Celebrities Push to ‘Defund Police’ (including Rashida Tlaib)
Breitbart ^ | May 31 2020 | DAVID NG

Actress Susan Sarandon is among a growing number of Hollywood and entertainment figures who are promoting an effort to defund of police forces even as rioters continue to lay siege to major cities around the country by setting fires and destroying private and public property.

The demands to defund the police gained momentum on Twitter on Sunday as celebrities and other influencers began amplifying the call to their thousands of followers. The hashtags have also been promoted by Black Lives Matter and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

Susan Sarandon is the most prominent celebrity so far to call for defunding police forces, echoing a similar demand by the Sunrise Movement, a far-left climate-change activist group.

“Celebrities Push to ‘Defund Police’ (including Rashida Tlaib)”

And what will they do after the police are banned and someone is breaking their door down. “911..please help me someone is breaking in”... Sorry, 911 is no later a working number.

So if we defund the police, whom are they going to call when mobs are looting their mansions?

That’s funny. The celebrities call the cops when people walk along the easement to the beach. Once they can’t call the cops, what will they do? Ha!

This whole thing has been fascinating to coin a phrase.

I am not an expert on The French Revolution or how The Bolsheviks came to power but I was always surprised just how well organized they were.

I never realized how Satanism really operates. They are not some disorganized group of radicals. A Communist friend of mine once told me that it was deeper than I realized.

I have to remind myself that he does not win in the end.

Hello this is the police station.
We’d love to help you but we have been defunded. There will be a $1,000,000 service fee for each visit.

Lol! Sure the leftards are calling for this while they have enough money to buy security for themselves. The net result of this defunding will be all out chaos and murder for those they claim to be helping.

I’ll field that one. They will call their armed private security.

But the wealthier ones will have their own armed bodyguards (yes, Rosie O’Donnell, I’m talking about you). So for them, no phone call will be necessary.

Your city can have a police force, which must provide their own equipment and vehicles at their own expense without receiving a salary, pension, health care benefits, compensation for injuries in the line of duty, or any other public support. Presumably, the second amendment no longer applies either, so you cannot buy a gun nor ammunition nor use any such gun to defend yourself, your family, your property, or your neighbors. Government agents with salaries and benefits still can arrest you for attending church, violating social-distancing edicts, operating an honorable enterprise, opposing the killing of babies, or jogging without wearing a mask or supporting Communism.

Don’t like that proposition? Well, vote these tyrants away from office at the next election. Wherever you live, vote Trump to save lives, even if some Democrat snuffs out yours.
