For all you defund the policers

It so bizarre to watch and listen to the dishonest posturing and absolution of any personal responsibility by rat leaders and their media. They pivot, lie, and the little people rats just swallow like a blue whale on plankton and act as if they never heard of defunding. They are children.
I'm down with defending my property and family.
Chitty chitty bang bang indeed.
Nobody wanted to defund the police.
The "defund the police" movement, is one of reimagining the current police system to build an entity that does not violate us, while relocating funds to invest in community services.
Let’s be clear, the people who now oppose this, have always opposed calls for systematic change. https://t.co/SEh97GS9hg

The defund movement isn't new. Folks are just finally listening. "We got money for wars but can't feed the poor." #HappyBirthdayTupac #DefundPolice #FundCommunities

I believe we need to protect families who need help, and ICE isn’t doing that. It has become a deportation force. We need to separate immigration issues from criminal justice. We need to abolish ICE, start over and build something that actually works. https://t.co/JtSN68k4Fd

Instead of spending $80 billion a year on jails and incarceration, we need to be investing in more jobs and education. One thing is abundantly clear: Every police department violating people's civil rights must be stripped of federal funding. Period.

When we say #DefundPolice, what we mean is people are dying and we need to invest in people's livelihoods instead.
EXAMPLE: Detroit spent $294 million on police last year, and $9 million on health.
This is systemic oppression in numbers. pic.twitter.com/oPe0GD3D6p

Defunding the police is about rebuilding our country in the image of our people — full of humanity, love, and care. Particularly for our kids and schools. https://t.co/vLZGfaidlH

Another unarmed black man, shot in the back, by a WI police officer! No matter the outrage at the killing of George Floyd by a police officer, knee on his neck, the killing of black men continues. Is this a defiance by the police that indicates they don’t intend to stop?

This is the same Sacramento Police Department that murdered #StephonClark. The leadership of the department, and all of these officers, must be fired. Then, the department must be dismantled and policing reimagined.pic.twitter.com/c8dORCjsKG

For those who think spending more on policing works, look at St. Louis.
We spend more per capita on police than 85% of police depts, yet 68% of violent crimes go unsolved. And police kill us at the highest rate in the nation.
Police don’t need more money. Our communities do.

Defunding the police isn’t radical, it’s real. https://t.co/wUcTjxqS3w

Too many police in our country are more concerned with protecting white supremacy than serving the communities that pay their salaries. https://t.co/yDdUuw0GRv

An “accidental discharge” that kills someone has another name: manslaughter.
We don’t need police with lethal weapons carrying out routine traffic stops.
Re-allocate police funding to unarmed traffic forces to remove even the possibility of state-sanctioned manslaughter. https://t.co/AbZ4NcwCC0

The attack ads on the leftists this fall are gonna be awesome.
Trump needs to keep his big yap shut except strategic primary'ing efforts (fuck you, Liz Cheney). The TDS is triggered just by watching the Broncos or Syracuse or a road construction crew wearing orange uniforms.
Get local PD's defunded, watch crime skyrocket, call for federal help and funding, offer the solution up to desperate suburbs and cities begging for it. Chicago anyone?
Does it matter if they are "local pd" if their funding is federal? How's that working out for the school system?
You've all fallen for this shit hook line and sinker.
I've always called the bluff. My neighborhood will be fine while LA will literally burn.

Of course, the big city cops are all in on the militarization - their union is in lock step with the uniparty.
Like school boards and education, policing is a local matter. Otherwise, let's just go full on Deadwood and chitty chitty bang bang the bad guys.
