I guess Pat Robertson is saying "stop the insanity and incompleteness?"
Quote:
Ultra-conservative evangelical leader Pat Robertson delivered a surprisingly searing rant about the recent “onslaught” of police violence, blasting former officers Kim Potter and Derek Chauvin while saying cops have “got to stop this stuff.”
During his 700 Club broadcast on Thursday, Robertson and co-host Terry Meeuwsen discussed the shooting death of Daunte Wright, noting that Potter—who has been charged with manslaughter—has claimed that she confused her pistol and Taser when she shot and killed Wright during a traffic stop.
Using plastic models of the two weapons, Robertson and Meeuwsen demonstrated the difference in size and weight between the sidearm and Taser, prompting Robertson to say there’s “no comparison” between the two.
“Now how she made the difference, when she shot that poor guy to death, saying this is what I thought was my Taser,” Robertson fumed while wielding a plastic handgun. “And if you can’t tell the difference in the feel of those things, it’s crazy!”
The longtime right-wing activist, meanwhile, assured viewers that he is firmly “pro-police” and believes that “we need their service” before continuing his criticism.
“They do a good job, but if they don’t stop this onslaught, they cannot do this,” he exclaimed.
'We failed Adam': Body camera videos appear to show 13-year-old Adam Toledo put hands up before fatal police shooting
The mayor appealed for calm Thursday as the city released body-camera videos of last month's fatal shooting of Adam Toledo, 13, by a Chicago police officer – an incident that appears to show his hands in the air as he was shot.
According to one officer's body-cam video, the officer pulls up in a car, gets out, pushes past another man and runs down an alley shouting "stop" toward Adam, who is dressed in jeans, a sweatshirt and white baseball cap. Adam runs away from the officer but then slows down and pauses near a fence.
Adam can be seen tossing a gun behind the fence as he slows down, according to surveillance video shot from across a parking lot looking at the backside of the fence.
That's when the officer shouts, according to his body-cam video, "Show me your f***ing hands," and then either "stop it" or "drop it." Adam turns toward the officer and appears to put his hands up. He does not appear to have a gun in either hand. That's when the officer shoots – less than a second after Adam begins turning around to face the officer with his hands clearly raised.

Everyone now and then, even Pat Robertson gets one right.
But I guess he'll be called a radical leftist now.
Not by the radical left. They'll call him a "Convert" and pretend he has become a Democrat.
