    You liberals really stepped into it this time
    Defund the Police is polling worse then congress worse then the media hell worse then lawyers you know its bad when it polls worse then lawyers

    now you can try you spin all you want saying defund the police really doesn't mean defund the police but whos going to believe that crap the phrase has already been set into the social consciences

    So you know what going to happen now either democrat's are going to have to condemn the defund the police and by doing so alginate their radical unhinged base along with many black activist hurting their already strained relationship with the black community partly thanks to Biden's "you aint black remark"

    or they going to feel compelled to embrace defund the police which many democrat already have to pander to thier radical base and black community and become unelectable by the vast majority

    You couldn't have handed Trump a better gift
    distinct lines have been drawn
    a vote for a democrat's is a vote to defund the police a vote for lawlessness a vote for chaos a vote for anarchy
    a vote for a republican is a vote for pro-police for law and order a vote for safe communities
    campaign commercial write them selves
    so I will repeat
    You liberals really stepped into it this time

    This is exactly what got Nixon elected in '68, the silent majority got sick of the anarchy. Today's Donkey Party much more openly support the mayhem.

    Put me down as “for” defunding in minority areas only.

    Who are we to force them to fund unwanted police departments? Give them what they want!

    I saw your answer yesterday to my question about where Biden stands on this and he really isn't in a good spot no matter what answer he gives. I'm sure the media knows this and now I'm wondering if they'll even ask his opinion on it.

    And if an overwhelming number of people are against defunding the police, then the people who are doing the defunding should be worried about their jobs.

    We all know how the left loves social experiments, so why don't they simply put the black cops in the black areas and white cops in the white areas? Yea, the cops and their union will go insane, but it's worth a try in the name of social justice, right?

    Defunding the Police as a framework is as moronic as the United States dismantling our entire military! Why do so many Americans lack any form of common sense?

    because democrat are children grown adults that never matured from adolescence
    they allow thier emotions over take them which shuts out all rational thought sane reasoning and common sense just like an emotional child throwing a fit

    I also pondered this. In addition the Left should demand that whenever a Black is caught violating the law from passing bad checks to outright murdering someone the non-Black police simply -- at most -- act to contain the GOOD citizen until a Black police officer shows up to make the actual arrest. Also in order to be proactive . . . have only (suitably) Brown Hispanic cops deal with Hispanics and Asian cops deal with Asian thugs.

    Sure all of that will lead to these ethnic groups rampaging but what the hell . . . at least it will be politically correct. Of course any ethnic police group can arrest Whites . . . because after all White Lives Don't Matter . . . unless the Whites are SJW woke White-hating leftists.

    I want to add that it's obvious that this is the end goal leftist trend anyway; and so -- at least in Dem Controlled cities outside of Texas; because we won't put up with that Dem Party crap even inside our Dem Party controlled cities -- we might as well let these ideologically poisoned people conduct their massive social engineering experiement . . . as long as they are only hurting residents inside Dem Party controlled hell-holes anyway.

    Democrats make really bad choices based on emotion and equivalencies. They've essentially lost their ability to make rational decisions and take into account unintended consequences.

    Black and Hispanic cops shoot unarmed black perps as often as white cops do.

    Maybe we should defund the FBI for their Russia hoax abuses?

    65% oppose defunding
    16% want it and
    19% are too stupid to understand the question.

    He was in a bind either way: support #BLM in their defunding efforts and alienate moderates he needs to win, or oppose #BLM in their defunding efforts and alienate his base of liberal supporters .... which he also needs to win.

    At this point, I'll be quite surprised if President Trump does not win Minnesota this fall.

    Yessssssss . . . but apparently to the political Left it is not either a racist event OR an example of bad policing when anyone other than a White kills durring an arrest action.

    I think we should take this one step farther and forbid anyone below a certain melanin count of being in law enforcement or becoming a judge or being a politician. Oh . . . and all Whites should always have to go around with a Large white block letter 'W' on their tunic.

    Trump's doesn't want to defund the police...my guess is Biden didn't really understand the question, and didn't realize that the Dem base actually wants to defund the police. He will likely flip flop in the coming weeks when pushed by the base to get get behind this
