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.”

Cool.

So when are John and Natalie moving to the Bronx or Watts without their bodyguards?

It is so easy for these rich or Hollywood liberal hypocrites to shun police protection from their insulated bubbles of safety that nobody else enjoys. Living behind stout gates, riding chartered plans or in bullet proof limousines.

Maybe they should spend some time in downtown L.A. during the looting and then tell me there should be no police. Don’t forget to wear that $10,000 Rolex and lots of very expensive jewelry. See how far you make it down the street without getting robbed and beaten.

People wouldn’t be able to call 911 when McDonald’s runs out of chicken nuggets.

Legend is only a “legend” in his own mind. Can you say overrated?

The staff at “People” magazine obviously need glasses, considering he was their “Sexiest Man Alive” for 2019. He’s a very strange looking dolt.

I recently saw a picture of his wife. Someone said that she was a model?? THAT??

She is a special kind of ugly. She has a terrible figure and really needs to stop having her cheeks filled because they look as if they are ready to explode.

They make a revolting pair. Inside and out.

Please tell me this is a joke. They cannot be serious.

And what sort of America do they envision? Their private security guards will only last so long. In fact, for the treatment they must get—probably not a great salary—they just might join them and quit. To which I say, awesome. They want Armageddon, we might as well bring it on.

Sorry to be so gloomy but I am sick of this verbal garbage.

Yes, the powers that be have determined they check all the boxes of an “it” couple and since they are vociferously anti-Trump, they get rewarded for it.
She’s very strange looking and I have no idea why she’s considered a model. Gag.
It looks as if she’s had oranges implanted where her cheeks should be, and she’s just not pretty, but hey, she been anointed by the media, ya know!

I’m in full agreement as long as they specify the police to mean The Beverly Hills Police. #BoycottHollywood

What a bunch of fools and nitwits!

DANG!

Have they not seen pix of Rodeo Drive and Fairfax district? Or of Manhatten? The very places they want to be seen and noticed?

Do they think the owners and designers that own those stores appreciate the small taste they just got of ‘defunded police’ ?

“The celebs have armed security so what do they care?”

If the Police hadn't blocked off the Streets leading into the rich areas of Beverly Hills last week we might have seen just how effective the security is for these vial POS “ACTORS”. I suspect knowing what vial POS these people are security would get out of Dodge and let them fend for themselves. Being the righteous people they are I'm sure they wouldn't call the Cops to come save their vial POS asses.

Hahahaha, sometimes I crack myself up. The 911 calls these vial POS "ACTORS" would be making to save their sorry asses would be a hoot to listen too. I'd make a mix tape and sell them.

Their security force will not save them. They believe their fame and money insulate them, but it actually makes them targets.

Legend and his nasty skank wife have lived a life of luxury, due to being born semi-attractive. He’s got some talent, she doesn’t.
They are no one to be lecturing others.

“The celebs have armed security so what do they care?”

The “security” in their gated enclaves are nothing more than Paul Blart Mall Cop types who ride around “patrolling” in their zero emissions vehicles, and hit the panic button if a real threat pops up.

I would really enjoy seeing the police and NG funnel the rioters, looters, and arsonists into the Hollywood Hills and let them rampage there for 3 or 4 days. See how these limo riding liberals feel when their mansions are looted and burned to the ground, and maybe some of the same ever liberal spewing libs eliminated altogether.

lol I’d love to see that little fella Legend whimpering in fear as a bunch of animal thugs broke into his house and he had no one to call for help. His fat wife, too.
