After all, if these anti-police politicians were interested in what Americans want, they would have dropped this insane mission a long time ago. Instead, attention-hungry phonies like Representative Cori Bush of Missouri parade in front of television cameras and spew hypocritical nonsense. When the anti-police advocate was asked about her expensive private security, Bush defiantly told CBS, “I have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now.” Well Cori, apparently the folks in Minneapolis feel the same way about their bodies! Who would’ve thought?

Moderate Democrats should have shut down the Defund the Police hoopla before it gained significant traction. Alas, like always, the cowardly centrists — fearful of being targeted by the next AOC — were swept along with the foolishness in the hope that they would be spared in the eventual revolution.

Even so, there were some public figures who expressed their doubts about this bizarre movement taking over the mainstream. One particularly poignant take came from Charles Barkley who noted, during Inside the NBA, that these progressive ideas would disproportionately affect minorities. “Because you know who ain’t gonna defund the cops? White neighborhoods and rich neighborhoods. That notion that they keep saying that, I’m like ‘wait a minute, who are Black people supposed to call, Ghostbusters?”
