    Of course these days the biggest calls to defund law enforcement are from the Right.

    I would still say it's the left and for justifiable reasons.

    The premise of turning the BBS into a police blotter for urban minority crime to convince people for more authoritarian law enforcement is a old tactic.

    People need to just ignore these posts. Everyone should have tinman on ignore by now.

    Google's AI seems hardcore leftist now.

    So ya defend the police please. And you guys can't guilt trip me saying I want more violent crime on the streets because the data doesn't bare that out. I'll guilt trip you people by stating you are advocating for the increased funding of a fascist entity.

    Why didn’t she call a social worker?
    We can’t hold them in custody and prosecute them. That’d be racist!
    These were good boys on their way to school who dindu nuffin.

    She got what she voted for…if it’s real.
    BUT…Shivanthi Smollett might’ve faked her attack.

    Fake blood, no bruises, no cuts, no scrapes, hair is perfectly normal, taking a selfie on her “broken leg”.

    I don’t normally say this but
    **** You!
    Shivanthi is a personal friend of mine. I dont always agree with her but her views aren’t as simplistic as some random YouTubers grab for clicks

    **** you too!
    Im just sad I wasn’t there to defend her.
    We go back to raising money for the Indian Ocean Tsunami. She’s much further left than me but we respect each others position and have collaborated on addressing several
    Issues on disaster relief.

    Heck she donated to my effort to raise funds for Houston following Harvey. She doesn’t have any connections to Texas but was willing to help out and even use her political connections to try help out.

    Criminals don't care about a persons pro-woke card- they will steal and pilfer a staunch work defender like @Sweet Lou 4 2 or the others on here just as fast as anyone - your woke defending does absolutely nothing and you'll get what you vote for

    Good for you on calling out two of the four biggest shitstains in the D&D. I don't know her but prayers that it all works out.

    Still don't know what you are talking about in terms of "woke defender" or why I am even being tagged in this thread.

    I`m not for defunding the police, I am for getting better cops, I see WAY to many POS who would rather flex their muscles and take away your rights..............hell, most cops violate your rights on every traffic stop, they know it and still do it.

    I will back a good cop if and when I ever meet one, but sadly the ones I have met think their badge gives them immunity to just about anything

    I'm for defending cops because I understand the reality is that "more funding" means more MOUT houses, more armored vehicles, more tacticool gear etc.

    "Community policing" will be taught using PowerPoint slides. Those don't cost that much.


    At the end of the day making all cops wear something like the Red Dead Redemption 2 cops in St Denis( old London style cop uniforms) will make candidates who want to join because the profession has a certain bad ass aesthetic stay away.

    Make the job of law enforcement look like community work rather than Ricky recon bad ass work.
