Can you define “the Dems” in this context? I thought a lot of Democrats were on board with that, and some of it did happen. There were police departments defunded. The murderer of George Floyd went to prison because of all the noise made about that brutality.
“We should all agree the answer is not to defund the police is to fund the police,” he said. “Fund them. Fund them. Fund them with resources and training. Resources and training, they need to protect their community. I ask Democrats and Republicans alike to pass my budget and keep our neighborhoods safe.”
And then it was bipartisan applause from the Neo-Nazi Party known as Republicans and Democrats. https://youtu.be/IsiNDuPAfJg
To a nation currently protesting police brutality, he said shut up and keep increasing the funding of the the militarized police who are killing people via extrajudicial means.
The Dems couldn’t even get on board with local PDs being held accountable for extra judicial killings in 2020.
They called the protests riots and the protesters looters.
that’s why they’ll only talk and posture with ice.
because if they go after ICE for abuse violations or fight against their qualified immunity, then it’ll set a precedent against their police.
It horrified me how in sync the Republicans and Democrats were in 2020 when it came to stomping down the last vestiges of the Civil Rights Movement
They aren’t on the same side, they just share corporate donors
Is there a meaningful difference?
only in their branding.
Two wings of the same bird.

Some equals all. Because thinking in binary terms is the only way.
So do you think Biden was talking about funding only the good cops that evict working families for missing rent or the bad cops who shoot minorities?
You haven’t answered my question.
