I’m actually all for it. Just not in my city. If the Left wants to run these experiments, let them. It took less than three weeks for CHOP to come crumbling down. What’s the result of defunding the police anyway, other than having less officers on the street? So....let’s pick a city and have the police stay in the station for a few months. I’m willing to see what happens, record the results, and they can do an official assessment.

The last thing I want to see is less funding for police . More funding for mental health and social workers to  go to appropriate calls .

 

More mental health funding would be huge. Unfortunately, due to the lack of resources, the only current way to deal with many mental health crises is to push it off to the criminal justice system, which is not where many - if not most - of these people need to be.

Oregon State Police say trooper’s hand gesture in viral video was innocuous
https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/07/oregon-state-police-say-troopers-hand-gesture-in-viral-video-was-innocuous.html
Doesn't stop them from pushing a narrative in the article:

 

"Use of the hand gesture to mean “white power” started as a hoax online, but has since been used earnestly,"
"But as the initial video circulated on social media Sunday, many took it as an opportunity to continue legitimate criticism of police in Oregon that has stemmed from several incidents"

Huh...............I thought that all Blacks were supposed to think the same.............according to the Left.

 

 

BLACK ACTIVISTS IN MINNEAPOLIS DO NOT WANT TO DEFUND THE POLICE:

 

“‘It is time to stand up in this city, it is time to tell the city council that utopia is a bunch of B.S.

 

We are not in Mayberry RFD, we are in the wild wild west. And it is time for some answers,’ Clemons said.”

J'ever wonder how Trump arranged for the covid virus to be spread across the world?  He prolly did it when the unemployment rate among minorities was dropping lower than it ever was during the "previous administration."

BODY CAMERAS HELP: 

 

Police video of fatal shooting shows victim fired on cops.

 

Detroit police released the body camera video, along with another video from a squad car’s dashboard camera which showed officers fatally shooting 20-year-old Hakim Littleton after he pulled a pistol from his left pocket and opened fire.

 

Detroit police chief James Craig said he released the video hours after the incident to quell “a false narrative” that the shooting was unjustified. The “erroneous information that was put out has incited violence,” Craig said during a press conference at Public Safety Headquarters.

 

 

 

It’s as if inciting violence is a goal.

AMBUSHED: 2 slain police officers ‘never had a chance’ in Texas shooting, chief says.

 

Two police officers who were responding to a disturbance call were killed Saturday in a South Texas town after a suspect met the officers at the door and shot them, police say.

 

The shooting happened so quickly that “our officers did not draw their weapons, did not fire, never stood a chance – never had a chance,” McAllen, Texas, Police Chief Victor Rodriguez said in a statement to the media.

 

The police department learned about the fatal shooting when other officers stopped by the scene to do a routine check, Rodriguez said.

 

The officers were responding to reports of a violent disturbance, Rodriguez said. “They were doing their job. That is what we are supposed to do.”

 

The officers approached the door of the residence after meeting people outside the house who reported that a disturbance or assaults were occurring inside, Rodriguez said.

 

 

Blue lives matter too, though it can be worth your job to say so some places, these days.

 

 

Added:  Know their names.

 

 

“The slain McAllen officers were identified as Edelmiro Garza, 45, and Ismael Chavez, 39.
