B-Man Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 THEY’VE STOPPED COVERING AND STARTED COVERING-FOR: The Media Urge to Explain away ‘Defund the Police.’ The hot protest slogan and hashtag of the moment is “Defund the Police.” At times, it’s also framed as a call to abolish or disband the police. Ordinary speakers of the English language would naturally assume, listening to people chant “defund the police” in the streets, carry “defund the police” signs, and literally paint “defund the police” on the streets of D.C., that such people mean “defund the police.” But not our media! There’s been an immediate rush to write pieces explaining that, of course, “defund the police” does not actually mean “defund the police.” . . . Notably, articles of this nature seek to draw the eye towards legislative and think-tank proposals and away from the voices of the people actually chanting in the streets. In part, of course, all this explaining is a reflection of what a radical and politically explosive idea “defund the police” is in an election year, and how it divides the Democrats along ideological and generational lines. Leading Democratic politicians are running headlong away from the slogan while trying to embrace the people chanting it. Joe Biden, who for years proudly touted his role in the 1994 “put 100,000 more cops on the street” crime bill, visibly wants no part of the slogan. But unlike the party’s leadership, many of whom were born in the early 1940s, influential younger lawmakers such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are pushing the idea. These are the folks who may run the party when the age-77-and-up crowd moves on. Defunding police is also wildly impractical. The Minneapolis City Council grabbed headlines by voting to defund and disband the city’s police department, but they don’t actually have the legal authority to do that; defunding would require a revision to the city charter, which the voters would have to approve. Until then, the cops report to the city’s mayor, not the city council. Camden, New Jersey actually went forward with disbanding its police department — in theory. In practice, what Camden did is just old-fashioned union-busting: disband the department to get rid of the union, then hire the same cops back at lower salaries and benefits. What makes the media’s Voxsplaining of “Defund the Police” all so astonishingly brazen is when you compare it with how they routinely treat popular slogans, protests, and broad-brush assertions by politicians on the right. To be fair, that’s because they’re lying weasels who openly message for the Democrats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Pointed out in polite language that it was at least interesting that the ban on political speech in the forum putatively dedicated to sports seems to have been mysteriously lifted. Same folks who got very upset at the slightest hint of a political opinion are now going full bore SJW apotheosis. Fella who runs the site snidely informed that I've been here for 17 years without paying for the privilege. So, as per usual, liberal hypocrisy is their own version of sharia law.
