De-Policing: The Handmaiden of Socialism
American Thinker.com ^ | June 8, 2020 | Eileen F. Toplansky

Even though socialism is "arguably the most discredited idea in history," as Dinesh D'Souza writes in his United States of Socialism, far too many are drawn to it like a moth to fire. Consider that the left and the Democrat Party are hell-bent to take away our Second Amendment since a citizenry stripped of its ability to protect itself will be easier to subdue. Moreover, the innate totalitarianism of socialism demands obliteration of memory and we now see American monuments being defaced or utterly destroyed.

There are still those who would embrace the perverse ideology of socialism — no matter that the National Socialism of Hitler lasted from 1933 to 1945, resulting in millions of dead. These purveyors of this destructive ideology are indifferent to the tragedies of African nations who embraced socialism in the aftermath of colonial rule. It matters not a whit that "Maoist socialism represented a disastrous alloy of deprivation, starvation and tyranny."

As D'Souza writes, "socialism is the ideology of thieves and tyrants." We are seeing this played out in cities across America as looters wildly run from store to store stealing what others have sweated to produce and sell. And the leftist leaders in Democratic- controlled cities countenance this theft and up the ante by calling for the de-policing of America.

In 2018, Steve Pomper wrote De-Policing America: A Street Cop's View of the Anti-Police State. Pomper was compelled to write the book because "many American cities are forcing their cops to undergo leftist political indoctrination and squelching the free speech rights of officers who speak against it. Seattle has implemented its radical left agenda through the insidious Race and Social Justice Initiative (RSJI)."

Yeah get rid of your police than stand-by while your city is really overrun by gun-toting criminals.

It is rumored that Virginia’s Northam is again going to try and ban Aks, ARs and anything else scary to the Left in a special session in August. Northern Virginia and Richmond business is dying under continuing phase one severe restrictions. What might Northam be contemplating if he can disarm the populace.

There will always be police. In the brave new world they will not have badges and look a lot like a street gang or a mob.

If they are going to ban the police then how will they enforce the ban on guns?

Good luck MN, you deserve the government you voted for.

“and look a lot like a street gang or a mob.”

I think they will look more like the gestapo.

Socialism appeals to people who are mostly driven by their emotions (it only makes sense on an emotional level) which is why it appeals to young people and immature adults.

Let it go hot.

Socialists are like children making demands like "no homework" or "no more chores."

Sometimes it is better to just let them have their way (i.e., "no more chores, no more allowance").

Minnesotans will quickly realize that "no police" doesn't work when there is no law and order...and no civilized life.

Democrats and guns and black crime

1. Black on Black crime statistics by city is very high—murder, rape, burglary, shoplifting, etc

2. Cities and States with the toughest gun control laws have high crime rates.

3. Cities with the most looting and rioting during May-June 2020 have tough gun laws .

4. The Democrat game plan is to ‘fundamentally transform’ America by taking guns away from all citizens.

Finding the statistics to back up these premises is not all that easy. Far too much of the reporting on the above topics is politicized.

My own theory is:

The Democrats have instituted tough gun control laws in cities with a lot of blacks in order to keep the crime statistics high. If the black community is not allowed to protect themselves, then who is there to stop murder, rape, burglary, shoplifting, etc.

The blacks are simply pawns in the Democrat war to ‘fundamentally transform’ America

Who will take the place of the police?
Social workers LOL LOL!!! Where will those Social Workers come from?

How about Black Panthers and Muslims empowered by Sharia Law and our constitution abandoned in garbage cans across Minneapolistan and then Minnesotastan!

They will introduce Sharia law as the law of Minneapolistan and later of Minnesotastan!

Sharia Police. The Muslim sectors are ready for this. The city council will fund them as “Community Mental Health” organizations. (thanks to flamberge for this insight!)

Black Panthers have worked so well in the past in Oakland and _________________.(fill in blank with city of choice!)

Minneapolistan citizens, choose from:

1) Pay the dhimmi and you will be protected by the Sharia Patrols or Black Panthers knocking on your doors.
2) Special 80% off deal if you convert!
3) Lifetime supply of Bricks, free delivery!

The NEW police force will be comprised of BLM, Black Panther, and ANTIFA members. These noble LEOs will come knocking at our doors and politely ask us to turn over any and all weapons, e.g., kitchen knives, bats, pipes, sticks, sling shots, and (horrors) guns.

Progressives: “Hey, let’s pull out the police. We can get more blacks killed, and we can blame the right-wingers. Kills two birds with one stone.”
