This should be about the removal of the abuse of authority, not the removal of authority.
It’s about healing communities.
They want people they can trust when they are in trouble.
It makes sense.
I have an uncle who worked as an internal affairs investigator for a PD in LA county. He said cities pay out millions each year for alleged police brutality allegations. The reason? It’s cheaper. He said 95% of cases would have been thrown out of court if the city had the funds to properly defend these cases. The criminals of the community know this and take advantage.
Mr. Floyd died at the hand of a bad cop and should have not died. Police need to take accountability of their own bad apples. The inner city communities need to stop race on race murders, drug dealings, gang activity and violent crimes so police don’t need to come into these communities.
Yep👍
Lol even the loony leftist can’t figure this out.
THANK YOU! GREAT COMMENT.
At first, defunding the police sounds kind of good…but, it quickly sounds like a bad idea.
I AGREE…lets hold the police to ACTING RIGHT. It should be apart of their training anyway.
Good program wow never heard of it first time great job that exactly what we need asap n other services also
😃👍🏾
It could look like Baghdad, beautiful I’ve heard, so much peace👍
@MrWoeful8 I’m not. Baghdad is beautiful
SLOTHYY why don’t you move there?
They still have police
@SLOTHYY Just your opinion Saddam!
Mogadishu, Minnesota
When a child breaks his toys do you:
1) Give him more toys.
2) Take away his other toys.
Do we reward criminal behavior now?
Cnn sits back and smiles of all there hard race baiting work. Oh wait they did get attacked in Atlanta. And the troll mayor shamed the rioters for just that incident. But really cnn is no one’s friend and should be dismantled like all the news.
@Don dabby you saw race baiting?
The cops are crooked. The protesters are not black dummy.
@Will Smith You are being logical. Some people don’t understand logic.
@Thats Rough is that all you have? Lol.
Dass Rayciss! We blacks ain’t no crimbinals. We jus’ be takin’ what we be likin’.
When 911 emergency services goes away, I guess we will all dial .45mag
🤣🤣 Just call Jesus. He’s supposed to save !!
sterling campbell or the ghost busters lol
@Arthur Schnapka .45 Winchester mag, .45 automag, .454 casull, .460 Rowland, .460 s&w magnum… all .45 caliber and magnum rounds
@Patriot .45 acp you Russian troll, stay on your side
@Arthur Schnapka Yes they do.
Where is David Dorm? Oh I guess he doesn’t matter since he wasn’t killed by a white..
He’s already been put to rest.
Rest in Peace David Dorn 👮🙏🇺🇸
David Dorn was killed by a criminal. Someone we’d actually expect to do something like murder. While George Floyd was killed by a POLICE OFFICER. You know someone who vowed to “protect and serve”. That’s why his death got so much attention. And this leads people who don’t even care about his death to think that screaming his name will give them the ability to discredit an entire movement for positive change.
@Stacy Gagnon funny his killer just robbed a store at gunpoint 6 months ago and what let loose…then robbed a woman with a knife ..let go again..and now your hero killed a black cop.
Dorn!! Dork!!
@Lil Gimp What about the victims of George Floyd? When the settlement is given will Floyd’s victims be paid?
When someone calls 911 to report a break in at 2am, they will send out a Social Worker!🤣
they probably wont get shot opening the door to a social worker.
Police don’t do crap either. They come. Take a police report and that’s it.
You literally did not watch the video if you think that
@mistercoors Didn’t they say American homes are armed?
Or turn on CNN, it’ll make the bad man go away.
Criticising police from the safety of a news room.
So reporting on what the PEOPLE want and are saying is criticizing from a news room… what a twisted world you live in
No, I’m starting a new effort,,,,, ” defund welfare “.
More investors needed for welfare and disability fraud.
Generational section 8 needs to stop. Having baby daddy pay child support through court system needed.
Drug testing and treatment in order to get all of these benefits.
I DON’T CARE WHAT COLOR YOU ARE!!
The only way to uplift people out of poverty is for them to learn they have to be responsible for themself.
More investigator’s
@Sugar Xyler the foot model Right , that end up destroying cities
@Jogger Lives Don’t Matter Hunter loves sitting around and melting rocks.
@SoLowDolo I don’t care what color they are. Defend welfare.
Again, CNN with lack of informative reporting.
Lack of informative rhetoric!
Go back to fox troll
Never let a good lie down.
They are propaganda. MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBS, and PBS. All televised propaganda.
Let’s take extreme ideas and make them mainstream. Good job cnn
What’s extreme about taking money from bloated police budgets and giving it to schools and social programs? Is it so important for your local PD to have dozens of pairs of nightvision goggles but kids are using textbooks from 20 years ago?
Democrats are dividing the US and people are too stupid to see it.
Even the Generals are speaking out about how divisive Trump is and you still blame the democrats?
Do you still think that covid is a “Democratic Hoax” like Trump said?
Not everybody. Yes the nation has been stupefied, but not everybody.
They see it. They see it all and when November comes so does Hell. They will all get Trumped in the end.
No they see it just like that lie of the two police fired in Atlanta they didn’t tell the whole story
Defund them yes✌️🙏✋✊, absolutely get rid of them,no, because who’s going to help you when your robbed ?? Think??(D)
NEWS ALERT! NEWS ALERT! TURNS OUT THAT IT IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO LOOT AND BURN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD EXCEPT FOR THE LOOTERS! WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT! HA HA,HA,LOL LMAO 🤣😂😂😂😂
The first thing to go? Honey you don’t have well trained professional officers now. You mean the first thing to go will be your legal fund.
let them do it, the best lession’s in life are often learned the hard way.
everyone should be purchasing a firearm if they haven’t already. “no mo police” means you either protect yourself or become a victim
Whenever you’re mouth is moving, it’s a lie!!!!
