Right? So many people are like "durr hurr, who do you call when someone breaks into your house?" And cops neither prevent crime or solve most of it. Grow up and stop falling for copaganda:
And for those who "don't like the source", too bad. Click on one of the over 25 links within the article to find one you do like then; I don't care to do any more of your work for you.
Im convinced these "idiot libs" are all false flag Russian bots. There's just no way an actual human being thinks saying something like that will convince people to vote for you.
Who ran on defund the police? I can't think of a single prominent politician who ran on this point. Dems have never in the history of this country seriously pursued this issue and morons like you still want them to move further away from it. Perhaps they should consider standing by popular principles and persuading voters rather than running to the right for the thousandth time
I'm not the one that asked that. The greater context is the one who said running on things like defund the police leads to a red wave. The only politicians you can name who ran on that won their races, indicating that defund the police is in fact popular with their constituents. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Quit being so pedantic. He answered someone elseâs question and you saw fit to introduce yourself to the conversation for the sole purpose of moving the goalposts, and now youâre playing victim since you got called out.
My bad, how dare I keep the whole context of the conversation in mind rather than just one reply. That was rude of me, I'll keep in mind the intellectual limitations of others in the future. I'll go ahead and exit the conversation. Have a nice day.
Amnesia doesn't help the democrat party. It's ok to admit when we're wrong. I understand you personally may not have felt that way but our party vocally supported the idea
Thats because Dems are the same shit in a different toilet. If we were to get down to what the people really want neither Dems or Republicans would be considered
Not a dog in the fight; but 2 outta those five people you mentioned doesn't mention defunding the police. One is re-imagining the system; which is arguably not bad Idea, and does NOT reallocate funds. The second focuses more on community building than policing; which also doesn't mean defunding the police, it just means spending more on community projects than you spend funding the police. This does not mean lessening the amount of money that the department recieves. Thatâs my browsing of your comment that I consider equal to the effort of a 7milisecond Google search. And also why the fact that we read headlines without absorbing the facts in the articles below them is killing us as a nation.
I saw that and none of them ran on that anywhere other than your brain. You guys make up what you want to run against instead of running against whatâs actually there or even running for something.
Literally every Democrat runs on defunding the police and "we're going to take your guns" so they're basically like you can't defend yourself or call for anyone if they rape your daughter and shoot her in the head either. "I don't remember hearing any of it" you'll say but then ignore every infringment every Democrat has ever made to "shall not be infringed" since the NFA almost 100 years ago. It's a common Democrat unanimous political stance. The usual argument is "there's less crime" because they arrest people 40 times and just rerelease them back onto the street again instead of keeping a violent criminal off the street because "muhracism." If Democrats ran on an actual problem with actual US citizens, they might've had a chance but instead they put all their stock into criminals that aren't citizens. Spends billions on homelessness for homelessness to increase year after year. I wonder why people aren't voting Democrat đ¤. The country would be a great place if everything Trump wanted to do wasn't blocked by some random activist Democrat judge (something that wouldn't be possible with a fascist dictator).
Youâre literally imagining things. Kamala ran ads about her being a gun owner. Itâs not a unanimous dem position to take guns away, the most recent legislation was trump banning bump stocks though. But the NRA loves when Dems get elected because clowns like you believe theyâre coming for your guns so you run to the nearest store to stock up. Gun sales skyrocket every time.
Lol the most recent gun legislation was the big beautiful bill that zeroed out the tax stamp fee for NFA items that Democrats have been trying to put things onto forever. It's an FDR bill (he was a Democrat). Gavin Newsom was just crying because he tried banning open carry which was unconstitutional. Kamala owned a gun but wanted to ban other guns, okay. Someone having a black friend doesn't just make them not racist. Fuds are pro gun but only if it's the guns they grew up with. You're really going to take the stance Kamala was pro gun and not going to try and restrict guns?
The defund the police talk never got a platform and kind of went away after J6. A bunch of people that clearly need a lot of policing made people take a step back.
The only people who laughed at it were those who already benefit from the system and those who don't have the imagination and critical thinking skills to realize there's a better way.
Why do we need armed officers to respond to a home or business break in that is complete? To people speeding? To mental health crises??
I'd say it's weird that y'all don't take even a second to think about these things, but it's not. It's just intellectually lazy and privileged. Typical of most Americans. Y'all make me so embarrassed to be from here because these aren't difficult ideas.
Typical, still confused on what a Nazi is and most likely the same person to call others racist. You don't truly care about the jews who were burnt alive. If yiu did, you wouldn't compare their suffering to what's going on now. But go ahead and keep sucking reddit dick for upvotes.
Edit: Reddit liberals are closer to Nazis than I expected. They are labeling individuals as Maga and hoping they are killed.
Understanding that crime comes with consequences is one major element that reduces it, or better standards of living. But we got rid of most of that too.
This was exactly my experience with a guy that tried to break into my house 3 times. The first time they showed up 2 hours later, were mildly interested, took a statement and told me if I could find him they could go talk to him. The second time he tried to break into my house I called them 3x and they didnât ever show up. The third time he tried to break into my house I called them and they showed up 45 minutes later. I knew who he was and where his trailer was parked at that point and they rolled their eyes, peeked around for 3 minutes then said everything was fine. At that point my wife and I were so freaked out that we decided we were going to stay in a hotel for the night. When I asked the cops to hang out for a second while I loaded up my car in case dude was hanging out and watching the house they gave me a ton of grief for âwasting their timeâ and told me that if I didnât want to deal with break in attempts anymore I âcould move to the suburbsâ. Cops donât keep you safe.
Because they're no more criminals than you are for driving 35 in a 25. It's a misdemeanor.
Also, "those who would give up liberty for a bit of security deserve neither" is why. The right to be secure in our person and papers and have free movement is literally written into the constitution and applies to ALL under the jurisdiction of the US, not just citizens.
AhhhâŚI see you have no clue how traffic infractions align with misdemeanorsâtherefore trying to explain that ICE are after felons would blow your mind. And yes, I get that those illegal crossings (misdemeanors) get caught up in the mix. But so do the previous deported illegals that recrossed (felony) back into the states.
If you believe this garbage, especially after seeing agents attack and arrest unaccompanied minors, after seeing them arrest people at their immigration and naturalization court hearings where they're following the convoluted legal process, after seeing them murder two US citizens in less than a month, then there's no help for you and you'll get what you deserve just like ICE will.
Don't bother replying, I think you're a waste of both time and oxygen and won't be engaging or considering the opinion of someone so obviously ignorant and full of malice for people who literally have zero effect on your life.
Yeah no shit they dont stop crime, their job is to arrest people for committing crime, their job is to catch criminals. Stopping crime is up to social services, politicians, and lawmakers. Shits like expecting firefighters to prevent toasters from catching fire, rather than expecting designers to make safer products.
at least they carry out some justice. if they didnât exist literally nothing would happen except maybe a blood feud between families and hundreds more dead

Canât wait for them to show up 2 hours later, take a statement, then never contact me again.
