Is the “defund the police” movement dead?

Black mayors in crime-ridden cities across the U.S. are admitting so with a series tough actions meant to curb the epidemic of lawlessness.

KEYWORDS:
Oh, so now the Dems are all about "Law and Order."

"The change in rhetoric comes as looting and violent crimes have swept the nation, often directly in response to Democratic policies, such as a California law under which shoplifting merchandise worth $950 or less is only a misdemeanor—which has caused delinquents to freely grab goods in the light of day without fear of security guards or police doing anything to stop them."

The change comes as the mid-terms draw near.

Yep. It never occurs to a Socialist Democrat to do what is good and right for Society as a WHOLE. Just muck things up any way they can.

The 2022 mid-terms are going to be a Red Tsunami, I’m betting. They KNOW they’re going DOWN. Pelosi will be GONE!

(Not that much will change; it’s just the principle of the thing.)

The extreme far left are hustling their asses back towards the middle with elections coming up. Time to pretend to be “moderate Americans” again. ROTFL.

They need to walk-back ballot cheating for that to matter.

The Dems need to incentivize stable, two parent families rather than single unwed mothers. Maybe a stable, loving environment would provide stability, discipline and education to stop the crimes earlier.

This anodyne term “walking back.” What it means is these soulless bastards have no integrity. They’ll say or do anything to keep power, and have to work hard to conceal the rabid policies bread by their diseased minds

That explains it all. Fundamentally they will never change.

I know the area Pelosi is from well.

He constituents love her.

If she dies or retires, someone exactly like her will be the replacement.

Typical Über-wealthy area where “big city” problems are far far away.

They’ll lie lie lie to get elected - then go back to their Commie agenda.

Happens all the time.

Republican candidates: don’t accept their insincere, strategic walkbacks.

McCain used to do that all of the time. I was an Arizonan at the time and had to stop voting for him. Got tired of his BS.

The left rather then being guided by a moral compass they use a weather vane to guide them. Since their goal seems to be to destroy our society so they can re-built it in into their version of utopia.

They are not interested in solving any problem only in creating new ones.

You’re 100% correct. That’s the root of most of the trouble. But the Dems are too busy virtue signaling and voting their irrational feeeeeeelings.
