Under Biden, and "defund police" idiocy of the Democrats, murder rate this year is 18% higher. It means 3400 Americans MORE will be killed this year than under Trump. So who are the schlemiels who voted for Biden? 3400 more families will be aggrieved in 2021. Thanks Uncle Joe.
Dummy. Biden has not and will not defund the police. I doubt if local elected official will, either, for very long. Defund is a non-issue and everybody but you knows it. NEXT.
Funny. It was an issue during the election, when you people needed to rile up the radicalized blacks and the far left to vote.
I told them, that the white libs would never really do it. REight on this site, I told them.
AND I told them that the white libs, think that you... low enough that they can rile you up now, and then just betray you afterwards, and you will take it like a *****.
And I was right.
It was not an issue for me. I didn't need to and didn't speak or write in favor or in false support. You got the wrong guy. Independent centrist, remember? You were correct there, about white liberals never really doing it or at least being able to keep it. Being sentient, centrist and pragmatic, I am pretty well immune from being sold on characterizations of party politics, based on local mismanagement thousands of miles away, especially owing no allegiance to one of the parties.
Do you care about the increased death rate from increased crime?
I do wish the black people would quit killing each other. It is mildly disturbing, but it appears to be something endemic and accepted by them, internally to their common popular culture. I can live with it. They seem to attack each other with far more frequency than attacking white people. If black lives don't matter to them, they cannot expect me to cry out in alarm.
Just in case, I am licensed and carry concealed much of the time and can be counted on to deal effectively with whatever comes up, around me, just as you had me trained to do and in line with training I continue on a regular basis. Hopefully, I will never be involved in that type of encounter or in person witness to an event. If it happens, I might very well add to that death rate, that disturbs you.
The Defund Movement seems to be encouraging or allowing them to do it significantly more. So, criticism seems called for.
I do not think, the "defund movement", (which is not prevailing and on life support, actually) is encouraging black on black crime, in any way. It's just a black thing. I'm just a normal older white guy. I do not pretend to really understand black things, though I do form uninformed opinions. That community as a whole, seems willing to accept it, as normal for their people. Sure they weep and wail when they think the wrong person or child gets shot to death, but it is compartmentalized within the community to the families and close associates of the stricken, not the community at large, not spilling over to spur change in the community, at large. I am sure the minority of the black community would gladly support the "defund movement", but that is the criminal violent element. Crime is what they do. They seem to look at it like a job. It pays an income, supports at least a (short term) lifestyle better than normal jobs, has low taxes, and defunding to lower policing level would help their business model. Besides, getting shot is something that happens to other people, or an accepted part of the business model, supported by macho bravado. Hardly noble, but like soldiers, they are willing to take the risks that come with the job and lifestyle, as black lives really don't matter to them, at all. Police are the last people they want involved, preferring to handle disputes themselves and the community largely willing to go along with letting them. There is no real movement within the black community to stop black on black crime as unacceptable. The community is inured to it. At some level, they know it would and will require higher rates of policing, and know defunding is not an option. The vast majority do not speak out against defunding, not wanting to draw attention from the lower class criminal element or become ostracized within the community as what used to be called "Uncle Tom #iggahs". In their silence, they support perpetuation of the accepted community norms.
