• Defund tha Police

    From Aaron Thomas@1:275/99 to All on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 21:42:28
    In an effort to get a few extra black votes, Biden will be signing an official Defund the Police bill on the 2 year anniversary of George Floyd's death (he and Joe Biden presumably were friends.)

    "Biden's anticipated executive action will order federal agencies to overhaul their use-of-force guidelines, incentivize local police departments to curtail chokeholds and no-knock warrants, create a national list of officers disciplined for misconduct, and cut back on the transfer of military equipment to police, according to the New York Times."

    In related news, brainwashed liberals were recently arguing that "Democrats don't want to defund the police, but they want to FUND the police."

    It seems as though Joe's regime is not satisfied with recent crime statistics, and that they have not had as many rapes or murders as they had hoped.

    No, he's not.

    "Biden's anticipated executive action will order federal agencies to overhaul their use-of-force guidelines, incentivize local police departments to curtail chokeholds and no-knock warrants, create a
    national list of officers disciplined for misconduct, and cut back on
    the transfer of military equipment to police, according to the New York Times."

    Which of those refers to defunding the police?

    In related news, brainwashed liberals were recently arguing that "Democrats don't want to defund the police, but they want to FUND the police."

    They do. Just differently. None of which has anything to do with the policy changes you listed above.

    It seems as though Joe's regime is not satisfied with recent crime statistics, and that they have not had as many rapes or murders as they had hoped.

    Where's the defunding? Choke holds aren't "funding." No-knock warrants aren't "funding." Anonymity for disciplined officers isn't "funding." The transfer
    of military equipment isn't "funding."

    You're claiming something that is in no way supported by your sources.

    Jeff.

    You failed to list any "defunding." What you also failed to list, is that
    Biden will be requiring all federal LEOs to stop any police abuse of force
    that they witness.

    This is also an executive order, not an "official Defund the Police bill." The portion of the Times article that you quoted even says that. It applies only to federal law enforcement officers. It does not affect police funding at all.

    Since you clearly had the Times article right in front of you as you wrote this, and still managed to misrepresent it, you were, or reasonable should
    have known that you were, lying.

    How very snake-like. Literally. That's what the proto-snake in Genesis did;
    he lied in an attempt to manipulate people. Just like you.

    Jeff.

    create a national list of officers disciplined for misconduct

    I don't have a problem with this, so long as it gives full details of the misconduct. Apparently, police offices are either not great at checking references, or the references lie a lot.

    It is sort of like how some of these mass shooters recently were on FBI or other law enforcement watch lists and yet they did not do anything about it until after they'd shot someplace up. It is better to get out ahead of potential problems, and being able to more easily check out potential
    officers is a way for police offices to do so.

    What do any of those things have to do with "defund the police"?
    Why would anyone object to any of them? They all make perfect sense to
    me.
