Guess who is their personal security? Off duty officers or former Police. Fucking morons. Yeah let’s defund the Police and let anarchy reign.

Look up Chris Martin Palmer, an NBA reporter, who tweeted out initially to burn it all down...until it got too close to his gated community...then they became “animals” and, of course, all was fine because security was called it...he was all for the rioting...as long as it stayed in downtown LA and not his posh community.

I’ve been warning of this for years. The goal is to take all local police forces and replace them with a unified TSA style organization. Complete with a union.

Much easier to control and manipulate.

I think some of these celebrities need to take the vacation of a lifetime where there is NO police presence. It is certainly exciting. We could tape it and make it into a regular TV show. I would watch. Much better than Survivor.

In a vacant rowhouse down the street from where Freddie Gray was arrested five years ago, in the wake of the rioting that erupted after his death of injuries suffered in police custody, Tubman House was born.

Meant to provide a gathering space and fresh produce for its Sandtown-Winchester neighbors, it was among a host of initiatives large and small, governmental and community-based, that emerged in response to the unrest like the green shoots now poking through the soil of the house’s garden.

Everyone, it seemed, wanted to address what they saw as the root causes of the fury — from issues of policing and criminal justice to inequities in education and jobs to the grinding poverty that underlies it all.

“People rushed in, only to leave a short time later,” said Dominique Conway, who founded the house.

Baltimore Residents Blaming Murder Increase on Lack of Police After BLM Protesters Demanded Pullback.

Black American residents of Baltimore, Maryland, are now blaming a lower police presence for the city’s soaring murder rate despite three years of Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists insisting that police be pulled from their neighborhoods.

Baltimore has now experienced higher murder rates for three years in a row after riots and BLM-sponsored protests began rocking the city after the death of Freddie Gray, a suspect who died in police custody in the spring of 2015, National Public Radio (NPR) reported.

Yes, the police in these areas will be defunded.

It is only a matter of whether the city councils do it intentionally or if happens due to lack of tax revenue.

This is the Detroit model. The area becomes unsafe, and people with a choice on where to live leave, causing a crash in property values, a bunch of foreclosed non tax revenue generating properties become eyesores, accelerating the effect, and more people leave.

As this happens, the revenue sources for the local government dry up, and the police (along with everything else) are defunded. Detroit is so broke DPD cant afford gas for patrol cars at sometimes.

I actually agree with defunding your police department if you want to destroy your city. the alternative model (Baltimore) where you just incentivize the cops to stop working and continue to pay them is much more expensive and ends at the same result.

It's a big country, if some cities want to self destruct, the people who enjoy that will self select to participate and everyone else can move elsewhere. People get the government they want, it's all part of living in a democracy.
