    Ffs! This fucking dinosaur can’t even talk about common sense gun control after a tragedy it could have prevented without PRAISING COPS??

    THIS is the guy the LEAST right wing of the two parties thinks is the best option?! God fucking dammit! 🤦

        Absolutely! Probably 70%+ of the overall population realise that ACAB, but maybe 5% of Congress and the White House, if even that!

        Proportionate representation my ass!

          You’re sadly mistaken. Almost 80% of the population, when polled, desires police funding to stay the same or be increased.

            Nope. Those are push polls deliberately designed to skew the results.

            Example: a prominent pollster released results claiming that most black people want more cops in their neighbourhoods.

            It was subsequently revealed that the way that the question was asked heavily implied that the only options were to do absolutely nothing about crime or increase the number of cops.

            By that time, the false narrative had taken root and been quoted as absolute fact by powerful and influential people, so the revelation received much less attention than the original misleading message, which you’re now contributing to.
