John Legend, Common, Lizzo, the Weeknd and Talib Kweli have signed an open letter calling for the defunding of police to spend more on education and healthcare

The open letter ties the deaths of unarmed black people like, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and others to the disproportionately devastating effects the COVID-19 pandemic has had on black communities. “The COVID-19 deaths and the deaths caused by police terror are connected and consequential to each other,” it states. “The United States does not have a national healthcare system.

Instead, we have the largest military budget in the world, and some of the most well-funded and militarized police departments in the world, too. Policing and militarization overwhelmingly dominate the bulk of national and local budgets. In fact, police and military funding has increased every single year since 1973, and at the same time, funding for public health decreased every year, crystallized most recently when the Trump administration eliminated the U.S.

Who's going to take care of your neighborhood if we defund the police? You all? How are you going to protect the young black children from killing other young black children? Think about that!!

Screw john legend!

These racist cowards will be hiding behind their mansions and guards while Americans get robbed, assaulted and murdered by thugs...BlueLivesMatter....TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸

They call to defund the police as they sit in their mansions or the Hamptons with their personal body guards.

Hollywood elite have money and can protect themselves with bodyguards so can do without any police protections. They got rich because of us so what if we don't watch their movies?

How about not hiring former police officer as private security. Idiots! This gray mass listens! DefundPolice

Dickheads

Totally out of touch.Never had to walk home at night obviously.

Really - NO

Uh-huh...

Tell you what. How about the leftist non-essential 'celebrities' give up all their money for education and healthcare and their security details, and their gated homes first. THEN if all goes well, defunding the police could be considered a relevant action. Go ahead. We'll wait.

We need your phone number when someone breaks into my home i can call you to help me

Yeah because they will have private security to keep the mayhem from affecting them. They should call for reform of public sector unions instead so that bad cops with misconducts can be fired instead of enjoying job protection.

'Lizzo' could single-handedly fund education and healthcare if she just halved her grocery bill.

Wow. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

DefendPolice and our country

DefundCelebrities and we need police. We need protection. We can’t live without Law and Order. But we can definitely live without celebrities.

Good thing you can all afford your own security. Not like the rest of us. Why dont you speak for your neighbothood. Not everyone else. Kids have to now live in burnt out neighborhoods. Elderly are afraid to leave their homes. Ridiculous! Hope you never need a cop.

Who’s privileged again?

Just not private security

In the state of California the budget for education is 43 billion, and the budget for healthcare is 140 billion, compared to 14 billion for Police, Fire, Prison, and the state court system combined

Seeing that they signed this they need to sign on to the 'I WANT CALL THE POLICE WHEN I NEED THEM'.

Please advise them that No one elected them into Office. If they want to get rid of their Personal Security for good. They might get some Attention.

I hope the criminals of the world hit their houses first.

Stupid asshats that have their own security guards that are armed. They are sellouts and could care less about the hood.

Hahaha 😄 I love it. Please do, unfund the police so that town can explode, you fools. 🤦‍♂️

I agree they should have been better educated.

Hey celebs! Get off your glitter unicorns & take off the rosy colored glasses. Step into the real world with the rest of us. You will see your ridiculous ideas won't work. But if you insist on trying defunding, you go first. Us, in the real world can tell you how it will end.

Rolling Stone pushing this absolute BS as if it’s reality!!! These 3 don’t even shop for food! Cook nor go the 7/11 ! The6blive in GATED PMC secured homes! These are the who defended Harvey Weinstein! THINK what HYPOCRITE 💩 these are

I'm sure they're all experts on the subject

DefundCelebrities

Sheer idiocy. Celebs are completely clueless, and out of touch.

Rich folk in gated communities with private security call for bloodshed & mayhem in poor neighborhoods. This is why we need to ignore anything these millionaires have to say. When they actually donate a large portion of their salary to help black communities, then they can speak.

How about you guys live in the smalll apartment and sell your house and pay for the others healthcare? Why do u decide for my tax where to go?

They want to let criminals overrun your communities.

Great, they can Opt Out of Police Protection ☺️🤷

I suggest we tax these clowns 90% instead, so that we can fund the programs they support. Something tells me these clowns do not live in a poor black neighborhoods.

Government education and healthcare have proven to be extremely successful. Please show me that the Government has the authority to do either. Those reserved to the States or the People. Straight out of the Constitution. Read it. That’s right - it is out of date.

How did black people outsource their voice to artistes and celebrities? It used to be that black people had thinkers and intellectuals at the forefront of the struggle.

These two posts by ChrisPalmerNBA is a microcosm of every rich liberal living in their gated communities in America.

Since they are so concerned about black lives, why do they contribute so eagerly to Planet Parenthood, where a great number of black unborn babies are destroyed? It seems not all black lives matter after all!

Why not use your money also but better yet move into these neighborhoods and use your celebrity to make change But be careful with the defunding it will backfire as evidenced last week

Sure thing, but these arseholes dontnget tonhave private security.

Lizzo should defund her personal chef

Once you give up your private security and leave you gated masions we’ll think about it !

If you have your own private security, your opinion on this issue doesn't count.

Celebrities demanding the complete destruction of black communities is a shit look. WhyWeHateHollywood 🗑

Make sure these folks provide their phone numbers on the petition so when police assistance is needed the public can call them to come out instead....privilegedhollywoodpeople

The weeknd who stole a song from Katy Perry now wants to support oppressed people

Those 3 say that? Shocker.

Stupid Persons

After his fight with the bear, he is completely mad!!

This should read “John Legend, Common, Lizzo, The Weeknd and Talib Kweli are dumb as hell.”

I guess you can say that when you can afford your own security.

Sounds a perfect opportunity for chaos. Can just imagine the good ol boys taking potshots with their automatics. Watch the celebs crying when it's their livelihoods ruined.

How far up your own arse do you have to be to be able to come out with this crap? Virtue signalling luvvies without a care in the world deciding how the rest of us plebs should lead our lives!

You have a whole continent, go make wakanada in Africa, n*ggers.

This tweet backfired bigly.

I’m sure that will work really well.

Celebrities want attention, hopefully the vast majority can see this for the empty virtue signalling that it is

Let’s rob them as soon as they get the bill passed.

Looser’s AntifaTerrorists DemocratsTheEnemyWithin

This is probably why they are in the entertainment, they are stupid.

Are they living in the Hunger Games?

Over the last 50 years Minority Communities (like Baltimore) have received 22 TRILLION $ to 'save the inner cities' for education, free healthcare - 70% (SEVENTY Percent) SEVENTY%! of THOSE FUNDS went NOT to the poor, but TO THOSE (DEMOCRAT ELITES) who MANAGE the FUNDS. CNN

Defunding the police will NOT solve the problem, it will only create MORE problems. But, I'm sure these people don't know and don't care. They're just virtue signaling. If police actually DO get defunded, more innocent people will end up dying, not less. DefundHollywood

Eff-You-See-Kay You All. Celebrity is done!

They are wrong

Out of touch *elites* that don’t remember where they came from.

They all use private security! Lol so out of touch with REALITY....

Give them more money. Whatever rich security celebrities say I do the opposite.

I'll bite. If you let me carry my own gun in public (I'm in California), I'd consider defunding the police.

How about we not ask actors and singers for their opinions on policy...or for that matter anything.

I still go to high school so I’m clearly one of the only people who agree to this. Defunding the police isn’t fucking lowering wages, it’s literally not giving them as much firepower as the military have. How dumb can you be?

Fuck those rich blacks , porn and drugs.

Also, I don't want to see a single goddamn police officer at the next award show. Not a single police officer at their next concert, movie premier, talk show appearance. Not. One. It's time for these super-precious assholes to put their money where their mouths are.

It amazes me how stupid celebrities are! Especially these idiots! Maybe just let the army police the streets!

Make it fair. When police departments get defunded, every liberal snob who signed this defunds their security. In the mean time, we're gonna need each one of them to release which security firm they use so we know how many are using police officers for their security detail.

Fire your security teams and donate the money to the same institutions then we’ll talk because you’re actually serious, until then STFU

Ok how about the police protect and serve those who respect them and as for the other imbeciles...fuck them.

Kathryn Hill Kathill2 Love John Legen, but really disappointed that he would take this stance. John, what are you thinking? Can you imagine living in a place with no law and order. I believe that we need to come together as one and there be no prejudice.

Sometimes I think John Legend likes being on the wrong side for the fun of it Like, doesn't the dude have much left after making a beautiful song?

Sure, from there rich probably overwhelmingly white neighborhoods

Let’s do it! Dems in one place living by their beliefs-no police, guns, body guards with guns, dem politicians no protection with guns. Reps in another place with police and guns and common sense. Let’s see where the criminals go. Hint not where police and guns are! Give it 2wks!

You'd think the rioting and looting would show them why simply defunding the police is a horrible idea. If someone breaks into their mansions, I bet they're the first ones to call the police.

You can’t defund the police. Defunding them sends us in to anarchy. The police are needed to protect us from those with no impulse control. Changes need to be made, defunding is not the answer.

I bet they'll still have security and gated communities.

Of course they would; that’s what rich virtue signallers do

The harm theyre going to do to poor black citizens who need the police unlike these rich famous people living in mansions will take years to recover. Change laws and the system but defunding police? Oh what a disaster it will be

/cringe

Commifornia isn't going to like not having enforcement to get their tax money.

farking Idiots

Easy to dis cops when you've got private security

intellectual retardation at its finest. let their houses be looted and family shot to death. smfh...

defunddemocrats

Would like to go back on their timelines and see who among them have also said civilians shouldn’t own firearms and it should only be military and law enforcement.

It is easy to say that when u live in mansions with bodyguards & gates. we dont see any of these antifa thugs & looters break in hollywood multi million dollar houses do we! That s cuz they r funding these assholes

So effing what.

Sounds noble, but it means laying off police. Who gets laid off first? Old? Short? Fat? Is there a performance test? Salary based? Seniority?

According to a recent study by Johns Hopkins, more than 250,000 people in the United States die every year because of medical mistakes. Let’s defund all hospitals and health systems.

Can we talk about child hunger...directly caused by Lizzo’s eating requirements?

Are these idiots aware of who will run the police if the force is not taxpayer funded? That's right, billionaires and corporations. If they think there's a systemic problem right now...

protesters let's ransack celebrity homes, easier and better value than some of these shops that are already empty and on fire!!!

Not everyone can afford to hire their own private army for protection. But I can buy a Glock 19 and AR-15.

they said hiding behind their armed security and gated communities

Dumbasses

Back to wild, wild west in LA but these guys will be in the mansions!

They're are making fun of you and just sit there and take it? What a joke

Why would anyone listen to these jesters?

Please post their addresses.

Who’s common and why can’t we upgrade them to rare or epic?

Perhaps they will soon realise their folly....

No problem Rufus. Things will mello out at some point. Cops won’t care. You got robbed, sorry, here’s a report number. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. You’ll be begging for the Cops when the fools come to your door. Haaaa

Shocker people in gated communities with bodyguards who are armed ask for police who protect all Americans to be defunded. These people are peak stupid

And what will John Legend do when some crazy ends up inside his mansion? Who’s he going to call? Paul Blart? idiot

I for one look forward to the Mad Max raiders that will take control over lawless neighborhoods.

... and do they hire private security?

These rich virtue signaling a-holes will be in their mansions with hired security sipping their tea and laughing while we poor folk will be living The Purge in our neighborhoods without law enforcement. Hollywood doesn't care about us! When will we get that?

What do they care? They can afford private security.

Yeah let’s take it from training in bullshit pc crap.

Did they leave their armed bodyguards behind?

Wow! More rich people thinking what's best for everyone...

Liberal jerks

But they get to keep their armed guards, right?

Good way to add fuel to the fire, guys.

Safe behind their guarded communities, with security guards on their payroll. Do they really want America to descend into anarchy and lawlessness? Do we want noone to come when we call 911? This is the most absurd thing I've heard so far this year.

These thug mob rule idiots, sit in thier ivory towers rich off the working people and want to take the police so we are not protected. education they want is to corrupt kids with thier filth and hate. These people are vile , evil people who have now declared war on the people

Ok! When all of them get rid of their personal security, We, the People May consider it! Give us a call when that happens!

What happens after the police are defunded. Private security? Vigilantism? Are there courts? Are there Laws? Anyone thinking about this?

'Defund the police' sounds great when you have private security in your gated community.

Yeah,screw the poor right? They all have private security.

Celebrity purge

The first step will be to hand out longer and harsher sentences to perpetrators of violent crime, get them off the streets and keep them off. Prisons need to be tougher on inmates as they are too coddled in there. Until that happens decent people will never be safe.

Rich folk in gated communities with private security call for bloodshed & mayhem in poor neighbourhoods.

Get rid of their private security then. Otherwise, the hypocrites can zip it.

Aka Rich Celebs who live in gated communities call for the unleashing of black gangs in black neighbourhoods to ensure more David Dorns happen. But don't worry - they'll be ok. Just the unwashed blacks have to live out their utopia.

Who’s the weirdo on the right?

They have private security Fuck them

You print this BS ? How about security guards etc Who you gonna call ? How utterly stupid.....

Fuck them.

Imagine if one of these rich pricks got robbed they would be screaming for the police 🤣

Organised crime bosses agree just do it 🤣

These people are insufferable.

Then they don’t get to have security or private gates

To believe every person in every group thinks exactly the same is not only stupid, but defies simple logic. Friends, families, churches, co-workers and so on. It just isn't logical!

Every one of these people are stone ASSHOLES OF FHE HIGHEST DEGREE!

Literally the dumbest of the dumb ideas....and people.

Lizzo needs to defund her food bill and donate that money

This is hilarious 😂😂😂 sooo many police officers are black! So rich blacks are going to cut poor blacks jobs!!! Can’t make this up seriously 😂😂😂

They have money. Write some checks.

This was a true leader!

People who can afford private security want to defund the police. Hilarious. 🙄

Will they cancel security for themselves too? Idiots. Johnny 'Legend' 😄😄😄

Might need to build a wall around their gated estates

Wow. Just wow. I will NOT be preached to by these pompous millionaires with their private securities. Sit in their luxury why the call on everyone to be destoryed. LAW AND ORDER ALL DAY LONG .

Can we drop all criminals in front of their gated, SECURED communities? LyingHypocrites

Oh thank God! I wasn't gonna loot poor neighborhoods but now I have no fear of cops catching me because there won't be any!

Can we use their income to fund these programs instead?

FUCK CELEBRITIES I HATE THEM ALL NOW

LOL

Defund police: yes. Allow the government to keep the money: no.

In 2006, Common was a model for photos of The Gap's fall season collection, appearing on posters in stores. Later that year, he performed in The Gap's 'Holiday in Your Hood'. 🤡

Completely ridiculous, but, it's Rolling Stone. Settle that rape lawsuit yet?

Capital idea! I can't think of anything that could possibly go wrong once that's implemented. 😑🔥💥

celebrities the parasites are the enemy of the people evidently

We can fund both. Celebrities create all or nothing, us versus them, scenarios.

They want us dead

Ok, so when a woman is raped, what will they do? Sing 'Imagine'? Offer thoughts and prayers?

The better not steal her Fried Chicken bucket, because she will be the first to cry 'no fair'

The police should route some protestors into the rich neighborhoods of these celebs for a few hours.

John Legend is as dumb as they come. Don’t know abt the others, though this isn’t a good sign.

What could go wrong ?

Please do it! They will beg for the police within a year...

The radical left wing “Anti American Celebrity Tour 2020.”

What do these morons think will happen once the police are no longer incentivised to keep law and order? They won't. Then the peaceful rioters come to their neighbourhood.

putrid.

Let’s do the firefighters!

Bunch of brainwashed !diots

Are they also calling for defunding their personal and gated community's security? or just the law enforcement that protects us commoners

Education where more people are radicalized? No thanks.

Ya bc entitled Hollywood hypocrites living in mansions with guards and security systems can say anything they want bc it doesn’t affect these jack wagons

Celebrities calling for a genocide of minorities is very 2020.

This isn't going as well as you had thought it would.

Celebrities who can afford their own private, armed security demand the peasants go unprotected.

Cool cool cool. So you guys are going to give up your personal protection and move out of your gated communities when this goes down, right. Right!?

Start in their neighborhoods.

Defunding results in even more traffic violation farming, results in more unjustified altercations, leads right back to where we are now.

Don't talk shit...John legend can't spell

boycottHollywood ,boycottHollywood boycottHollywood

Are they going to pay for private security for the rest of us?

Sure, but they should give up all police protection. Money where mouth is.

Interesting that they are willing to put on paper a demonstration of how absolutely dumb they are. What happens when you have no police? Anarchy. Spending all the money in the world in health care & education will not make an anarchical society any fairer, more just, or better!

I can tell Mr. Rodgers show was popular amongst these people because they are clearly in the Land of Make Believe.

Breaking: Uneducated celebrities call for increased inner-city crime rates

Idiots, they’ll be the first ones to call 911 when an ‘undesirable’ starts scaling their walls.

Go ahead. Burn urban America to the ground for all I care.

“I can’t wait to rob these homes,” says literally every rioter.

Yep because that will solve all the problems. Are there reasonable thoughtful leaders anymore?

Start in the Hollywood hills. Their homes burn first.

Great idea!

Gated communities millionaires against the police protecting citizens.

These ppl aren’t putting their money toward actual change just anything that gets them likes and more monies

richprivilege

Perhaps celebrities in their ivory towers should sit this one out

Go to hell, entitled SOBs.

Why do these celebs hate black and brown people so much?

I WOULD ASK FROM JOHN LEGEND, COMMON, LIZZO AND TALIB KWELI, FOR THEM PROVIDE THE MONEY FOR THE EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE AND LEAVE THE PROTECTION ALONE

The government is the absolute worst service provider. These people are idiots.

Wish I could afford private security

Hey Joh n, Common and anyone else slap on a vest unlock your gates and come help patrol the streets

Will they now help protect the community how many homicides in Chicago this past weekend?

Pillars of society.....Legends missus put him up to this!

Looters, murderers, rapists, thieves & violence in general will cease to exist if there is no police? What does a person's IQ have to be to understand the concept of cause & effect? What is the goal, anarchy?

And they don't even try to hide it.

Will they then move out of guarded & gated communities, back into the cities amongst the rest of the everyday people What a joke.....

That's funny! They think that once those fund are reallocated that they will be used for education! Those funds will go to pet projects if they are nor raided by elected leaders 1st!

THE LEFTS HYPOCRITES

This makes me so mad. Come out from behind your gated communities and private security. Celebrities have no idea of the real world. I personally will never buy anything from people who support this. I hope many more believe like I do.

Defund their security details.

Maybe they'll call Ghostbusters

people who can afford private security don't give a crap about those that can't.

and everyone without private security is screwed or....?

And when the looting reaches the gates of their secluded homes who will they be calling?

If you're black in America you get 2 choices: Mark Fuhrman or defunded police departments.

Sure. Starting with their Streets. And outlaw commercial security on the same streets along with gates and fences. You know, just to see how the pilot REALLY works out for ordinary people.

Lizzo would prefer more spent on xl pizzas & cheeseburgers

Wonder what the police unions will say about this nonsense? NYPDnews

Well I would expect it from Common as he is a cop hater. John Legend is just an idiot and I don’t know Lizzo.

Translation: a handful of celebutards call for stupid shit. 🙄

Your bodyguards are ex cops so how this is it?

No private security or gated communities then.

Dummies who live in gated communities

Lol, way to ensure we don't get reforms.

They really live in clown world

Who gets to loot their homes first?

Good bc the cops aren't doing their jobs anyways, you want a race war? Your seeking a 2nd Revolution ? Wait until the Combat Veterans are left to take back are streets 🤣🙃🙂 you'll be BEGGING for help then

How can you defund them and increase police presence in black communities at the same time?

WTF is that thing in the middle?

Good grief

Idiots.

Public Education the biggest money pit in the mix......

Defund these assholes.

Really brave stand taken by those living behind security walls protected by armed guards. 🙄

Great move. Assuming they are defunding private security as well.

So they’re all supporting people’s 2nd Amendment rights now?

John legend is a complete fool. His wife is even dumber than he is.

Ok. First they need to do away with security of any sort.

Did they protest i wonder?

They can get rid of their hired security (who are sometimes off duty officers) and when someone breaches their gated property they can deal with it themselves. Out of touch f*cks.

Morons...

Who is the giant chubby one?

It needs to start in the wealthy neighbourhoods

So all the African American police officers will be unemployed

So they have signed a open letter demonstrating that they are complete and total idiots.

They are willing to defund police because it will literally have no affect on them.

Liberals: Take away guns! We have the police! Also liberals: Defund and f**k the police!

But 80 per cent of black homicides are black men killing other black men.

They deffo needed a better education

Defund the police.....wow.....rich arrogant and thick.....why don't they donate to education and health care

Are they firing their security staff? What a joke and a way to insure Trumps re-election So thanks nitwit celebs !

Okay. Which police departments should we start with?

Wankers

What idiots. Then everywhere would look like NYC. Great plan 🙄

That’s totally absurd and ridiculous

Their ignorance is breathtaking. Stuck to whatever it is you do best which is clearly not public policy

Protecting citizens is literally one of the only things our gov should be doing. Let’s just get rid of the gov. I don’t think they should be doing 99% of the shit they do. govIsBadAtEverything

Why does anyone care what rich entitled celebrities think?

Who’s that thing in the middle?

Their security guards probably disagree with these spoiled brats

These elitists have hired armed guards and gated communities, and now they want to take away the police from the plebs (as they consider us). Oh, and they all want the 2nd amendment abolished, so there is no way to defend ourselves.

It's time for celebrities to have some skin in the game. Stop talking about it and do something about it. They have made so much money off people who can't afford to care for their families right now. Stop promising money to bail people out.

Defund police is the most stupidest and dangerous concept I have heard of. These people are funding bail outs and feeding lies to their young fans. Pure evil and disgusting.

BLM has a chance here for real policy change, and this is the best they came up with? smh End qualified immunity? end the drug war? end mandatory minimums? end no-knock raids? break up the Police unions? Independent internal affairs? ...... naw let’s “defund the police”

Cause those areas have been super successful....

Celebrities lol.

Boycott taxes until they are used to benefit people instead of oppress them. YOU are funding the police. Stop.

Are they going to send their own private security out to protect the defenseless?

Right!

Lizzo needs to defund her appetite

Pathetic

But they all have bodyguards?

Easy to say defund the police from you 7000 sq ft mansion in a gated community with armed guards and when you have your own security guards follow you around.

5 idiots

Idiots

Oh yeah, this dumbass.

The same rich celebs who moved out of their black neighbours so they won't get robbed,what to defund the police ?

defund the security around the homes of these fat rich people first, see how they feel about it

Is this an ad for NRA and 2A

Every last one of them can go f*** themselves

Dumbasses.....see when they got looters at their doorstep....they’ll be straight on the phone to the police.

I agree. The police are brutal thugs for the state that dont follow the constitution. However, the military are true American patriots who do follow the constitution, send them in.

Lizzo should defund her grocery account. John should defund the ugly account he and his wife use too.

How dumb do you have to be to say something like that?!

Messages from the Ivory Tower...

So when a woman is being attacked, does she call one of them?

All violent criminals want that as well.

They all have lots of money they could give. Like 90% of their net and still better off than 90% of the people they claim to support. They won't, though. They're fake. It's what they do.

Really? Who do u think these virtue signalling celbs r going to call first if someone is invading their home or tries to steal their car?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 who cares what any of them think. Where John's beard she usually doesn't let him talk

Easy to call for when you live in a gated mansion, in a gated neighborhood with private security. Try 'defunding the police' while living in a neighborhood in North Philly in a apartment with three kids.

I guess the downtrodden can just be even downtroddener if they need the type of help the police are supposed to provide. Fck 'em, right?

'people with enough money to afford private security sign bid to remove police' The slums will get skinnier, the vulnerable more vulnerable, but at least the rich will be able to feel as if they did something 'good'

just so stunningAndBrave ... :(

Yeah let's pay police minimum wage, that'll fix the problem

So the poor must not be policed, celebrities are just idiotic selfish rich people

They said this from a gated high security private community.

Only because they can afford private police. They don’t want it for you, they don’t want you to have it. Why are all Dem’s rich as fuck? Because they profit from a welfare underclass.

invite the mob to your home and EDUCATE them ... for free. Just not sure who's the one getting the lesson...

Stupid is as stupid does. How do people get to the doctor or school through a war zone?

First remove all the radical 'teachers' then get some REAL teachers who actually teach

Beverley Hills first.

I feel they don’t actually give a shit.

These are fundamentally unserious people.

Okay stop protecting at their houses/shows

😂😂😂 Wokeness squared

Sooooo even less resources to catch the killers of young black men when they are shot by other young black men?

Lol an IQ of 13 between the 3 of them.

Crackheads see and crackheads does.

Education? They could start by paying teachers more by getting rid of all the diversity officers and all the other left wing nonsense in schools and teach them how an economy works.

Obviously none of these people actually read the article. If they did they would see it’s calling for defunding of things that increase the militarization of the police. Not defunding the entire police or reducing it to barely anything

Great ... let's start with their neighborhoods

Isn’t the police low funded already? Or is it that just in my hometown

No cops, and no guns... see where these idiots are headed...

Ok no more cops for your neighborhoods. I recommend a pump action shotgun for home defense.

Who do you call if you are raped, car jacked, house broken into, if you are beaten up, business robbed, house set on fire, care set on fire, if you are stalked, if a child is kidnapped, drugged and raped, oh yeah, the police

Who?

Cos if someone armed breaks into your home looking to hurt you it’s always good to call a history teacher or a hospital receptionist

And that Lizzo is no role model as she is a walking heart attack yet to happen , talks about Health? Whata hypocrite

Why do musicians comment on politics publicly? Fine to have their opinions but using their platform just shows that they may be talented but dumb as stumps. Defunding the police will end up with Anarchy and the rich will be targeted first by Crminals. Idiots

I support them if they also ditch their private security, their chauffeurs and private jets.

THEY BETTER NOT CALL THE POLICE TO HELP THEM FOR ANY REASON!!

I want to sign an open letter calling for defunding their bank accounts and transferring into mine. I mean, Common has $45 million. Please share, retweet, and like. I want their money. ALL OF IT.

These so called celebrities should mind their own business hope one day yous will need police and they don’t come. Cops lives matter

Defund Hollywood.

Yep. Let’s defund the police, reduce their pay, so we only attract low IQ’d rednecks who’ll be provided less training, but still be allowed to roam the streets with the same authority as before while carrying a gun. Good plan.

Who?

Cool, the looters will know where to visit next.

Of course they don’t care about the defunding police they have armed security and live behind gates - let the rioters go to their neighborhood tonight to burn it to the ground, invade their houses, steal their shit and will see how quick they change their minds.

Cc: rickygervais 😂😂

Unarmed people shot by police 2019: 19 Whites 9 Blacks 2015: 32 Whites 38 Blacks - Washington Post database

Y’all are hilarious. Who would you call if you had home invaders and there were no cops? Your publicist? Quit pandering.

why aren't any of these special people worried about the 10 shot in Chicago? or any other city? How come it only comes up when a cop does something wrong.. why dont those lives matter?

Idiots

The only reason they signed it, was because they know, it’ll never ever happen! They’re the first to call the police when the slightest thing isn’t right! Pathetic!

IF HE REALLY CARES -Why doesn't John Legend and his buddy George Soros donate to actual programs that can fund better health care for Americans instead of supporting the ANTIFA Anarchy and destruction that he and George Soros fund by the billions?

The Hollywood rich privileged forget where they came from. While you hire your own security/police protection you advocate for leaving regular Americans defenseless by cutting their police protection. Anarchy reached you this week and you cried for the police! Hypocrits! MAGA

Hopefully, your houses get robbed first

Have these clowns been watching the news?

YOU ALL NEED TO BE SHOT WITH RUBBER BULLETS ..

And yet, if the had no police then they would be crying foul when their homes were broken into.

I thought we were supposed to really look at serious solutions? I won’t be distracted by this letter.
