The narrative shifts...Al Sharpton says we need police to be safe


For the first time in forever, I actually agree with Sharpton!

But this too shall pass.

Too late to avoid political damage.

Not too late to push this message, gain momentum, and save lives.

They had a poll on this last month where 80% of black folk wanted the police.

This is the beginning of the establishment slowly distancing themselves from the anti-police rhetoric of BLM, and then eventually BLM itself. The alliance with BLM was always a political ploy, and now BLM and its radical agenda is becoming a liability.

Everyone knows police are essential to keeping people safe, and that addressing their wrongdoing shouldn't involve defunding police.

Just curious, since I never watch MSNBC, do they scroll captions in English across the bottom of the screen when Al Sharpton is speaking? And, does Tawana Brawley ever guest host on his show?

Me neither. Defunding the police doesnt mean to get rid of them.

Sounds like Sharpton might want to consider Trump, rather than Biden/Harris who have been in 100% for criminalizing minor things to put blacks in jail and now have been in favor of taking away police protection from black communities.

I have seen many Democrats saying we don't need the police and they should be defunded at the very least or disbanded at the very worst.

It actually does. When you take away funding, you take away the funds (money) to pay the salary of the officers. When you don't have money to pay the salaries, you have to terminate the services of the police officers. It's kinda basic math 101.

I think it means to not provide them with all the military equipment and vehicles. Police departments dont need military vehicles
