    Meanwhile, Minneapolis politicians have completely thrown their police under the bus.

    Minneapolis City Council Unanimously Approves Pledge to Abolish Police Department
    [​IMG]
    The Minneapolis City Council unanimously approved a pledge to seek the replacement of its police department with a so-called community-led public safety system as Black Lives Matter and far-left Democrats push to defund law enforcement in the wake of protests and riots over George Floyd’s death.

    Thankfully, it sounds like a large number of people at least have more sense than to "defund" police. This is what my "personal polling" would suggest.

    And then there was the nearby link of the outraged black woman who shouted at some protestors, “Black lives don’t matter if you vote for Democrats!” as she encouraged them to move out of the way before they got “whupped.” Thankfully, a policeman herded them aside before that happened.

    I wish conservative cities across the nation would open their Police ranks for any Minneapolis cop that would love to relocate! Then let every one of them turn in their resignation at once a get "out of Dodge" ASAP.
    Same for Seattle also.

    Definitely an issue for Trump in November. He needs to hit this hard.

    I'm also considering defunding all the companies trying to get Tucker fired. Disney, T-Mobile, and Papa Johns. In essence, they are taking an antipolice stance. Time to boycott.

    BLM is like democrats everywhere.

    They don't care what their constituents want. Just shut up and stay out of the way, People.

    Besides "defund" doesn't mean "defund" to the apologists, who are already redefining the word because their agenda is so overwhelmingly unpopular, a Standard leftist tactic.
