“Lives are at stake daily so I’m out of patience with critiques of the language of activists. Whatever a grieving family says is their truth,” declared Rep. Ayanna Pressley.

Obama not only was right that the “Defund the Police” slogan was political suicide for Democrats this year, he’s morally right that the answer to rare instances of police misconduct is not to get rid of cops.
