Black Lives Matter activists are calling on the Biden administration to embrace legislation brought forth by a group seeking to “abandon” police and prisons.
The BREATHE Act, introduced over the summer by ‘Squad’ members Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), has been developed by the Electoral Justice Project for the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL).
The group’s website makes clear that America “cannot achieve genuine safety and liberation until we abandon police, prisons, and all punishment paradigms.”
The Act itself, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, not only seeks to defund the police but also divest resources from incarceration and “reduce the Department of Defense budget.”
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, listed it amongst the things she “expects from the next administration.”
And she expects to see action on it almost immediately.
Many of them are, but those in the shadows directing and funding this movement are the real threat.
And now the “payback” begins!
That would allow us to eliminate them without legal fears??? I’m in!!
Good luck America.
...savages.
They want to return to being savages.
But then again AOC also wants us to return to horse and buggy days with no economy. Just like a hippy, living off of the “fat” of the land.
Idiots and savages=idiot savages.
They’re all insane: BLM/Antifa, the Squat, Biden, the Democrat Party.
Buy more ammo (BMA) if you can find any
They only want laws enforced against some people, heavily weighted towards disenfranchising “problematic” races.
South Africa 2.0, basically.

That means you!
As the investigation into George Floyd’s death has shown, drugs killed the man, not the knee on the neck.
There needs to be a massive “knee on the neck” demonstration, with dozens of people doing the procedure, so the general public can see that is not even close to deadly (provided that the ‘victim’ isn’t in the process of overdosing on dangerous drugs).
I have demonstrated to family members that the knee on the knee looks bad, but only left me (age 66) with a small bruise on the side of the head and a little soreness on my left chest for a couple of days. During the process I was able to breathe with somewhat more than normal effort. After all, the knee was on the back and side of the neck, not the front. My windpipe and arteries were pretty much unaffected during the procedure.
I noticed from the many pics that Mr Floyd, even while handcuffed was able get his right hand in a position to raise his right chest off the pavement somewhat. That alone takes some pressure off of the chest, and some of the twist off of the neck. (Mine has been abused, even fractured in the past).
Already posted, but for some reason your mental regression blog decided to cut and paste it into your blog and then use an FR thread as clickbait. Here, let me help. Enough with your stupid clickbait, posting bot.

Black Lives Matter Wants Biden to Defund the Police, Abolish Prisons
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, listed it amongst the things she “expects from the next administration.”
And she expects to see action on it almost immediately.
“We have a real opportunity to change lives with the first piece of federal legislation written by and directly for our community: The BREATHE Act,” she said.
“We are requesting that — in the first 100 days — the Biden-Harris administration works to pass this legislation,” Cullors added.
Cullors also penned a letter to Biden and Harris indicating that black people had helped them win the election and we “want something for our vote.”
The BREATHE Act is a Marxist Dream Come True
Taking a closer look at the BREATHE Act summary shows just how extreme the legislation pushed by Black Lives Matter activists on Joe Biden really is.
It not only seeks to defund the police but calls for open borders as well, a concept that would disproportionately harm the black community.
Some of the text calls for:
Developing a time-bound plan to close all federal prisons and immigration detention centers;
Repealing federal laws that criminalize human movement and border entry;
They also want police removed from schools “and government offices that provide social services” and are calling for the passing of House Resolution 40, a bill resubmitted last year by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) which would create a ‘reparations commission.’
When Cullors says she “wants something” for their vote, she’s literally suggesting payment.
Senator John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, dismissed the anti-police legislation, calling the Squad “Marxists” and saying the bill belongs in a shredder.
“I have looked at the congresswomen’s bill,” Kennedy quipped. “It is clearly a serious effort to compete in the woke Olympics. I would give it a 9.7.”
“As an American who feels gratitude, not hatred for my country though, the only way I know how to improve their bill is with a shredder.”
If defunding the police and paying for reparations wasn’t enough, Pressley is also pushing Biden to cancel student debt on “day one” of his administration.
“We are finally turning the page on this dark chapter in our history,” Pressley said in an interview with MSNBC.
“On day one, by executive order with the stroke of the pen, canceling student debt is one of the things that I’m appealing to the Biden/Harris administration to do.”
Pressley claims that canceling student debt is “a racial justice issue,” of which there is little evidence to support such a claim.
She says it would serve as its own form of stimulus.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget disagrees with that assessment.
“Student debt cancellation would be an ineffective form of stimulus,” they advise, “providing a small boost to the near-term economy relative to the cost.”
Isn’t that what the far-left Marxist movement is all about? Minor temporary relief in exchange for long-term pain?

Socialists have to completely destroy the system before they can rebuild it. They always use totalitarianism with force to do the rebuilding and enslave the masses in the process. This is all part of the plan.
Hey, posting bot. You bitched about lebron james being a bad tipper but you never tip Free Republic. What the hell??

Poll at source:
Will you support Joe Biden as president?
No, he did not earn the title and stole the election 98.47%
Yes, he has earned the title and is to be respected 1.53%
By the numbers alone it won't work. Black Africans are more than 80% of the population in South Africa. Black Americans are less than 12% of the population here. That 12% has a fraction of a percent share of power in our politics. Racist white socialists are just using Black Americans as a tool, per the norm.
True.
But I doubt the left would put that much thought into it, they only see a way towards their totalitarian utopia and modeling it off other hellholes seems to be their thing.
If Florida passes Desantis’ proposed expansion of its Stand Your Ground law, works for me. Looter suppression becomes a protected category.
These people need to be deported from this country permanently-whether they are “citizens” or not.
There are some liberal virtue signalers in my neighbord who have Black Lives Matter yard signs. Damn fools have no idea what they are really backing.
