I'm half-black if that matters, but the thing is the GQP US Taliban KKK party" has called her worse than that, and yes she is a dummy on that subject. Then she goes out and gets her OWN private police security detail. Not that it matters to you maybe, but other black friends said wait, she got her own police detail and she wants to de-fund the police? Yep, I think she's a dummy on that issue which the GQP US Taliban Party is using to great effect in showing how "lawless" Dems are and how they hate police, when the GQP was against the Capitol Hill police who were defending the Capitol on Jan. 6th and in reality why didn't she THINK and say "Well, the GOP wants to defund the FBI," and they DO. You never hear talk about that on the corporate media do you? NOPE. But when a black person says something that the so-called liberal media--which isn't liberal at all for the most part--love running with it, they run like hell, and seize on that. But nope, the GQP US taliban party can yell "Defund the FBI until the cows come home" and not defend the Capitol Hill police who was protecting their asses from tRump's racist mob who he sent down there, and it's crickets from the so-called "liberal" media, which is mostly corporate, right-winged and greedy for ad dollars like they got when tReasonous tRump stole his way into the presidency.

Republicans Ramp Up Their “Defund the FBI” Stunt.

And this a moral, serial adulteress, three-toed sloth who says continually that we need to be a "WHITE christian nation" continues to yell defund the FBI and it's crickets on that. Of course the so-called liberal media isn't going after her, on defunding the FBI are they? NOPE, but waiting for Bush to open her mouth about defund the police




Personally, I loved the way Val Demmings who IS/WAS law enforcement for almost 30 years told GYM "I knew as team manager that those wrestlers were being sexually assaulted by the team doctor but didn't give a damn" Jordan off.



And for as much as I do not care for the police @ 61 and I have never had so much as a parking ticket in my life and obey all laws, and have 'seen some things' in my own family happen at the hands of law enforcement who were in the wrong, and although we still have black people being murdered post George Floyd, who are being shot, killed, arrested for breathing while black and flat out harassed by police--but to get rid of police in total and descend into anarchy? Even in liberal San Fran, was re-called because he wanted to de-fund the police, and because he wouldn't prosecute criminals. Read up on his Family background.

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin re-called.
He then said he never said he was for defunding the police but he was, because friends living in San Fran used to tell me about this "wack job" Chesea Boudin on the regular, and they're as liberal as they come.

REFUND not DEFUND, but even that'll be difficult until police aren't shielded/protected and that's not likely to happen anytime soon, thanks to the GQP " We love the police, unless they're against tRump our cult leader" Party.

Somebody needs to shine a light on Qualified Immunity, but hey I guess it's easy to yell "Defund the police" though.

Specifically, qualified immunity protects a government official from lawsuits alleging that the official violated a plaintiff's rights, only allowing suits where officials violated a “clearly established” statutory or constitutional right. And mind you, we just lost miranda rights to boot thanks to the turtle hand-picked, reich-winged, Federalist high court.

Or on Miranda which is GONE now thanks to the turtle's Federalist reich-winged Society high court, whose hated more than a used car salesman.


U.S. Supreme Court's 'Miranda' decision further guts 150-year-old civil rights law

(Reuters) - A U.S. Supreme Court decision on Thursday illustrated the extent to which the court has transformed a Reconstruction-era law meant to protect the rights of freed slaves and marginalized Americans into a formidable shield for the most powerful, including police, prosecutors and businesses.

The June 23 decision bars lawsuits against police for using evidence obtained without advising people of their rights – the ‘Miranda’ warnings the court mandated nearly 60 years ago that have since become the framework through which most Americans understand their rights against police intrusion.

The 6-3 ruling in Vega v. Tekoh, which was expectedly split along partisan lines, nullified essentially the only direct remedy available in those situations. (Police officers are notorious for evading internal discipline and legal consequence, even for conduct that constitutes a crime, like assaulting someone to compel a false confession.)
