Again proof? show me the violent cops? But when you find such proof post entire video so you see what lead up to such events, the event and the after. Not just a snapshot of what you want us to see.

Why not call it Reform the Police and tweak bad strategies that are bad for cop and citizen? If the best slogan Democrats can come up with at a time of mass unrest with looting and random violence is to Defund Police they really need to use a different marketing group. It's stupid to the point I think Russia thought it up.

It’s been all over, every day. You can’t avoid seeing the violent acts they’ve been committing, shooting, shoving, ramming, who cares what you want to pretend “led up to it” that would insinuate you think it’s justified. You have your heart set on your continuing with your ways that don’t work.

My adding more links won’t make you see something you don’t want to.

Just stick to your “first hand account from the tv.”

Maybe we should have the police stop arresting people for passing counterfeit twenty dollar bills. That way, events like the recent tragedy could have been averted.

Believe me they would never arrest me for passing a counterfeit $20 bill ...because nobody has ever once in my life checked to see if the $20 bill was counterfeit. Maybe a $50, definitely $100. If it was, they would ask for another form of payment, of that I can be sure.

That’s the point.

Just like never has a Walmart greeter asked to see my receipt when I’m leaving, I wouldn’t stop anyway...but they do ask the black people.

True public support to defund Police is Fake News.

Because most of the Public are sane, good, smart-enough, and without ill intent.
CD is very right leaning. try going to reddit and it'll be closer to 27 for defunding and -3 against. yes, that's negative three to show how left leaning reddit is.

I'm a 56 yr old white, blonde woman, and i get asked by a walmart employee to see my receipt anytime i have an unbagged item in my cart (like a large bag of cat food or a gallon of iced tea) along with bagged items and am leaving the store...
The employees are not being racist to want to check that items were paid for.
