While I think the whole “defund the police” thing is ridiculous and is most definitely being pushed by neo-communists, I think the guy that wrote this article has some serious rose-colored glasses on with regards to the state of his profession. I have no doubt that there are a heck of a lot of good cops, but for years I have been watching police forces get more militarized and engage in tactics that are unfit for a free society, no-knock raids at 3:00am as one example.

The cop in the Floyd case gave the Left just what they needed to kick off this coup because he had to keep his knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes even after the guy was handcuffed, and smirk with his hands in his pockets while he did it. Does the word “professionalism” mean anything anymore?

Me thinks you are the one with rose colored glasses..The gangs are in many cases better armed with the latest technology, many groups peddling drugs are really paramilitary in many respects..

How do you know he was smirking? Maybe that’s his normal face. Don’t you remember the kid from Covington Catholic?
