“Defund the Police” say wealthy celebrities with private security

Patriot Retort:

For years I’ve been talking about the Left’s habit of advocating a cause that ultimately backfires on them because of their habit of pushing too hard and too far.  I call it Operation Backfire.  Whatever their cause, it blows up in their face like a trick cigar because they just can’t help going too far.  Case in point, these imbeciles took a universally-agreed upon cause — “Justice for George Floyd” – and pushed it to the extreme – namely “Defund the Police.” And they did it in just one week.

Yeah, they’re actually demanding that municipalities “defund the police.”

Before you say, “But no sane government would do anything so stupid,” both Minneapolis and Los Angeles are actually considering it.

On Sunday the nitwits at the New York Times published an “opinion” piece co-written by a Yale doctoral candidate and a “strategist” for “Movement for Black Lives” demanding that police departments be defunded. Because everybody knows that social workers have the power to stop bullets. more

  1. It is time to call those people and the rioters by the most common denominator possible. Be they Antifa, BLM, Barbra Streisand- just call them all “Never Trumpers”.

    This headline should read: “Defund the Police” say wealthy celebrity Never Trumpers with private security.

    Or “Rioting Never Trumpers burned down an Autozone in Mpls”.

    After all does not Joe Biden have people on his staff giving $ for the bail of these people? They want it they can own it. I’m calling all rioters “never Trumpers”. The Dems want to make this an issue in November I say they can own it.

  2. Who could have possibly seen this coming? If only we had a constitutionally protected right to a well regulated militia that guarantees the right of the people to be armed..

  3. Since I’m perfectly capable of “policing” my own property, paying taxes for police protection is a complete waste of money.

    LA is handling this though attrition; woefully undermanned to begin with, and resignations at an all-time high. No, they aren’t leaving law enforcement, they are lateraling to “red” cities, places where the locals respect them and allow them to do their jobs.

    These celebrities are such crap weasels, too stupid to understand that their privately paid security agencies do not have police officer powers, so when something happens rent-a-cops call the local PD.

    Do you think Target, Walmart, or Costco wants to open up a store where their goods are not protected by the police?

    Of course, it will never happen, the leftists need the most hand-holding, are the least capable of self-reliance, and are most in need of being told what to do by those in “authority”.

  4. Actually has been ongoing in NoCal for decades. There are several cities in the Friso area where very rich folk live that are protected by civilian “armies”; mostly former SEALS. Very expensive; but if you are really rich it is worth it.
    Naming names: San Mateo, Friso itself, Berkeley, San Jose….

    Very much like Bklyn. My sister lived in a Mafia area. Low crime! A moron knocked over a store. Next week he was in an alley with 2 broken legs!

    to me another sign of America heading in the wrong direction for 60 years.

  5. The do realize that private citizens are not bound by the constraints of the Constitution as the police are.

    “Miranda rights? We don’t need no steenking Miranda rights!”

  6. Considering all the damage Political Correctness and Affirmative Action has done to Portland, might as well start there. The dedicated troops will be offered new jobs plus relocation expenses and signing bonuses some place where they’ll be respected and appreciated. The PC and AA losers can move to San Francisco.

    I know a Protection outfit that contracts to Google, Microshit, Facebook, etc. All ex Rangers. They hate their clients. The joke always is if thing get tough enough, they are on their own. A little bit different than doing perimeter security, but I’m sure the sentiment is the same.

    That’s why I mentioned perimeter security. I doubt if they are living with.
    The guys I know are all class clowns. I’m shocked they can keep a client. Not because they don’t know their stuff.

  13. Minnesota Guv> Defund the police
    Minnesota business> Defund Minnesota.

    Businesses will leave by the hundreds and it is very hard to get them to return.
