Oh....So Now The Latest Dem Claim Is That The Right Is Attacking Cops

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

Ihlan is an extremist. Defunding means taking all of the money away from the police. Doing away with the police.

The actual Democratic stand is to reform the police. Put money where it is really needed.

The video show what every American already knows. You are full of shit. Liar.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The Democrats never called to defund the Police.

Yes, they did and many cities went forward with it which has been proven on this forum over and over again,

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Republicans are calling to defund the FBI and their followers are attacking FBI buildings

Democrats called to defund the police and attacked their buildings, but in a sudden twist of irony you now worship the federal police and have complete trust in them all because they went after The Don.

You're all dishonest hypocrites across the board, two sides of the same coin.

Well only the .gov cops that they like and who will do their bidding. Funny how that works isn't it?

Does the 'left' want to defund the police?

CLAIM

Top Congressional Republicans attacked the Democrats on police funding.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said "The left wants to defund the police."

CONCLUSION

While some Democrats have joined calls for a radical shift in police policy, including a reduction in police budgets, top congressional Democrats and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden have not supported calls to "defund the police."

EVIDENCE

Biden's published criminal justice plan called for a $300 million investment in community policing efforts -- including the hiring of more officers.
On June 8, Biden told CBS, "No, I don't support defunding the police," Rather, he said, "I support conditioning federal aid to police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness. And, in fact, are able to demonstrate they can protect the community and everybody in the community."

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Democrat of Maryland, told CNN, "Defunding police departments are not the answer." House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline and Karen Bass have also spoken out about the phrase, CNN reported in June.

It's worth noting that the slogan "defund the police" means different things to different activists -- from the dissolution of police forces to partial reductions in funding.

Trump's campaign has seized on a single comment Biden made to a progressive activist in a July video chat. In that conversation, Biden repeated his opposition to defunding police. When pressed, he did say he "absolutely" agrees that some funding can be redirected to social services, mental health counseling and affordable housing, but he immediately transitioned to his previous proposal to deny federal funding to specific police departments that do not meet certain standards. Biden said in early June that decisions about funding levels should be made by local communities, since some have too many officers but some don't have enough.
