Paul Cozzens posted a picture of a soldier with a gun which warned those who support defunding the police that 'Once you've managed to defund & eliminate the police, there's nobody protecting you from us.'

Iron County, Utah commissioner Paul Cozzens has removed a picture he posted to Facebook which suggested that violence could be brought to those who support the movement to defund the police.

The meme shows a soldier with a gun on his lap and the words:"Warning to BLM & Antifa—Once you've managed to defund & eliminate the police, there's nobody protecting you from us. Remember that.", Cozzens' post, now deleted, was made in a Facebook discussion thread started by Salt Lake County Council member Aimee Winder Newton. The original post theorized that calls to defund the police have caused an uptick in sales of ammunition and firearms.

"If people don't believe that law enforcement will be able to protect them, they will find a way to protect their families and properties," wrote Cozzens."Did you know that AR-15′s have been selling out the day they ship in for the past few months? I believe having a police department is the best way to ensure public safety ... Let's be careful what we wish for."

simaleerbg Cops have my tax dollars thrown at them just so they can shoot people's pets, murder people in the streets because they 'felt threatened' & beat their wives when the day is over. Put tax dollars toward the sciences & education. Not state sponsored thugs & white supremacists.

Money makes the thug cops go round.

FBI director says antifa is an ideology, not an organizationFBI Director Chris Wray testified before Congress that antifa is an ideology, not an organization. That puts him at odds with President Trump who has said he would designate antifa — an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militants — a terror group. ANTIFA is NOT 'an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militants'. It is a term the far right uses to try to demonize anyone who objects to fascism. Do better , and stop promoting right wing extremist propaganda. Reminder: Fascism is what we fought in World War II. Does he really think Americans are that stupid to believe that! Not on your life!!! 🇺🇸 You had a good run Mr Wray

Utah officer charged with assault after dog bites Black manProsecutors say a Utah police officer was charged with aggravated assault after ordering a dog to attack a Black man who had put his hands in the air So did any dogs need to bite the officer for half a minute or so when he was arrested, since as a cop he might have had a gun and the police might have been nervous about it? Stop....it... He did not go on the ground when the officers told him to.
