Defund the Police?


Recommended Posts

Welp, this story has something for everyone! :wacko:

 

St. Louis mayor faces calls to resign after she was accused of doxxing the names and addresses of constituents who wrote letters calling for police defunding
 

● St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson on Friday was accused of doxxing her constituents during a live broadcast on Facebook when she shared the names and addresses of protestors who gave her letters calling for police reform.
● On the since-deleted broadcast, Krewson shared the name and addresses of at least 10 people who called on her to slash police funding amid ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd.

● Krewson, a Democrat who has previously said she was "listening" to protestors' concerns, apologized amid complaints that her Facebook broadcast put her citizens at risk and that she should resign from office.

● The video was up for about three hours on Facebook before it was deleted and Krewson posted an apology.

 

St. Louis, Missouri, Mayor Lyda Krewson on Friday apologized after she earlier in the day shared the names and addresses of her constituents who had hand-delivered her letters calling for police reformation during a protest outside the St. Louis City Hall.

Krewson then grabbed a stack of papers from her desk, began reading from the letters, and sharing the names and addresses of the individuals who had written them to her.

 

"Here's one that wants $50 million to go to Cure Violence, $75 million to go to affordable housing, $60 million to go to Health and Human Services and have zero go to the police," Krewson said, according to the report. "So that's [REDACTED] who lives on [REDACTED] wants no police — no money going to police."

She later added: "I agree with all these things, by the way — except we're not going to take all the money from the police," Krewson added on the since-deleted broadcast. I think we need our police department."

"She needs to resign immediately," one person wrote in a Tweet that received nearly 800 retweets and more than 2,200 likes. "At best, this is unforgivable intimidation against her own people. At worst, it's an incitement."
 

A petition that was started by local drag queen Maxi Glamour calling for her resignation has gained more than 16,000 signatures since it was started late Friday.

Yes!

Defund the police in the poorer areas.

Keep the police in the rich areas.

The game never changes.

 


What exactly is this justice they are looking for.  BLM is in dire need of a marketing department. Oh wait no.  That would likely be a terrible idea.

They spent it all on coming up with the name Black Lives Matter, which was frankly, brilliant. People are constantly conflating Black Lives Matter with black lives matter. Two totally different meanings. Try declaring Black Lives Matter a terrorist group (like Antifa) and see what happens.

Exactly. They use paradoxical word salads so that when you criticize their activities, they can claim that YOU don't think black lives matter. Antifa calling themselves anti-fascist is an oxymoron.

Well, I think we all know how that's going to work out.
