The Protests Come for ‘PAW Patrol’
The New York Times ^ | June 10, 2020 | Amanda Hess

A backlash is mounting against depictions of “good cops,” on television and in the street.

It was only a matter of time before the protests came for “Paw Patrol.”

“Paw Patrol” is a children’s cartoon about a squad of canine helpers. It is basically a pretense for placing household pets in a variety of cool trucks. The team includes Marshall, a firefighting Dalmatian; Rubble, a bulldog construction worker; and Chase, a German shepherd who is also a cop. In the world of “Paw Patrol,” Chase is drawn to be a very good boy who barks stuff like “Chase is on the case!” and “All in a police pup’s day!” as he rescues kittens in his tricked-out S.U.V.

But last week, when the show’s official Twitter account put out a bland call for “Black voices to be heard,” commenters came after Chase. “Euthanize the police dog,” they said. “Defund the paw patrol.” “All dogs go to heaven, except the class traitors in the Paw Patrol.”

I’m not even going to comment on this situation until I know what Alyssa Milano thinks of the situation because, like, she knows EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING!

That’s it. My grandson loves Paw Patrol. He’s mixed race, btw.

Enough with the censorship because the fascists are truly inside gates.

The Left is at war with anything and anyone not completely in line with Leftist orthodoxy. Now they’re fighting cartoon characters. As Michael Savage says, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”

I have grandaughters that are 5 and 7. They loved watching Paw Patrol and it gave their mom some time to get some work done and drink her coffee. It is long past time to tell these folks who are continually offended by everything to grow up. If you don’t like it, turn it off. They don’t need to watch it. They are all little tin-pot dictators.
