It's not a claim, it's fact.  The 'defund the police' movement was put on steroids,  by the marxists that lead BLM, after the George Floyd death.  It's pretty clear who spearheaded the whole thing, and it was BLM marxists.  Do you disavow what was done by your party ??

     

    These few on here really are delusional

    It's sad...then it's comical

    It's comical but WOW how really sad

To me this "movement" is due to abuses from certain police departments, lack of execution, selective engagement and no accountability. That has been the case since this country was founded, police departments are full of fraud, full of hatred and biases, full of selective engagement and too many times little or no accountability. What I conclude is this BLM defund the police move is because certain groups have been and are abused more by police than others and these groups are fed up with police departments having no control, ineffective accountability and selective enforcement. So if the police wont take action internally then they are saying stop funding them and get rid of all of the leadership, not stop having a police department. There are MANY groups that feel the police does not represent or protect them and I actually agree with this in many ways. Being a policeman is one of the toughest jobs there is, high risk long hours low pay and tons of downside, that is a fact. But you cant make this issue partisan, it is much more about minority abuse, lack of protection and ineffective accountability and that angers the minority groups that have been abused. The media in this case shapes a narrative and makes the GOP side think this issue is something it really is not, that enrages you and motivates you to vote the way THEY want you to...its a nasty ploy and it works.

     

    Do you ever look in the mirror, the media owns you

     

    I would rather deal with the few bad cops than the many bad criminals.

    Allowing crimes and freeing criminals is NOT helping

    Thinking George Floyd is a hero is worthy of a statue is asinine

    Attacking Trump but not Biden is quite partisan

    You are completely biased but strangely try to say you're not

    If the pieces of shat you support weren't allowed to run rampant...maybe the police wouldn't treat everyone like a deadly threat

    I would have loved to see you apprehend a guy like George Floyd. Only then may you speak and probably a different tune

    Lying by opposing candidate and backed up by many in government is a conspiracy. To deny it makes you a swamp creature too.

    Please split this country in 2.

    I need to watch democrats destroy each other as they succumb to the dead weight they applaud, and their glorious leaders pawn them to Hell.

    I've watched literally thousands of football games in my 69 years since birth. Pro, college, highschool. All weather conditions.  And among them all it has always been the case that one side gets flagged more times than the other in a large majority of the games.  In fact from my observation it is an exception to the norm when both teams get flagged an exact equal number of times. I know this too from experience officiating basketball for 15 years.  And oftentimes the numbers of penalties are lopsided.  We see this in NFL and college football and hoops too.

    Indeed we've all witnessed games where the "offending team" with the lopsided calls against them are still committing the majority of fouls, repeatedly, and surely deserve even more, but by then it looks like the refs are giving them a break as the score is getting out of hand!

    an_light Do we have a rightful concern that ALL the games do not end with EXACTLY (or near) the same number of calls called equally on each team?

    an_light Is any deviation from EXACTLY the same number of calls on each team an implication the game officials are necessarily biased and reffing unfairly?

    I remember vividly dreading officiating mens rec league games involving one particular team sponsored by a local moving company.....called themselves "the Packers" ......over time all us league referees came to regard them as "the HACKERS" - the way they played the game - and every call against them - after they tomahawk-chopped a shooter's wrist, or delivered an elbow to his eye (sometimes drawing blood) - was instantly met with massive *OUTRAGE*angry on the floor and from their benchangry for my so-called "totally biased officiating" an_arsed......the constant hip-checks they delivered to knock over opponents would make them world-class hockey defensemen! I kid you not!  But heaven forbid I should blow the whistle...

    I prided myself in both my knowledge of the rule books (fastball also) and fairness in calling the games.  If one team committed 10 fouls and other only 2, then I called 10 fouls on the one team and only 2 on the other, without any regard to how "upset" one side might become.  There was no bias, for or against.  And we were always on the lookout for the whiner teams that tried to "work the refs."  We were trained about that BS...

    Durham - a republican appointee from trump era -
    did not charge any high-level FBI or intelligence official
    with a crime! - and he even acknowledged in a footnote
    that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign
    did *NOTHING* prosecutable, either! 

            an_cheers  Hillary vindicated by republican!

     

    By the spring of 2020, according to officials familiar with
    the inquiry, Durham’s effort to find intelligence abuses in
    the origins of the Russia investigation had come up EMPTY! an_light

     


    But instead of wrapping up [ed, as they should have]
    Barr and Durham shifted to a different rationale,
    hunting for a basis to BLAME the Clinton campaign!


    By keeping the investigation going, Barr initially appeased
    his boss, Trump, who, as Barr recounted in his memoir, was
    angry about the lack of smear-charges as the 2020 election neared.

    Rudy Giuliani sued for $10 million by former aide over alleged sexual assault


    By Jonathan Stempel, REUTERS -

    NEW YORK (Reuters) -A former associate of Rudy Giuliani
    is suing him for sexual assault, accusing Donald Trump's
    former personal lawyer of hiring her to fulfill his desire
    for a sexual relationship.

    In a civil complaint filed on Monday and seeking at least
    $10 million, Noelle Dunphy said Giuliani began abusing
    her almost immediately after hiring her as an off-the-books
    employee in January 2019.

    She said Giuliani made clear that satisfying his sexual
    demands was an "absolute requirement" of her job.

    Dunphy had first publicly discussed her accusations in January
    but added many new details in a 69-page complaint filed
    against Giuliani and three of his namesake companies in
    a New York state court in Manhattan.

    Axios Harris survey of over 16,000 Americans rank 100 most visible companies.  Trump organization is last for the second year in a row.  FTX, Fox, Twitter and Facebook received the next lowest scores.  Rankings are based on trust, character, culture, ethics, citizenship, products, services, vision and trajectory.

    Fox News drops

    Cable News Ratings Monday May 22:


    Maddow Leads MSNBC to Prime Time Win Over Fox! 

    an_cheers

    MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow dominated the 9 p.m. hour
    on Monday night with 2.33 million total viewers and
    259,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic!

    Maddow beat Fox News’ Sean Hannity with just
    1.72 million viewers and 162,000 demo viewers.

    Maddow’s strong ratings helped to boost MSNBC prime time
    over Fox with an average 1.73 million .
    Fox was second with 1.62 million average prime time viewers.

     

    an_light*NOTE: due to LIBERAL viewers spreading out among multiple different "Liberal-leaning" national alternatives, Fox News by virtue of a virtual monopoly on MAGA/republican viewers/readers should *ALWAYS* have the highest numbers for any given segment and demographic.  Conservatives really have very few options, other than Fox.  Liberals have many!   So this is big news anytime Fox can't draw more viewers than any Liberal leaning media.

    Despite accusations that democrats defund the police, democrat cities fund policing at higher levels than republican cities according to Third way study.  In 2020, the 25 largest democrat cities spend 38% more on policing per capita than the 25 largest republican cities.

    Can you do an explanation of why these same cities have the highest crime rate and why their crime rates keep increasing?

    The lawlessness of all this shit sticks in my craw like that crawfish did , to my finger , that one time when I tried to pick it up too quick and it pinched me with it’s pincers peace_5

    I’m not trying to swim upstream against current here . I’m just putting down the ideas that popped up when I thought about lawlessness for a second , and it reminded me about that one time when I visited my friend Reggie in Louisiana peace_5

    I am not asking for a rebuttal nor a retort , I’m simply reporting from my cerebral cortex and the force , deeply hidden beneath the fortress of it’s core .peace_5

Can you do an explanation of why these same cities have the highest crime rate and why their crime rates keep increasing?

    It's been almost a week, and yet no response from "anybody " on the left...
