we're already seeing it starting.
who in their right mind would want to be a cop in this climate where even doing exactly the right thing gets one branded as a 'racist,' and nearly every incident involving a non-white suspect and a white cop is instantly branded by the MSM and most leftists as 'racist' despite not an iota of evidence?

1,3,4.

At our weekly liberal masked zoom calls, we make sure we will all be in agreement to deflect and state that it is basically the fault of Republicans and that more government is needed to solve any issue that may arise. Amen and awoman.

First let's have some specific examples of cops doing "exactly the right thing" and getting "branded as a 'racist,'" as you allege.


HINT: In a civilized society, kneeling on a handcuffed, unarmed man for 9+ minutes while your colleagues sit and do nothing is not considered "exactly the right thing".

I hope some cops do quit. I hope there is more stringent training, and I hope the officers who remain are OK wearing body cams, and report fellow officers who act poorly. Transitions and improvements in any group of people are never easy.

First no one is asking for the reduction in police staff. They are only asking for the police to conduct themselves like the public defenders they are paid to be. Stop profiling people of color and social status. Stop shooting to kill first and then asking questions later. And stop employing folks that are afraid of their job.

I'm curious what the people on the left think is going to happen when you have mass exods of policing and law enforcment in general.

I mean the stats don't lie.

Mayor D bag Garcetti here in LA is already scrambling to rehire police after they cut the police budget here. You won't hear that in the MSM, but it's happening.

Same with Minneapolis, they are scrambling to get LEO back because they are too stupid to see past their politically biased beaks to realize what is going to happen and the resulting spike in crimes.

Again, Fredo and Lemonhead on CNN won't talk about this stuff much, if at all, so the lefties get to live in La La land and think that social workers for policing is just fine.

Meanwhile in the poor minority communities death tolls are rising... ain't no one on the west side of LA with their private security patrolling their neighborhoods are having any problems though......

Are you really going to say the bolded with a straight face? Just go google things like defund the police or some version of that and you'll find plenty of examples of people calling for defunding the police.

Gaslight much???
