This Super Bowl was the 50th. It was also held not far from Oakland. It was 50 years ago in Oakland that the Black Panthers were formed. Her music video was anti-cop. The Black Panthers were known for committing ambush attacks on cops and killed not only cops, but also witnesses to their crimes. When Beyonce performed, they were dressed in 60s Black Panther style uniform, gave the Black power salute used by the Black Panthers, and formed the X as in Malcolm X who was one of the inspirations for the Black Panthers including Chairman Mao and other Communist leaders of the time. This performance was a statement of revolution against the police and now she expects police to protect her.

It could backfire on them if security is hired for cheaper, and they do the job just as well.

I'm sure many Cops are angry about this-they usually love working concerts and events for twice their normal pay (or more).

Good, hopefully she hires the NOI or some other group to protect the area.

Only those that agree with your point of view should get the support, is that what you're saying?
The KKK routinely sued to force police forces to provide protection for rallies. The City of Chicago famously won one of these lawsuits, and the KKK never rallied there because they refused to provide police protection. But no one every shows photos of police not providing protection to the Klan in Chicago.

How about only those that don't directly politicize against and hate you?

It's just that doing personally distasteful things just for the money is more of a liberal thing.

However, skank?

Are you telling me that you can do better than Beyonce?

Short answer: HELL NO!!! Not in a million years.

Where did she say that she hated the police?

And LOL at Beyonce putting Western Civilization on a path of destruction.

She's black who isn't in possession of a shoe shine kit. To the quoted posters above, that makes her a dangerous black radical. Pay it no mind.
She objectively dresses like a skank.

Better than Beyonce? Of course. It isn't difficult to better a skanky low-education entertainer who readily takes up politics that she little understands and are fed to her by her betters.

Yes, because it's the conservatives want both the 1st and 2nd amendments gone. We hear you.
