Topic Wiki

From the OP:

Why is everyone jumping to defund police.
So we should have lawless people and no police to defend?

a prominent vocal minority known as BLM movement has explicitly called for it. That's not some fringe nutcase that's a very vocal minority whom the politicians are actually marching with.
Anyone that believes that that majority or even close to a majority feel we should get rid of all police is a complete idiot.

So your answer is no.
I didn't think you were an idiot.  ;)

So any Jews that march with the protesters want to get rid of all police, interesting.  :P

There are no shortage of idiots on the left either.
Do you really believe the majority or even close to a majority of just liberals (leave R's out) want to get rid of ALL police?
Nice pivot
If you don't care why would you comment?

Huh?
I don't think a majority of liberals want to defund the police. Even CNN called that position extreme.
But I do believe a majority of people protesting to defund police mean they want to ban the police.

Nice pivot
I was going say telling you call me out for a pivot when another member pivoted three times already but I won't.  :)
Just the facts. Idiots at both ends of the spectrum that cancel each other out. That leaves the I's and a few sensible R&D's.

The huh was for changing the topic. Who was talking about liberals?
We're trying to define what protesters asking for police defunding actually want. That seems perfectly clear to me based on many videos, so on what basis do you disagree?

You have a diverse massive crowd and saying the majority is taking an extreme view. I disagree.

This topic is "Defunding police is the answer to racism?"
That is what I what addressed. When you talk about that it does not mean getting rid of all police. It is a ploy of the right to paint it that way.
If that is what the op meant then the title should be "Is getting rid of all police the answer to racism"?

Right wing doesn't need to paint a thing, the protestors themselves say it :P

Someone who stays straight while another is pivoting around them will look as if he is pivoting to the one who actually is.

...and someone that believes they should treat their own better will actually do that. The pattern continues.

I am not sure what you are trying to say here, but if you are repeating the stupidity that you have mentioned a few times that I defend people because they are Jewish, all you need to do is actually remember the many time which were vere contrary to this and I defended your position against many here who were attacking it. I understand that this doesn't fit your biases but that is your problem not mine.

For those worried about Trump, rhetoric like this is what will get him re-elected (if that's even possible at this point)

At the very least two us pivoted as you call it. I get called out and no one else. So save your nonsense for those that believe it. Also the comment was not meant just for you.
I tried from the very beginning of my post to discuss defunding. Then others pivoted to this extremist right wing position.
