This is what the Progressives who want to do away with the police are aiming for.

I think we should have a national holiday just for cops. Makes us appreciate them more. Might even show they’re unnecessary! Just hand out the guns.

Remember, ten years ago the Brazilians, Indians, Russians, and Chinese were going to rule the world and so we might as well quite.
I remember the same thing said about the Japanese in the 80’s.
The left thrives on impending disaster.
What loathsome creatures.

The people who claim to care about “the gap between rich and poor” in the United States should take a look at Rio.
Of course, they won’t.

Ironically - that is about the same number of people who died in Chicago without the police NOT on strike...
And both are big gun control places...
Hmmmm

Let Chicago’s cops go on strike and the thugs will wipe out each other within two or three weekends. Trump won’t have to send in the military or feds. Civilized people should see the USA in their Chevrolets until the cops return.

If we get this country’s head out of its butt we’ll be dominant for the next hundred years.
