Let’s not forget what this is all about. They want him out so he doesn’t face charges and investigation for killing 14K NY’ers in Nursing Homes. Democrat politicians are serial sexual predators and are protected by the machine from victims and prosecution- until they become a liability.
Support to redistribute police department funding has decreased among Americans since August after a summer of protests had erupted across the country against racial injustice and police brutality, a recent Ipsos/USA TODAY poll found.
The call to redistribute police budgets stemmed from Black Lives Matter activists and protesters who called to “defund the police” after the deaths of unarmed Black Americans at the hands of police, such as George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
While some believe defunding the police is a call to get rid of law enforcement completely, many activists behind the slogan intended to make a more nuanced argument for police budgets to be steered toward community social programs so officers were less often required to take on roles better suited to social workers.
Only 18% of respondents supported the movement known as “defund the police,” and 58% said they opposed it. Though white Americans (67%) and Republicans (84%) were much more likely to oppose the movement, only 28% of Black Americans and 34% of Democrats were in favor of it.
“Don’t defund the police department. We need them here to keep law and order,” said Kevin Hayworth, 66, of Garner, Iowa, who is white. “We need our police department just as they are.”
And the responses were even more negative when Americans were asked if they thought the police should be abolished or eliminated, with 67% overall saying they were opposed, including a majority of Black Americans and Democrats.
But respondents were less opposed to the idea of redirecting police funds to social services, though a 57% majority was still against the idea. Forty-three percent of Americans supported the idea. Those numbers represented a slight decline from August, after the peak of the protests, when 53% were opposed and 47% were in favor of redirecting police spending.
Respondent Valda Pugh, 67, a retiree from Louisville, Kentucky, believes that when the call to defund the police began, people didn’t fully understand the concept. “When it first surfaced, I think people had the wrong definition of what that meant. We still obviously need a police force. We need them in full force.”
Steve Laskowitz, 73, of Boca Raton, Florida, agreed.
“I think it’s misguided,” said Laskowitz, who was among those surveyed. “I don’t think anybody wants to defund the police. I think we might want to restructure how the police budget is spent, better training, better analysis of the people who become police and more efforts towards community involvement.”
Support for the effort to redirect police spending was clearly divided along political and racial lines.
Eighty-four percent of Republicans polled support fully funding police budgets, while only33% of Democrats would like to keep police budgets at their current levels. The survey found that 67% of Democrats support redistributing portions of police budgets to social programs, compared with only 16% of Republicans.
“I don’t like that concept, and I thought the minute it came out ‘defund’ was a horrible word. ‘Reallocate’ would be the correct word,” said Mary DeLucco, a Democrat from Portland, Oregon. “Police are already defunded. … We’re already understaffed in Oregon for police issues. We had five shootings yesterday, and cops are having a hard time to get to those locations. They’re just not enough of them.”
Support for the redistribution of money was also divided by the race of voters. Sixty-three percent of Black voters support distributing portions of police funds to social programs, while 35% of white voters do. Most white voters surveyed supported fully funding the police: 65% say police budgets should remain the same compared, with 37% of Black voters.
Pugh, who is Black, also told USA TODAY that money shouldn’t be taken away from police but “can just reallocate some of that to do more training.”
Philip Hamel, 47, of Agawam, Massachusetts, who is white, called defunding the police a “recipe for full-scale trouble.”
“And if they try that we may have a prospect that people may stand up and say: ‘No way, ma’am. We’re taking up arms and forming a militia.’ If it does, I hate to prophesize it, we may have civil (war) No. 2, but this time crazy socialist versus true-blooded Americans,” Hamel said.
The poll was conducted March 1-2 from an online sample of 1,165 Americans. Rather than a margin of error, Ipsos measured its “credibility interval,” which it put at plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.
This is how corrupt and complicit the FBI is – and how stupid they think we are.
This is a rather remarkable soundbite all things considered.
Today, during his congressional testimony FBI Director Chris Wray was asked whether Antifa members participated in the January 6th Capitol Hill riot. Director Wray says the FBI “has seen no evidence” of Antifa participating. However, on January 14th the FBI literally arrested Antifa leader John Sullivan for his role in the planning, coordination and participation in the January 6th Capitol Hill riot. WATCH:
John Sullivan is a left-wing agent provocateur within the larger Antifa movement. On the day of the Capitol Hill riots Sullivan embedded himself with the MAGA movement and recorded his activity.
January 14th, John Sullivan was indicted for his action.
Sullivan operated several social media accounts under the username “JaydenX.”
Sullivan traveled to Washington DC to participate in agitating the crowd toward violence.
On the day of the January 6th riot operation Sullivan admitted publicly, via social media, his intent to infiltrate the large crowd by posing as a supporter of President Trump.
The FBI interviewed Sullivan and subsequently issued a warrant for his arrest. The affidavit supporting the arrest is [HERE] and below.
[…] “In the video, once SULLIVAN reaches the Speaker’s Lobby, where Victim 1 was eventually shot, SULLIVAN can be heard telling one of the law enforcement officers guarding the doors, as seen in the screenshot below, “We want you to go home. I’m recording and there’s so many people and they’re going to push their way up here. Bro, I’ve seen people out there get hurt. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
Join us in welcoming Chief Rodney Harrison as our new Chief of Department!”To the residents of NYC, I’m here to protect you, serve you… In order to make this city safe, we have to work together & I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
This guy committed non violent violations. He followed the crowd (many of whom were waved in by cops) into the Capitol. MEANWHILE ANTIFA AND BLM Agent Provocateurs’ who instigated the crowd and burned down American cities last year are released , charges dropped.
On Saturday, May 7th, 1910 former NYPD ‘Chief of Police’ Thomas Byrnes passed away. His personal residence was estimated to be worth $550,000 in 1910. The http://www.officialdata.org inflation calculator estimates that would be worth $15,144,221.05 in today’s dollars. Byrnes also owned appoximately another half dozen properties in Midtown and Lower Manhattan when he passed, and a vacation estate just outside of Red Bank, New Jersey. He also owned two luxury yachts, one a steamer and the other a sail [He was a “Commodore” at the New York Yacht Club] , and had approximately $350,000 in individual stock holdings. Not bad for a former Chief of Detectives. He must have been some brilliant stock picker.
