Dems Like To Throw Money At The Problem But Want To Defund Police?

In reality, most cops are pretty good. It takes one bad apple like former Minnesota Police Officer Derek Chauvin to ruin it for the rest of them.

The cops don’t need a major overhaul, but it would be useful to streamline the screening process and review process when incidents occur. Chauvin had 18 reported incidents; he should have been sidelined.

At the same time, the community needs to take responsibility for their actions. If one resists arrest, then you can’t scream racism just because of the color of your skin, and the outcome wasn’t what you desired. It cuts both ways.

Dems Aren’t Throwing Money At This Problem, Why?

Interesting how normally the government wants to correct wrongs or problems with more money, but in this case, the fix is to “defund” – less money.

Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has seen that “defund” does not sit well with the voting public at large, so she wants to change the wording.

Politicians are always checking the direction of the current winds.

Look at the wave of destruction and cost Democrats have caused this nation by inciting riots and looting, making false accusations and useless investigations against a sitting Administration solely because they lost an election and their complete inaction and stonewalling in Congress, blocking America’s progress.

Criminal Reform Begins At Home

Good police officials can’t eliminate those who can’t do the job or are abusing their authority. Why? Democrat-backed police unions. So maybe that should be part of this reform process too. As for systemic, career criminality? At some point, criminals stop caring about consequences like a prison if liberal policies enable them not to have to serve long sentences for serious violent crimes.

Criminal reform starts at home before someone becomes a criminal. But that assumes that there will be good, law-abiding parents at home to teach their kids respect for authority and the rule of law. When the parents are not home, or worse, are criminals themselves, where does a child learn morals and values?

Certainly not on the streets.

This Is What I Was Taught Growing Up

My parents taught me from a young age a few things about dealing with law enforcement. 1) Do not physically resist; 2) Obey their instructions; 3) Do not offer any information other than the name and your identification. 4) Say little as possible in a calm and low key demeanor.

I am 53 years old and have several encounters with law enforcement, all speeding tickets, and the last one was over 12 years ago.

I have never been mistreated or even treated roughly by the police. Perhaps we could reform the way that civilians interact with police as well as doing more to call out the bad cops.

Why do Americans stand for it? Look what Democrat Party has cost you, cost everyone!

A Lot Of Hatred For Police Is Passed Down By Older Generations

A lot of police hatred is also passed from parents to children in the black community. They are being taught or see the wrong attitude and the wrong way to behave with police, and that will have an impact on their interactions with police.

If you are cooperative and respectful with the police, they will be respectful of you with very few exceptions.

That being said, people need to understand that police have a job to do. If you’ve done something wrong, you may be arrested.

That isn’t disrespect or racism; it’s the police doing their duty.

Sadly, no one is talking about the fact that all this guy in Atlanta had to do put his hands behind his back and take the DUI arrest that he earned.

He’d have been out of jail in 24 hours. The same goes for most of these cases.
