Good point, do the Dems want to protect their financial supporters, the Police Unions........ Or protect their black supporters that are rolling over to the Republicans?

This is a winning issue for Trump and conservatives in general.

Only the hard left is buying this nonsense of defending the police and doing away with police.

Many liberals would be afraid to say so out loud, but they do not want to abolish police. This business of defending the police is a hard left race-baiting issue.

David..... Republicans must be and are the party of Americans.

The Blue cities are no longer America and haven’t been for a long time.

Tucker got it right yesterday - Democrats want total control over the police, not to defund them. They feel police departments are too full of conservatives with guns, and want to replace those individuals with their own loyalists.

The democrat controlled media deliberate miss portraying the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black. When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

“Unions will vote how they are told.

Agreed-

“The Police” is a bunch of union thugs.

Law & Order can be accomplished by The People, if the Goobermint would get out of the way.

Minnesota hard left is transforming the idea of “police” into civilian Sharia courts. Muslim community tried this in Irving TX a few years back - remember the clock boy?

We can’t have two different legal systems - we must support law enforcement according to passed laws, not the delusional interpretations by some rogue Muslim scholars.

The RNC needs to seriously get a nationwide advertising campaign going: “Never vote for ANY Democrat”. Local, County, State and Federal, the Democrats have lost all legitimacy as a political party.

I think you can be pro-police while at the same time acknowledging that there are some bad cops and some questionable policies that need addressing.

This nation was founded as a nation of law and order. When the law breaks down we cease to be the nation we are meant to be and our enemies have won their great victory.

Good point.

However, the police cannot be given a blank check, either:

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. — Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins.
Society is produced by our wants,
and government by our wickedness;

the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections,
the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices.

The one encourages intercourse,
the other creates distinctions.

The first is a patron,
the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one . . .
For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest . . . — Thomas Paine,Common Sense (1776)
As a general matter skepticism - neither cynicism nor naiveté - is prudent.
Skepticism is doubly prudent when the institution in question is a necessary evil at best.

Umm...NO.

Union cops and union teachers and union gov workers and college perfessers have made their beds.

Now, they’ve got to sleep in their crap. No pity for them. None.

They want to DEFUND the police, not DEFEND them.
