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.

Let’s look at the state demographics;

Vermont Demographics

According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Vermont was:

White: 94.33%
Two or more races: 1.93%
Asian: 1.69%
Black or African American: 1.29%
Other race: 0.39%
Native American: 0.34%
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.03%

But we don’t know how many illegals there are.

I tried Ben & Jerry’s ice cream one time when a friend insisted. It was so awful I spit it out then grabbed a coke to wash the taste out of my mouth.

I asked him how could you eat that? He said it is an acquired taste. I said, sewer is an acquired taste?

That makes no sense.

If I have to suffer eating something several times to “like” it, just hell no.

I remember someone on here calling one of the flavors bathhouse banana and I still think of it and laugh when I see their ice cream.

Drowning them in a vat of ice cream would be particularly

Ben & Jerry's is owned by Unilever. Unilever is a Dutch-British company.

Perhaps they should keep their pie holes shut before someone stuffs an EU flag in it.

This could be the reason for the bad taste of Ben and Jerrys

A Controversial Chemical Has Been Found In Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream
Glyphosate is used as a weed killer.

The same guys who gave us the “anyone can be a CEO” contest. Their idea was also the lib proposal that the highest paid employee in a company should make no more than five times as much as the lowest paid employee. So within a few month their CEO contest winner totally disproved their leftist wet dream and they had to hire a real CEO at market prices.

So did they switch to another brand of weed killer?

Does that mean that if we go to the Ben and Jerrys warehouse, everything is FREE, since there are no Police.

That drawing is a malicious lie.

The public school budget is $800 billion. The most money is spent by large Democrat cities.
Public spending on mental health and substance abuse treatments is about $180 billion.
Harder to narrow down job training and public housing costs but federal housing subsidies are at $190 billion.

The police budget should be one of the small bowls, dwarfed by several larger ones.
Democrats are despicable.
