Trump: There won't be any defunding of police

The Hill ^ | 06/08/20 03:51 PM EDT | BRETT SAMUELS

No, please, please let them de-fund the Minneapolis
police. Just for say 30 days.

My prediction is Trump wins big and sweeps the repubs into a mjority in the house.

I can appreciate your positive attitude, but I believe you will be wrong about the latter. And I don't think it will even be close. For example, I see little reason why the GOP takes back any of the House seats stolen by the DEMs in 2018 in California.

The GOP has a sizeable seat deficit to overcome. The massive voter fraud coming in November, which some worry will be used to defeat Trump, is much more likely to help the DEMs keep the House and retake the Senate.

I’ve read the Hill for more than a decade, and the article reads fair. John Solomon who retired from the Hill has his own projects on the pipeline and just because one reporter sounds lefty does not mean the entire org is fake news central. I know the difference.

[cloudmountain]

Law and Order is, traditionally, a winning campaign strategy.
If, somehow, the Dems went ahead and got rid of the police force in places like Minneapolis, I can’t imagine why anyone would every pay for beer or liquor, or why you wouldn’t mug someone outside an ATM.
Voters can choose between Approach A or Approach B. Sure, the thugs will love Approach B. But we are not 51% thug.

Thugs don't vote.

1. One has to READ first. I suspect that many of them are semi-literate.

2. They have to read ABOUT those issues. Even if the thugs read they won't care about the "why" of most issues. Why would they? Most things on the city ballot are ONLY to get more money from the tax payers and home owners and since the thugs don't PAY taxes and for them homes are for burglarizing, these are non-issues.

3. Also, some states preclude voting rights for felons.

**That's THREE STRIKES!

Trump plays these moronic dipshits like a fiddle.....LOL

[bankwalker]

The police exist to protect the low lifes from us. They’re just too stupid to know it.

[Williams]

They will turn this country into an armed camp.

[RummyChick]

Yeah..but....

NYPD unions blasting emails to their members basically telling them to do nothing, because doing their jobs according to policy will most likely see them prosecuted.

@BilldeBlasio
has to resign or be removed from office by whichever legal mechanism is applicable.

[Steve Van Doorn]

if the democrats got their way and done away with police and law we could go back to citizen patrols and citizen law enforcement. Antifa /anarchist wouldn't exist in a short time.
Ironically. The police are protecting antifa.

I do not know why we haven't made Antifa a terrorist organization yet

[Seaplaner]

If these cities try to disband or defund their police agencies, they won’t be getting any Federal funds or grants for whatever they replace them with. Law enforcement agencies are usually accredited, and they have to pass various guidelines, and adopt specific procedures, etc. to become accredited. You won’t get Federal funds if you’re not an accredited agency.

Yes, this.

And, if any state (or city) chooses to defund, even partially, their law enforcement responsibilities, or if they choose to saddle law enforcement with foolish legal requirements or make them unusually liable for torte suits...

...DEFUND THE STATE!

(Or city or whathaveyou.)

There’s a very well-experienced private-sector organization that could be contracted for protective services. It started back in the middle of the 19th century in Sicily; and has branch offices all over America. They know how to protect neighbourhoods, as they say, it’s ‘this thing of ours’.

[DoodleDawg]

It’s a state and local issue. Nothing Trump can do about it.

[DoodleDawg]

"That means cutting of police. That means reducing police departments. That means defunding police departments, if not getting rid of them entirely," she said. "No, [Trump] doesn’t agree with that."

That's going to happen to one extent or another anyway as state and local governments have to cut spending to match reduced revenues. So the Democrats can use that as cover for cutting the police to the levels they want.

[apoliticalone]

“If I was advising him I’d suggest that he just let them do their thing and get the campaign people started on the TV ads.’

Bingo! As much as I love Trumps policies I think his ego sometimes makes it too easy for him get ahead of his skis on such issue as “defund the cops”. Twitter “autonimity” makes it easy to publish stuff not discussed and fully debated.

Don’t forget the entire establishment media world etc connives on how to take him down. He needs to have things thought 200% thru by more than him before pushing send. Better to send nothing at all for now than something that the vultures will attack. What I like about Tucker is he gives constructive criticism.

And no I don’t want to hear that Trump can not be criticized. We all have a stake in his reelection.

[Brilliant]

They aren’t going to do it. They are simply going to talk about doing it. They CERTAINLY won’t do it before the election.

[basalt]

i agree...PLEASE PLEASE DO IT!!!...the carnage will be spectacular...

[Blooms in CA]

Yes, he keeps climbing in the polls.

[basalt]

and dont worry...theres already POLICE REFORMS whether these criminals want it or not...bet your ass cops will not stick their necks out after all this garbage....do your 8 hours and go home...let the public handle it all themselves.

[DownInFlames]

It’s a state and local issue. Feds have no action outside of $$$$.

[A_Former_Democrat]

And not let it die

Let them commit suicide Mr President
