    Most minorities are wage workers in the US and most minorities don't really like the US police culture.

    You been to Seattle or Portland ?
    I’m not generalizing
    I’m calling out specific cities

    If we defund the police who will arrest Trump confidants?

    Don't believe abbott can even do this (think it requires the Texas legislature)... but so much for concept of local government and control...

    It grinds your gears to see a Republican go BIG GOVT on the cities that didn't vote for him.

    I used to live in Beaverton for a short time and we used to go into Portland a lot. With the exception of one black guy I saw at a restaurant once, the only time I saw any black people was when I went to the Blazers/Rockets game there. It's a really white area, some Asians mixed up. 20+ years ago anyway.

    Do these people count as Minorities since they OWN BUSINESSES?

    @rocketsjudoka @Os Trigonum

    Don't worry, it's NOT STATE MEDIA like LOCAL MEDIA.

    Asian business owner (is that a minority)

    African American owner (does he qualify as a minority)


    Nobody cares about businesses until they leave. nothing to destroy or burn.

    I guess it'll have to be the postal service.

    Not exactly defunding the police but a way to encourage community policing. Great idea.

    Could be a cop (not at all the first time) shooting those cops. A munchkin cop (not the first time).

    I couldn’t be a police officer, If I’m hit and still breathing, I’d be throwing lead down range even if the animal is running away
