Must be nice for them, to be all virtuous. They are rich, have large walls and private security. Completely out of touch with reality most of those people are. Many people in urban centers, particularly low income and older people want a police present as they don't feel safe with all of the crime. Crime only increases when there is less of a police presence. I think that has been fairly well documented.

Will John Legend like it when anyone can have sex with his wife whenever they want?

It is pretty cool that we will be able to just help ourselves to their expensive cars, though.
Spot on!

They really need to stay relevant? So why aren't they doing so using their "talent" instead of running their big mouths?

And those non-wealthy who support this nonsense, well, who you calling if someone comes up and robs you, or does a home invasion, or steals your property, or simple races up and down the street?

"Black communities are living in persistent fear of being killed by state authorities like police, immigration agents or even white vigilantes who are emboldened by state actors."

Should we also defund our judges, attorneys, state legislators? These are the state authorities that actually make the law/policy and carry out "justice". Police are just following the law/policy dictated by other state authorities. So isnt it actually those people that are torturing and terrorizing black folks, just black folk, not white folk, or Latino folk, or Asian folk?
