How does a political party (Democrat) who worships and embraces big government and government dependence be so hateful toward police officers? Aren't the police part of a government system? Think about it now.

Meh, there's a lot of inconsistency on both teams. That's because they don't have principles...just the illusion of them. It's all about maintaining and growing power so that you can legally steal and oppress as you see fit.

Blue says wear your mask/stay home but go now it's fine to go out and protest because "racism". Blue says climate change bad but they fly around in their private jets.

Red says gun laws bad but Trump supports red flag laws and banned bump stocks. Red says capitalism good but Trump's bailouts and tariffs ok.

It's all a game for them to get their hands on your wallet.

Not sure why folks continue to play it but here we are.

Gives people who are scared of White people schadenfreude at the prospect of destroying society.

Temporarily validates the choice to be extremely dumb (before things actually go to hell).
Unbelievable!! The Constitution doesnt even give the govt authority to create or enforce 'drug laws'.


I think maybe you support these laws because you disagree with using drugs, therefore NO ONE else should be allowed to either...Am I right?


Also, keep in mind, in supporting the drug laws, you are on the same side as the drug cartels...they dont want drug legalized either, So how does that feel, knowing you share the opinion with a criminal cartel?

"What exactly does “defund the police” accomplish?"

Easy answer; more crime.

What's happening with these protests, are so bad, they are actually making the case FOR police brutality. Sorry I'd rather tolerate a few cases of police brutality in cases almost entirely in civil "disobedience", than lose the whole damn country, police entirety, and have the left rule through violence, mobs and rioting.

Absolutely nothing. I agree that more training is needed and probably on a more frequent basis, depending on the LEOs area of speciality.

The fact that police have acted so bravely in relation to terrorist attacks including 9/11 as well as running towards armed attackers and danger seems to have been forgotten and those actinbs have quickly been forgotten in favour of a new narrative spread by the left.

You’re on your own.

What exactly is this movement trying to accomplish?
These are also the same people who want to take guns away from law-abiding citizens.
Think on that for a moment.
They want chaos and anarchy.
Why would they want that?
Who is really pulling the strings and putting these ideas out there?
It's NOT the ignorant people you see shouting these things. It's NOT their ideas.
They're simply parroting, like good little pawns.
Again, who is really pulling the strings...?
One wonders.

This is an organized fifth column movement. These same types of "protests" are occuring in other western countries as well. Use some critical thinking skills and process it.

Release felons from prisons and then neuter the cops. Sounds like a winning strategy for sure...........

On another note, this moronic idea shouldn't even be up for discussion right now. I thought this country didn't negotiate with terrorists..................
