But in the big picture, that never works out.

Maybe we agree. Maybe you and I both believe that police department funding is way out of proportion in city budgets. Do I think there's a less inflammatory and more productive way to express the frustration I have with this travesty? Open to it. Do I think this slogan is responsible for downballot losses of Dems. I dont see it.

Honestly, I like how Biden is handling it. He translates it to - hold LE accountable.
