"This is a spine-chilling and nightmarish name for a masterful idea, 'defund the police,'" Cleaver said. "I wish we could get rid of that title. What I think most people are supporting is the reengineering of police."Establishment Democrats and and left-wing progressives have debated the precise meaning of “defund the police." Some, like Cleaver, argue the phrase shouldn’t be taken literally, but should be considered a catch-all to describe needed police reforms.
Cleaver then told Perino about a situation involving a white friend whose son struggled with schizophrenia. One day, Cleaver's friend called the police for help as his son brandished a knife in the man's front yard. "It all ended in his son being shot, I think, 13 times in the front yard," Cleaver said, making the point that most "thoughtful people" are calling for a "unit of the police department that is trained in how to deal with those issues."“Defunding police means defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math.
"This is an excellent opportunity for us to change and change for the better," Cleaver added. "I want police and I want good police."Get all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
I truly believe there will be a very small but growing set of Democrats who will seek to defund the police because as AOC said she doesn't want just money taken away she wants them defunded,, gone!!
You have upset the Manny
I suppose that the only way we will know for sure if this is a good idea or not is to see how well the city gets along without a police force. It could be a very interesting Forth of July!

Rep. Scott Tipton ousted in Colorado GOP primaryThe fifth-term congressman lost to Lauren Boebert, the owner of a restaurant where servers open-carry and who is supportive of the 'QAnon' conspiracy theory. How many people have literally died in her restaurant from accidently shooting themselves or others? Shameful she would own such a Wild West establishment where people literally probably die. Defend yourself from what? Seems weird to not put the fact that she’s a Q lunatic in the lede but hey go off Politico

Rep. Gallego: 'It is clear that this President has warped the information stream''Because of his love of Putin and Russia, it has made it more difficult, in my opinion, for briefers and people that inform the people of what is happening to keep him up to date on Russian activity,' Rep. Gallego says. 'That has caused a lot problems.' Russia Gate Hoax says what? Trump has put more trade restrictions on Russia than any other President. It was Obama that told russian ambassador after the election he could do more for putin. MSNBC at it again

Rep.

That famous COUNTERPUNCHER 🛑 The Donald is the spokesman for the radical right billionaire class of wealthy donors... Why aren't these funders so incensed about the Trump/Putin thing? This relationship might be deeper than we think...

Rep. Sherrill: Trump needs to ‘commit to getting to the bottom’ of Russian bounty intelRegarding US intel that Russians purportedly offered bounties to Taliban fighters to kill Americans, Rep. Sherrill says Pres. Trump needs to 'commit to getting to the bottom of this and if this is credible, that there are repercussions for the Russians.' It's funny how Democrats all believed the dossier, yet it wasn't deemed credible enough to be used in January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment... Hitler realizing his regime is soon over,asked Nazis to sabotage Germany because in his narcissistic mind Germans were weak and didn’t deserve him. Expect these few months left of Trump’s presidency whether loses or drops out to be full of narcissistic rage,sabotage, and blaming. Americans are taught to fight for our RIGHTS. For 'liberty' for 'freedom' (from the government). What about civic DUTIES? Sacrificing for the good of others? No wonder we elected a buffoon. No wonder we're dying from ignorance. No wonder we're the laughingstock of the world.

Rep. Jayapal: SCOTUS Louisiana decision 'incredibly important'Rep. Jayapal on possible Russians bounties to Taliban to kill Americans: “What is the president hiding about his relationship with Putin and Putin’s influence over him that he would allow American troops to die in the field? That is just unconscionable.' Who is this liar The military is an American institution. Their goal is “to destroy American institutions.” Steve Bannon, CPAC January, 2017. NOBODY HAS EVER PAID ATTENTION TO THAT STATEMENT AND I BELIEVE IT IS THE CORE OF THE REPUBLICAN VALUES AND THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED. Well, you know, it isn't a new thing at all. Did Obama fund the bounties on American soldier's heads with those pallets of cash in 2010?
