John Legend, Natalie Portman Other Celebs Sign Letter to Defund Police (Jane Fonda too of course)
Breitbart ^ | June 02 2020 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 06/02/2020 11:35:59 PM PDT by knighthawk

Singers John Legend and Lizzo, and actresses Natalie Portman and Taraji P. Henson are among the Hollywood celebrities who’ve signed a letter pushing the defunding all police departments in the wake of the police involved death of Minneapolis man George Floyd.

The open letter claims that in 2017, $194 billion was spent on the police by America’s various governments even as police have “continued profiling, harassment, terror and killing of Black communities.”

-

The letter — which was also singed by Common, Jane Fonda, America Ferrera, Brie Larson, ACLU executive director Anthony Romero — goes on to insist that the money spent on police would be better spent on “building healthy communities,” or to go “to the health of our elders and children, to neighborhood infrastructure, to education, to childcare, to support a vibrant Black future.”

Black “communities” are mostly being killed by their feral blacks.

If a ‘celebrity’ has a nice rack., I might care what they say... a little.
That’s their ‘money maker’. It’s all of their significance, and they know it.
Jane is too old.

Cops should just announce a stand-down weekend...two days, where everyone has the flu.

It’s all part of the Communist playbook. Once they do that, they will put Antifa terrorists in charge of all law enforcement and try to kill every one of us, and there will be no protests, no protesters, and anyone that gets out of line will be killed. This is all lies and a means to an end. The care about no one but their own desire to be at the top of the Communist party so they can dictate and not have to deal with all the lower level Communists, who they will then start culling and label as inferior. These Communists are so stupid that they don’t even know what Communism is.

Their signature is their stupidity... otherwise, how would you recognise them? As in, “John Legend, I know it is you because of the stupidity gushing from your mouth. But say some more stupid things so I absolutely know you’re not an impostor.”

Brie Larson does, but she’s a miserable POS so it doesn’t matter.

The Antifa are dreaming of the day when they’ll be the new Chekists.

So many would lose that bright future with no police to arrest them. They will end up just dead.

What do these people propose to replace the police? Militias? Regional war lords? Military Governors? How about the courts? Should we replace them with tribunals? Upon the decision of a tribunal in a capital case, should there be no appeal with executions carried out immediately? There’s a lot that they haven’t considered it seems.

But, but, who would investigate all those fake racial hate crimes that happen every other week? Jussie Smollett would be devastated.

All these ‘celebrities’ are as influential as their ability to stick out their boobs and their behinds.

I can appreciate that. What they have to say though - not so much.

Yeah, that’s all we need. Mobsters and warlords “protecting” neighborhoods instead of the police.

Can’t say I’ve wasted much time with the work of most of these celebs over recent years.

Or just a 24 hour Purge every year. But I could endorse your 48 hour solution.

The left wants all local police to be abolished, to be replaced with a national police force like the KGB that will go after people for “political crimes.”

Too hardcore communists in that bunch of rotten bananas. Fonda, Hanoi Jane, we know about. Romero most don’t know was an active supporter of a number of Communist Party legal fronts and activities. There might be a list of them at www.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org.

Can Breitbart go one day without posting the moronic tweets of D list celebrities?

John Legend had one or two good songs; the real reason his status has been elevated in the past few years is his virulent anti-Trump tirades. He and his “supermodel” wife, who looks like an alien from another planet, are continually rewarded with media appearances and magazine spreads since they advance the cause and are a photogenic mixed-race couple, so the media has dictated.
Had anyone ever heard of John Legend 5 years ago? He’s a useful tool.
