Ben & Jerry's, the ice cream company, is calling on Americans to defund and dismantle the so-called "racist" police. The company made the demand in a tweet that included an image of ice cream representing the country's police budget being scooped into smaller bowls representing various welfare programs, like "affordable housing" and "substance-abuse treatment." The same company that can't figure out how to get glyphosate, the weed-killing ingredient found in Roundup, out of their ice cream is now telling us how to police our streets.

Guess what? I have NEVER in my life purchase nor ate ANY of Ben & Jerry’s products and I never shall.

I will have to say that I am doing my part to fully defund Ben & Jerry. Join me!

I’d bet $10 that there’s not a single black person working in that plant.

(Lot’s of underpaid brown ones, though)

There is no such thing as “Ben & Jerry’s.” They are Unilever. And no doubt Unilever HQ is a high security location peppered with armed guards.

Years ago I read somewhere that Ben & Jerry’s gave “1% For Peace”.It’s obvious what that meant so,as a result,I stopped buying their products.Sadly,that means that I can’t boycott them yet again.

All the things that would not be problems if people studied the Bible, lived correctly, studied in school, developed skills that gave them sufficient income to take care of housing and other needs. Wrong living is bankrupting everyone.

Civilization

Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The precondition of a civilized society is the barring of physical force from social relationships—thus establishing the principle that if men wish to deal with one another, they may do so only by means of reason: by discussion, persuasion and voluntary, uncoerced agreement.

Ayn The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use.

Ayn Rand

When the thin blue line disappears...it’s you against the gang, mob, collective, thugs. BE PREPARED.

They should be replaced by Larry, Daryl and Daryl.

I believe Quaker Oats bought out Ben and Jerry’s Years ago.

I wonder when “Quaker” will be considered a Racist word?

The good news is that [...] Minneapolis has vowed to disband its police department. [...] This is a great start.

I missed where they called on police to not answer calls to their locations.

Unilever apparently owns the brand. As for Quaker, they’re working on it.

BJ’s is just a fake virtue signalling hypocritical ice cream maker owned by a multi billion dollar global conglomerate.

I have never eaten their communist ice-cream. I understand that the allure is that it is greasy and fatty.

What you say you did not even happen in the 18th century, before we had Karl Marx and postmodernism and critical theory. What makes you think it would happen now?

Try Publix frozen yogurt. Low fat. Drizzle some Southern Comfort over it.

The Ben & Jerry’s factory is located in Waterbury, Vermont

Don't know if it's true but I heard that the ice cream will be free at that factory for the next month.
