With All This Social Media & Internet Surveillance, Why Don't We Know Who Came Up With The DUMB Slogan DEFUND THE POLICE?


It's very counter-productive messaging.

Maybe it was a Republican?

Where does it appear first? Who picked it up and ran with it?

reply

i think the liberals started it in Portland, they were mad the Police were stopping them from looting...

reply

Well, that certainly narrows it down a lot doesn't it?

reply

pretty much, Portland, OR 97035

I want a name, the person who invented it, the group who accepted and pushed it, and the media that ran with it.

Maybe it was a Republican?

It had to be Orangeman! Everything else is blamed on him!

You leave the Oompa Loompas out of this. They are a peaceful race and you wouldn’t be gobbling down that family size block of chocolate without their hard work. Racist.

reply

What in the hell are you talking about? 🤷🏼‍♀️ What does chocolate have to do with my reply? Also, why did you call me a Racist? Are you mental or are you stoking it?

reply

That you don't understand why people rake on you shows how clueless you are

Not everything, it just seems like it because he has screwed the country over in so many ways and empowered the online moron brigade.

reply

Where would you be without us “Deplorables” in a basket or as your pet name for us, the “online moron brigade.”? You would have to look in the mirror and argue with yourself!🤷🏼‍♀️ Would you believe that person looking back at you is more intelligent just because there is a different ideology in the mix? 🤔

reply

Your typical unintelligent stupid comment.

”The modern epicenter of the Defund the Police movement is Minneapolis, where a variety of groups motivated by past episodes of police brutality have been organizing for nearly a decade. One of them, the women and LGBTQ-led Black Visions Collective, penned one of the first petitions to defund their city’s police department on May 25, almost immediately after Floyd was killed. “TELL MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL TO DEFUND THE POLICE,” the headline on the petition read. Within a week, protests had sprung up in all 50 states, all defined by support of black lives and opposition to police violence.”

” “We did a statewide and national call and that sparked uprisings in other places,” said Oluchi Omeoga, an organizer and core team member with the Black Visions Collective.”

That is a start, but it does not follow the making and picking up of the slogan, which is just so stupid, and has created a lot of opportunities for backlash.

Someone needs to get out in front of Democratic/Progressive messaging, it is absolutely terrible. People talk about it all the time how ineffective it is, but it is a real danger right now especially.

reply

People gag on the slogan "Defund the police" and use it as an excuse to support Republican politicians and policies, but the facts are that maybe one or two cities are actually cutting the police budget, and no one is really for defending the police or actually defunding the police ...

Except, Donald Trump in pulling Federal money from Sanctuary Cities was threatening police departments with insufficient funds -- AND every Republican voted against Joe Biden's aid to Cities and States, a lot of which was for Police Services.

Republicans are the party that want to defund the police, but they don't want you to know about what they are really doing, and Republicans won't defend the police or let them do their jobs when it comes to defending the Capitol or Jan. 6th.

Republicans showed utter contempt for the Capitol police, against awarding them medals and recognition for their valiant service against Trump's Republican DC marauders.

That's why these slogans, this messaging is so important. If Democrats don't get it exactly right then Republicans twist the meaning of everything with lies, and often even when they do get it right Conservative media ignores it or lies about it.

reply

This sums up the Democrats.

They come up with these insane ideas that go against every angle of common sense.

But they are some how allowed to defund the police, pass laws like no cash bail

Everything goes to.sh*t. Anyone with a brain knew it would.
Which is why there are probably more nefarious things at play with the Democrats

Just like CRT, it came from academia, radical white liberals and black fembots obviously.

I am quite enjoying the defund/abolish police though. The re-imaging looks great. Rise in crime, early release for hard offenders, mutli-felon rap sheets, removal of death penalty, the whole shebang. It looks fabulous. I do hope the citizens there enjoy it. Got to be inclusive after all. :)

Sorry, not interested in yet another conservative s-hole website.
