To all who either are Law Enforcement Officers or have a friend or family member who is:

if you or that friend or family member who's a cop was attacked by someone who knocked you down with a thrown fire extinguisher, stomped you, tazed you several times, sprayed you with "bear spray" and other chemicals, speared and beat you with a flag pole and encouraged companions to "shoot you with your own gun", would you shrug that off as "normal political discourse"?

Do you not believe that such a characterization is LUDICROUS and that those pushing it are morally bankrupt hacks?

Do you understand that that is EXACTLY what the Trump party is saying?

Are you ok with politicians who stand for such vile and dangerous bullshit?

If you are entertaining the possibility of voting for ANY "Republican" in '22 or '24 , a bit of advice: pull your head out of your ass!

I might also add that 'defund,' while misunderstood, was a way to explain a plan to actually make something better.
"Normal political discourse" is BULLSHIT that is meant to cover their asses. They have NO PLANS to make ANYTHING better - not now - not EVER!!!!!!

I'm appalled today how hubby's former colleagues on the job still are rabid Republicans supporting trumpers. So glad he got out, went to college and understands true patriotism. Both of us can no longer interact with any of them. Disgusting!
