Democrats love teachers, even when they fail. And they hate the police, no matter how much good they do. But they do each for the very same reason: control. It is important conservatives begin to recognize this reason so they can counter it before it’s too late.
When teachers fail, and across the country they fail in large numbers and for generations, what is the response from Democrats? They need more money. School systems have been failing children, generally in Democrat controlled cities, for decades, and every single time test results are announced the solution proposed by those Democrats and Democrats all the way up to Washington is we need to spend more money on those schools and increase teacher pay.
Democrats act as though there is some magical spending amount that will make their incompetent educational bureaucracy work or bad teachers suddenly turn good. As if the only thing holding back bad teachers from caring to do their jobs well is an extra zero on their paychecks.
Still, it doesn’t matter how long or deep the failure, more money is promised and spent. Washington prints it up and delivers it, always with strings attached. More money, more control from DC.
When anything fails in policing, the answer is the exact opposite from the same people. “Defund the police,” they cry. Budgets are cut, jobs are lost over incidences that, if we’re being honest, were brought on in most cases by the people the left-wing mob turns into martyrs.
As police budgets are cut, the ability of police to do their crucial jobs is reduced. Crime naturally, increases, as if by design. And it is.
There will never be a place for no police, and Democrats don’t want no police, they just want to control them. As local police and their ability to do their jobs are reduced by budget cuts and capitulating Democrat prosecutors, the federal government will step in with regulations and new funds to fill in the cracks. Even cities where this “defund the police” idiocy hasn’t and won’t catch on will be hard-pressed to resist the money and unable, should Democrats pack the courts, resist the regulations.
Democrats will have successfully federalized local policing, all in the name of “justice” and “equity.”
Teachers fail and they get more money, police have isolated and incredibly rare issues fitting a pre-established liberal narrative and the get less. Money is the means, control is the goal.
Control is always the goal.
Did you really think those liberal prosecutors who refuse to bring BLM-ANTIFA rioters to justice were acting on behalf of some moral code? Try to murder police officers with bricks or burning the building they’re in and any charges you would face are dropped, if they’re brought in the first place. Defend your home and you can forget the book, the library is thrown at you.
The law abiding are the targets of prosecutors, as are law enforcement. There are a lot of things that can be said about the George Floyd case, none of which rise to the level of second-degree murder. Yet that is what Derek Chauvin is charged with. A second-degree manslaughter charge may well be justified in the death of Daunte Wright, but 2 dayslater without an investigation of what appears to be a horrible accident? Never mind the resisting of arrest in both cases, which was the only reason either death occurred.
Yet, in the face of evidence that justified the use of force (though it’s debatable about the amount of force used), Democrat politicians denounced the police instantly. A 13-year-old with a gun shot down and the officer is a symbol of “systemic racism,” with no question of why a pre-pubescent child was out at that hour on a school night with someone old enough to drink who was allegedly shooting at a passing car.
No rational person would act the way liberals do in these cases unless they wanted something else out of it. Something they won’t ask for directly because they know they wouldn’t get it under normal circumstances. So they create abnormal circumstance.
Same in education – no in-person school for a year, more money for “education.” The end result is more strings attached from Washington, more money in the coughers of unions, more money to donate to Democrats. The circle of life on the left continues.
Control, through the spending of money or through its denial, that’s what this is all about. Federalizing education (more than it already is), and federalizing police (same). Maybe Republicans don’t see it, maybe they don’t want to see it. Or maybe many of them don’t care.
But Democrats care, and care deeply. None of this is by accident, nothing is coincidental. If Republicans don’t grow spine soon and put a stop to it, there will be no putting a stop to it at all.
Democrats like teachers? Like them to do what, work? When was that? Democrat teachers don’t teach, and have little to teach. They are self important failures, if they follow the failed ideology of today’s Democrats. If they follow the screeching insane Woke ideology of the Left, they are enemies of Humanity. Boring, predictable decline.
Police unions have supported democrats for 40 years.
Eat your peas.
When you fire the police and get in trouble who you gonna call.....social workers with bouquets?
“When you fire the police and get in trouble who you gonna call.....social workers with bouquets?”
My immediate reaction to your post was, “you’ll just have to handle it yourself”. Then I realized that there will be just enough police left to prosecute YOU!
close. they will be social justice warriors fully trained in critical race theory.
BLM with guns.
It's called personal responsibility. When people accept that responsibility, they will realize that police and teachers are rarely worthy of putting on a pedestal. Police and teachers are normal people doing normal jobs and require no special treatment, pay or benefits. Both make mistakes and when they do they should be fired - just like any other job. When they do an excellent job, they should receive bonuses or increased pay. Just recognized that not all teachers or police can be excellent.
Their unions need to abolished, as should all public service unions. Public monies should not go to advocate for public employees. There needs to be tension between the public (their employers) and government employees, just like there is tension between employers and employees in the private sector. It keeps people focused on the job at hand. When that occurs you get better education and better public safety. It won't be perfect, but that is when you take personal responsibility to make sure your needs are met.
Among teachers... How long does it take for the workforce to turn over? I don’t know but I’m sure the answer is decades. So what happens when you throw money at a unionized workforce that has near-zero accountability? Answer: the incompetents among them take the money and demand more.
My former MiL was an English teacher nearing retirement. She hated her job, bitched about the kids & really hated the administration. Then the new Democrat governor came out with a major pay bump. I asked her, “So? What are your retirement plans?” The answer was that she was staying another 3 years. (Retirement pay was based on the average of the highest 3 years). Suddenly I was sure what kind of teacher she was... The deadwood kind.
What I’ve been wondering is when it will be a crime for a white person uses deadly force when attacked by a “person of color”?
“What I’ve been wondering is when it will be a crime for a white person uses deadly force when attacked by a “person of color”?”
Now. Remember George Zimmerman? They’ll do everything they can to make it a crime even if it isn’t. Here’s another example from a later post:

What about rank and file cops?
Defunding teachers will come after the cops/police are Defunded.
FORBES -At Least 13 Cities Are Defunding Their Police Departments:
At least 13 U.S. cities have cut funding from police department budgets or decreased officer numbers with several more in the process.
Austin, Texas, is the latest city to announce a police defunding effort, with the City Council on Thursday voting unanimously to cut $150 million (roughly one third) from the police budget
Austin’s announcement closely follows the sweeping budget change approved by Seattle—a $3.5 million budget cut . The country’s two largest cities, New York and LosAngeles, approved budget cuts weeks after protests began—New York slashed $1 billion from its $5.6 billion operating budget while Los Angeles approved a $150 million budget cut from its budget. Also in California, San Francisco approved a $120 million cut to the police and sheriff’s department

Democrats are making everyone’s families less safe except for their Dem elites with their own protection forces.
What will the Super Rich Elites, do when their blue city mayors replace their city cops with Sharia Muslims and other social workers with BLMers/Antifas?
Those Elites will hire our unemployed and well trained former Special Ops people. Who are no longer wanted in our worthless SJW/PC military.
These former SpecOps, when hired, will handle any protection issues their super rich Elites might need 24/7. That will include special preventive action as well as ‘neutralizing’, when needed.
These former special ops in their new areas of action, will operate, react and control/end any issues without any problems from so called local cops/DA’s, mayors and the local mediots in the local media.
The blue city mayors and city council members will welcome these Special Ops People, while slashing their city budgets and eliminating their regular police. Their costs will be minimized and their budgets will be balanced.
How many mayors/governors in Blue States/Cities would get rid of their police forces in a New York minute, if they were not opposed by their elites, who control them????
These former special ops guys might even protect members of Congress from Deploreables if they are needed like on 6 January, this past year in our capitol building in DC.
After the cops are defunded, the bloated school budgets will be defunded by the blue cities. Teaching online will be the new standard on blue cities.
