MSNBC's Tiffany Cross Show Pushes Abolition of Police--and Capitalism
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

So it's not just about the abolition of policing. It's about the abolition of capitalism itself. That was the message on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday. Will Cross applaud when Comcast is nationalized into Comrade?

Cross began the segment by airing a brief clip of the last moments of Jamal Sutherland, a mentally ill person who resisted deputies attempting to remove him from his cell to attend a bond hearing, and died after the deputies pepper-sprayed and tased him.

Cross then asked MSNBC contributor Brittany Packnett Cunningham whether policing can be reformed. Cunningham answered, "in short, no... That is not a system that can be reformed." Instead of being reformed, Cunningham said that policing "can only be replaced with a true vision for public safety."

Frequent MSNBC guest Gyasi Ross -- a Native American radical using the Twitter handle @BigIndianGyasi -- embraced Cunningham's view, saying that she had "laid the broad picture very, very eloquently and that’s exactly right. This system is untenable."

But Ross took things a step further, claiming:

"The way our capitalism, the way our system is set up, that is what we are going to continue to get is these little crumbs on the table that will encourage and indeed, will require these casualties of brown and black lives."

MSNBC: defund the police. And while we’re at it, let’s get rid of capitalism, too!

They want abolition of local police.
They want a national police force (Gestapo) that has extraordinary power and no emotional ties to the community.

Rome did this — raise a legion in Syria, send it to Gaul and say “These people worship the wrong gods — burn their villages, kill the people.” It’s all in a day’s work for the Imperial police force.

Cunningham essentially says the purpose of the police is not to protect “us”, it is to protect white people FROM “us”.

In that, she is correct.

I guess they never did any reading about N Korea or Cuba, etc.

And probably never met anyone from former Soviet Union or satellite countries.

I have.

Abolish capitalism and rule of law at your own peril. Why?

Nature (and politics) abhors a vacuum. SOMEONE will immediately step in once you get rid of formal, organized government and law.

It will NOT be someone you want to take control.

They lie. They want a police force. It would be a force totally under the control of the democrat party. It would be a national police, eliminating all local police forces.

Its main purpose would be to allow antifa/blm to change the country fundamentally. It would allow them to do whatever they want. It would arrest people for not complying with the latest mask edict from 5 minutes ago that changed the edict from yesterday which was a change to last week’s. Among other things.

Ok, Tiffany, let’s begin abolishing capitalism by abolishing MSNBC. You go first.

That’s why they use secret police in communist countries - so no one will know!

"They lie. They want a police force. It would be a force totally under the control of the democrat party. It would be a national police, eliminating all local police forces."

A lot of us are catching on to that. Proof? Just see what's going on in DC - an unprecedented security buildup in response to a single riot that caused comparatively little damage and killed no one. That in turn has led to "penumbras and emanations" such as the military purge of "extremists" and further hysteria about the grave danger posed by millions of "white supremacists."

And the FBI is spending months poring over every inch of the January 6th video footage to arrest as many people as possible - even some who were doing nothing more than standing around taking pictures - just to pad the numbers. The whole thing is being done for partisan political purposes, to build a narrative against Republicans in general and Trump supporters in particular. .

Once my ex asked sarcastically “Why should I love you?” I said “You gave me everything else”.

The next one asked seriously “Why should I marry you?” My reply: There are a lot worse guys out there”.

Or let a poor white from Appalachia break into her place.

How much are willing to wager that she does not live in the middle of the ‘hood but in a nice gated very white neighborhood?
