrat big city mayors have already emptied their jails of criminals. Covid-19.

Democrat governors have emptied state prisons of criminals. Covid-19.

Democrat big city mayors have turned loose those arrested for arson, assault, looting and destruction of private and public property in the riots/insurrections.

Now, democrats are talking about dismantling/defunding democrat run police departments AND abolishing prisons altogether.

So, Gun Up America. You're going to be on your own.

An alternative possibility is that democrat mayors, democrat city councils and democrat governors will be flung out of office in November...so hard their sorry a$$es won't hit the ground until they bounce off the sidewalks.

Nevertheless, Americans are already Gunning Up. And, this was before the democrat loons started talking about abolishing police departments and abolishing prisons.

'Massive spike' in gun and ammunition sales as FBI background checks break May record
Paul Bedard
June 01, 2020

Gun sales and FBI background checks on purchasers soared in May, which recorded the third-highest level of checks ever in the 22-year history of the federal system.

According to the FBI, there have already been more than 15 million background checks this year, used mostly for legal sales, putting the country on a pace to break last year’s all-time high of 28 million checks in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

May’s 3,091,455 background checks was the highest for any May recorded. March was the highest month on record, at 3,740,688.....

If certain people do not want the police and want to live in a police free city or area, they should be allowed to have this dream. I think the states should designate Police free areas or counties where those folks can move in, live, work, shop, etc... The transition could take about 1 year, to allow the no police migration to happen and to allow those who do not share this sentiment to move out of those areas.

Would you suggest or prefer that those who don't like or do not agree with the No police zone stay there anyway? I am trying to understand why would they even want to stay...

Is this one of those narcissistic drug addled crazy celebs you like?

the 8point plan "decreases police violence by 72%" when none of the policies were formerly in effect. Supposedly. In theory. That pulled out of his hate number was suggested in a 2016 paper by Sam Sinyangwe. The proposal isn't well thought out or peer reviewed, but the conclusion pleased the pr department (72% sounds so scientific huh?), so here we are. What most narcissistic drug addled celebs and their sycophants miss is that US police departments already employ some ( or most or all) of these policies.

The thing is the "general" old school democrats have been pushed out of power within the DNC. They are no longer steering the ship, the are not calling the shots. They have either acquiesced to the far left wing or been removed. Ironically, the modern GOP is closer to the 60s/70s classic Demo than the modern Demo.

I am pretty sure in the left leaning city where I currently live, if the so called progressive council members voted to defund the police and effectively make it a No Police city, there would be spontaneous mass exodus from businesses and individuals. You wouldn't have to tell them to move.

That’s a likely outcome, because many of these places have a duty to flee doctrine, and businesses have absolutely no ability to protect themselves. Banks are feeling it.

The hypocrisy of this “defund police” stance is the same folks that hate the police so much they want the entire department removed are the same folks who want bigger government, social programs, and stricter gun regulations.

Finally! We may agree. Its disheartening and annoying to read working families party or sunrise movement are dems. They are a splinter group and should be intelligently called such.

At least tea partiers are called such and not generally called pubbies.

The GOP's are Dems of old. The alt righters are just plain extremests as is working families.

yea and no. Extremist is a too generic term. True blue anarchists are hard to come by. Most encouraging anarchy do so as a means to an end. ie a period of chaos necessary before a new system in established. People want power (the left) or money (the right). Genuine anarchy doesn't give the left power, and certainly doesnt make them money. You will in fact find more pure anarchists on the far right than the left now.

Well some people sure like it. They like it when it means a redistribution of power into their hands.

Whether the masses "like" it or not doesn't much matter. Tenable just means convincing. And never has convincing the masses been so easy.
