The logical flaw with "defund the police" is that BLM is fundamentally about economic opportunity. But if you remove the police, and hence cripple the legal system, you destabilize the economy. That's why many people stopped listening when "defund the police" became a slogan -- they're not going to support a BLM movement at the expense of an economic collapse. Hence, Obama is correct.

The left may catch on. The Marxist Communist eat their own including Obama.

I thought what Obama said in that segment was spot on. I don't know how people can see it any other way.

The slogan has been around for decades.

Presently, it seems to be repeated most often by some conservative media who seem to enjoy using a broad brush.

Not surprising. Obama has a balanced, sensible view of this issue. The BLM organization...not so much.

But wasn't Obama considered a radical Marxist by many in GOP not even that long ago?

I've personally always known Obama to be a centrist Neo-liberal but it's funny how to took BLM going after him for people to realize this. I guess this is one of those "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" type of situations.

These people both praising Obama and condemning him for his comments about defund the police are completely missing what he's saying.

If you take what he said and really read it, I mean give it a think, the whole thing he said was code for keep doing what you're doing, but be smarter about it, be sneakier.

Essentially be smarter about pushing your agenda.

Then you've got people like the squad members that are really just dumber than a bag of hammers, I mean just dumb.

Even others saying that he's a "moderate" now for saying that really missed it as well.

LOL, these people missed the forest for the trees man, I swear.

The thing is this. Trump has lost and blm has won. BLM will be looking for new enemies. Will be looking at you democrats. And the woke people will be coming after asians and Hispanics next, as well as you straight toxic black men.
