Except Durham very clearly exposed...
Not when you can't convince a jury of that. Two Juries, two acquittals.
Didn't have to literally defund, otherwise the threat accompanied with everything else going on in connection with it all, uhhh was enough to get the law to back way off of their duties, and they did so for fear of being set up or ambushed. The whole debacle caused innocent people to die, and even the innocent cops who were cold bloodedly killed because of the narrative and brainwashing that occured were also killed.
Actually, the murder rate went up in 2020 because you had people locked in their homes for half a year. Most murders are domestic violence, and you lock people who can barely stand each other, put them under stress and reduce their economic standing, some of them are gonna get a little murdery...
Cops can't really do much about that.
The Democrats have blood on their hands big time.
They should have just let justice and the courts sort it all out, but nope they had to go with a false narrative that the cops were all racist hunting black people down to kill every day. "What do we want, pigs fried like bacon", when do we want it, now" or something to that effect. On and on it went.
Uh, guy, here's your problem.
The Courts weren't handling this.
Tamir Rice - no one went to jail
Eric Garner - no one went to jail
Philandro Castille - No one went to jail
Mike Brown - no one went to jail.
Andre Hill - no one went to jail
Aura Rosser - no one went to jail
Laquan McDonald - Officer got 7 years, only served three.
Stephon CLark - No one went to jail
Botham Jean - officer got 10 years.. will probably be out in five.
Alton Sterling - no one went to jail
You see the problem here?
Now, I will go one further that if Trump hadn't already screwed up the Covid Response and drove the economy into the ditch, the response to George Floyd's death might have just been a bit more resentment on that pile.
But thanks to his "inspired leadership", you already had a country that was like a puddle of gasoline waiting for a match.
