JTN: Two years after George Floyd’s death, liberal cities that became hubs of the “defund the police” movement in the wake of the infamous 2020 killing have done a virtual 180, with many Democrat mayors and mayoral candidates now embracing comparatively pro-police and tough-on-crime policies and rhetoric.
This shift at the local level comes as violent crime continues to rise in major cities across the country following 2020’s historic spike in murders and another rise in homicides and shootings last year.
One of the more striking changes occurred in Los Angeles, where the top two vote-getters in Tuesday’s mayoral race — Democratic Rep. Karen Bass and pro-business billionaire Rick Caruso — have both spoken out in support of law enforcement.
When it comes to making L.A.’s streets safer, “I think the right answer is to be smart on crime,” Bass told Fox News on Monday. “My plan calls for getting officers on the beat immediately in neighborhoods that want to see an increased police presence. But I believe the quickest way to get officers on the beat is to get them from behind the desk.” more
Well, Bass has shown herself to be an idiot with the above.
Hope Caruso has a real plan and not platitudes. Business types trying to suck up for votes…
NOW ALL WE NEED IS A TAMPON SHORTAGE
I think we are going to see a lot of stuff go down between now and the 4th of July.
….and both Democrat and Republican scum aren’t gonna like it.

I’ve felt an urgency to get prepared. I am.
Brad,
I’d rather be lucky than good. I sincerely think we’ve already got this thing won. Can you sense the desperation from the bad guys?

“. I sincerely think we’ve already got this thing won. Can you sense the desperation from the bad guys?”
Honestly I sense over confidence and it has me worried. But you live in Gods Country, I don’t.
For LA’s or any other American city’s streets to be safe again, criminal politicians need to be charged, prosecuted and convicted. And in a timely manner.
We’re dismissing as “politics”, brazen dereliction of duty, from local LEO up to and including the JustUs Dept, FiB and SCOTUS. Damn them all. And push back with criminal proceedings!
happens when you let the mau-mau types run free, like haiti in 1804
but you gots to disarm yt, so’s yo dindus, fags, illegals, & muslims can gets de “reparations”
