Kenosha

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Whomever came up with the slogan "defund the police" should be fired. There has to be a better name for the police reform that is needed.

Well, some people think that Black Lives Matter is a socialist statement.

People hear what they want to hear...

Well, some people think that Black Lives Matter is a socialist Marxist statement.

FTFY.
Also, ever notice that the people railing the loudest about socialism and Marxism are usually the ones with the least idea what those words mean?

[Pakuni]

Of course, this slogan is brought to you by the generation who has changed the definition of "literally." If all of the people in my Orange Theory classes who said they "literally died" from a workout and yet return the next day then we're on the verge of a zombie apocalypse.

Rules for fraudulently stealing millions of dollars from students?
Rules for fraudulently stealing money (donations) intended for treating cancer in kids?

C’mon guys. Rules are for black and brown people.

Well, some people think that Black Lives Matter is a socialist statement.

People hear what they want to hear...

And some people don’t think that Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization.

People see what they want to see.

Good thing I am intelligent enough to separate the intent behind statement from the LLC that chose to capitalize on it!

[NCMUFan]

Glad to see we are talking about Kenosha again.     Moderators, please shut down

Ahh.  Doesn't get an exaggeration and then gets annoyed because of it.

no, it's a statement that the same generation that runs with "we say defund but don't literally mean defund" is also the generation who has changed the definition of "literally." I don't get annoyed, I get amused. We used to do a drinking game with one girl we hung out with and take a drink every time she said "literally." Of course, the cracks in the veneer of "we don't actually mean defund when we say defund" are starting to appear with the "total abolition" crowd getting louder and louder.

You're new to the concept of colloquialism, I see.

Back to the subject, is that cop in jail yet?

I Agree. I hears one that I think strikes closer to the problem.
"De-militarize the police"
Pause. consider its nuances...yeah that works

“Reform.”
‘De-militarize.”
“Reimagine.”

That said, a decent portion of the “defund” crowd is also on the “abolish” train.

Define “decent portion.” I don’t know a single person who falls into that group. I’m guessing you and I have very different definitions of “decent portion.”

It may be where we are. In Portland and Seattle, far more than there should be and they’re the loudest.

So like a couple thousand in the country. Out of 330M people in America.

It would have been higher had he parked his car appropriately.

Man, cops need to carry their own liability/malpractice insurance. Making the citizens of MKE pay for this stuff is not right.

As a citizen of Milwaukee, it is INFURIATING

I feel you. Chicago has spent $500MM on police settlements in the last past decade.

I'm with you on how brutal the stats on settlements and related liabilities are, but anything takes a pebble from the public side of the law enforcement scale and puts it on the private side is probably a step in the wrong direction.
