democrats: willing pawns of Black Lives Matter

Pre- the George Floyd death, President Trump had introduced prison reform policies that pleased blacks.
He also signalled that, should a bi-partisan police reform bill reach his desk, he would happily sign it.
The Dems had been working hard on this billand it was almost ready.
Now, police reform is not enough for the Dems black radicals.
Only defund &/or abolish the police will satisfy those liberals.
What’s a Dem to do when the daily statement of obedience is ever-changing and never enough for the next day?

@Nathan Blue:

Agree! ALL good lap sucking political whores. a complete disgrace to the meaning of America. the founding fathers of this country would vomit witnessing this behaviour. do you think that booker uses a rubber when he fronicates his 17 y/o toy?

Today FOX is televising the funeral (traveling clown show) of George Floyd, who was seemingly murdered by a white cop. Floyd had a criminal history as long as my arm, including breaking into a woman’s home and helping others rob her as he shoved a loaded gun into her pregnant stomach.

Will any TV news outlet televise the funeral of retired St. Louis Police Department Captain David Dorn who was shot to death by a rioting and looting young black man? Or any of the innocent blacks murdered last weekend in Chicago by other blacks?

Why is a career criminal’s murder more important than a man who put his life on the line every day and served his community, raised his children and mentored other children? Will Nancy Pelosi take a knee for David Dorn?

Republicans have become the willing pawns of Donald J Trump, who not a patriot, or a republican, or a conservative.

Not all republican leaders have lost their moral compass.

@Greg: Funny you think a rich white guy posing with blacks for a photo-op even reads on the “moral compass”.

Here’s what real leadership looks like, moral compass intact.

@Nathan Blue, #13:

Crime is down. Police misconduct is down…

Any theories about this? It clearly wasn’t random.

@Greg: Democrat conspiracy theories? Ok, loony-tune. And believing the de-funding of police will save black lives is like believing the Earth is flat.

Any comments on this one? It clearly wasn’t random.

@Nathan Blue:

Defunding isn’t actually a synonym for abolishing, but I’m sure conflating the two will be totally irresistible to the right.

@Greg: Oh, I’m aware of how the Dem/Left is playing those words suddenly, as are you.

The BLM movement is indeed supporting abolishing the police. The Dems are head-nodding behind, with loyal stooges like you now parsing words because you understand the moral and ideological hole you’re standing it.

You idiots were just caught on camera, including your candidate Biden, suggesting they weaken or abolish police, altogether.

The Constitutional Rule of Law…as enforced by Police…suddenly weakened…

The Dems were just caught effectively saying they want to abolish our form of government.

Good luck with those pesky elections in November.

I’m aware that “thoughtful examination of the issue” is not the way you guys do things here, but I will share a link where the idea of “defunding the police” is revealed to mean different things to different people using term. The consensus on your site appears to be that it means “get rid of the police force,” but that doesn’t seem to be the way the term is being used by those who are giving the idea any actual consideration.

Oh… so you believe police will risk their lives for free and everyone will just donate all the equipment they need? Once again, you Democrats prove you need to get out more. You submit to those who scream the loudest (and loot, burn and riot) instead of doing what needs to be done. This one is NOT a winner and Trump will, I hope, shove this one right up your asses.

Take up loony, far, far left ideas and policies while promoting a goofy, dottering, discombobulated corrupt candidate. You should demand an investigation to see if the Democrats TRY to lose.

@retire05, #25:

Are you stupid enough to believe that any metropolitan area would seriously consider completely doing away with police departments? Maybe I should remind you that one of the most important goals of Obama’s stimulus program the last time a republican administration tanked the national economy was to provide emergency funding for local police and fire departments, which would otherwise have been forced to cut back or discontinue services due to lack of funds.

Possibly so. You’re seem to be stupid enough to unquestioningly believe every damn lie that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth.

More likely, however, you know this is b.s. every bit as well as you know Trump is an inveterate liar. You’re just willing to parrot a new and useful propaganda meme, if you think it will help to keep this posturing, gold-plated, egocentric, chauvinistic, holier-than-thou, flag hugging, bible waving jackass in office. In which case he would have 4 more years to swing his wrecking ball at every stationary and moving target that it strikes his fancy to demolish.

Why did democratic leaders take a knee in support of Black Lives Matter? Because they recognize there’s a serious racial bias problem in this country that is also present in some members of the law enforcement community, and because black people are disproportionately part of their constituency. Reflecting and representing their constituents’ concerns is a central part of the Democratic Party’s philosophy. It’s why people vote for them.

@retire05:

Well, yeah, that’s what Vox and numerous left wing outlets are saying. I suggest they look up the definition of defunding.

Well, we have to defund it to see how much catastrophic damage will be done… to paraphrase Nancy the Drunk.

We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive.

Investment that will, literally, go up in smoke.

@Greg:

Are you stupid enough to believe that any metropolitan area would seriously consider completely doing away with police departments?

So you are saying that, once again, Democrats are lying to their black constituents just to shut them up and get their votes? Could be, but Democrats have NEVER let stupidity keep them from doing anything.

Maybe I should remind you that one of the most important goals of Obama’s stimulus program the last time a republican administration tanked the national economy was to provide emergency funding for local police and fire departments, which would otherwise have been forced to cut back or discontinue services due to lack of funds

After Democrat policies crashed the economy, Obama wasted almost a billion dollars to pay back campaign supporters, which included propping up failing civil unions. As we can see, he did NOTHING to improve conditions.

@Ronald J. Ward: How much did it cost for the mayor of DC to have a racist slogan painted on the streets?

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

7:34 AM · Jun 9, 2020

Could Trump need CT scan of his own equipment? This sounds even crazier than usual.

Like Greg, AOC wants the police destroyed but they should choose their words carefully to not run off white voters. In other words, lie as long as you can.

@Ronald J. Ward: So, if you are so worried about the RNC spending their own money for campaign ads (during a campaign, I might add) why doesn’t the Mayor of DC spending taxpayer money (which I guess she didn’t have to protect public and private property) to paint an inflammatory racist slogan on the street?

@Deplorable Me:

I’m not worried how the RNC spends their money. As a matter of fact I’m delighted.

You are indeed the slow one (or play the role of the slow one) of the trolls, aren’t you?

June 9, 2020 – Led By Tim Scott, Senate Republicans Begin Drafting Their Own Police Reform Plan

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tapped Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the chamber’s lone black Republican, to put together a legislative package addressing the country’s policing system.

The plan would respond to the “obvious racial discrimination that we’ve seen on full display on our television screens over the last two weeks,” McConnell told reporters following a GOP luncheon Tuesday to discuss the issue.

The plan comes a day after Democrats – with the support of more than 200 co-sponsors – rolled out their plan to overhaul law enforcement departments across the country. Scott told reporters he hopes Republicans can get a bill on the Senate floor before their July Fourth break.

Scott said Republicans are considering a proposal to increase training to focus on de-escalation tactics that would lessen the potential for chokeholds and other dangerous forms of police restraints. But Scott was clear his GOP colleagues aren’t fans of the major items in the Democratic legislation, which includes bans on chokeholds and no-knock warrants in drug-related cases. He also ruled out reform of the legal doctrine for police known as qualified immunity — a key provision in the bill Democrats unveiled Monday.

The South Carolina Republican said there’s also talk about bringing more police departments under reporting requirements to the FBI and Justice Department. Today, only 40% are under such reporting requirements, and that needs to change, Scott said.

“We’d like to see all the agencies report, so we’re going to provide either resources for it or perhaps reduce grants if they don’t,” Scott said.

The GOP is also discussing setting up a commission to get a handle on concerns facing policing today, Scott added.

The plan would trigger “the establishment of a ‘National Police Commission’ study, so that we can figure out best practices that can used across all departments that we would at least direct funding and resources toward in that direction,” he said.

Scott also noted it’s time to increase funding for police body cameras, which stands at less than $20 million today.

“I’d like to see that number grow significantly,” he said.

Scott said he’ll be developing the legislation as part of a working group that includes Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, James Lankford of Oklahoma, John Cornyn of Texas and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia.

Scott said he’s in talks with the White House and he’s hopeful the plan could win President Trump’s support.

“We are on a separate track from the White House,” Scott said. “I have been talking with folks in the White House about the track that they’re on as well. I think there is some synergy between all three tracks.”

Later Tuesday, Scott received a visit from White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, White House adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and Ja’Ron Smith, deputy director of the White House Office of American Innovation.

“We’re making progress,” Scott said.

Meadows later told some Capitol Hill reporters that the group had a “real good conversation” and is hopeful for a plan sooner rather than later.

“We’re hopeful that we can address the issue in a real way,” Meadows said but declined to say whether the White House could be supportive of Scott’s plan so far. “It’s a work in progress.”

Scott said Republicans would also be working the phones Tuesday to see if any Democrats would join in the legislative effort. However, he was clear that Republicans aren’t on board with the Democratic proposal and wouldn’t be moving forward with it.

“I basically shy away from telling local law enforcement: You shouldn’t do that or you can’t do this,” Scott said, referring to bans on no-knock warrants in drug-related cases and chokeholds. “I think their bill has a tendency to be seen as perhaps a nationalization of some of the underlying issues or techniques.”

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said competing party-driven plans could make it difficult for Congress to approve a reform bill.

“I think there’s going to be a Republican proposal and a Democrat proposal. The only thing that bothers me about that, is what usually happens when there’s a Republican proposal and a Democrat proposal?” Paul asked. “An impasse and nothing.”

But McConnell said he remained hopeful of a plan moving forward. He noted 50 years after major civil rights legislation “we are still wrestling with America’s original’s sin,” adding, “It’s perfectly clear we are a long way from the finish line.”

The majority leader said it was important “to listen to one of our own” – Scott – who, McConnell noted, has personal experiences with racial discrimination that have continued since he began his Senate career.

Separately, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., introduced a resolution that called for justice for Floyd but also expressed opposition to calls from some advocates to “defund the police.” Cotton’s office indicated he would ask for unanimous consent to approve the resolution on Wednesday. Scott was not listed as a co-sponsor.

@Greg:

Trump’s average job approval rating presently stands at minus 11.8 percent. Maybe you should be asking yourself why that is instead of posing questions to argue about with me.

That has been explained before. The corrupt liberal media’s coverage of Trump is designed to support Democrats and hide the failures and disaster of their agenda. However, more and more can now see through the propaganda and realize just how radical and un-American Democrats have become.

Take over in Seattle

Idiots running a small chunk of a state hows this different than any democrat city?
Lets see how much they learned in college, any city planners are garbage men funded?
Cut off internet and cellphones they crumble and crawl out in short time. Who is dumb now for hoarding food and TP?

@Greg: the approval rating poll is corrupt and irrelevant.

Just remember that Hillary Clinton was supposed to win by a landslide, and she didn’t. There has also in no extraneous factors such as the Russian collusion hoax to account for why the polls were such b.s.

Polls are simply used a Democrat controlled media now to influence public opinion in favor of democrat control.

That you can start BLM riot off of one police misconduct video and yet nothing happens when you have a racist black man beating up white elderly people shows that your media complex is unduly affecting public opinion in a corrupt and unjust way.

The majority of the country is going to vote for Trump.

@Greg:

Trump’s average job approval rating presently stands at minus 11.8 percent. Maybe you should be asking yourself why that is instead of posing questions to argue about with me.

No cigar, Greggie. I presented you with honest questions pertaining to a particular subject. Instead, I get more of your HateTrump/RepublicansEvil bullshit. I guess you are unable to articulate an opinion on these questions:

What do you think it the main reason for the lack of success in black communities?

Do you apologize for your “white” privilege?

What do you think can be done to improve the lives of black people?

Do you think that discrimination against whites will solve the problem?

And my last question;
how many jobs did Mitt Romney offshore that could have gone to people of all races, ethnicities and creeds and does his marching with BLM absolve him from that?

If you are incapable of answering direct, specific questions, perhaps you should just stop posting.
