NRCC turns up heat on vulnerable Democrats over Omar's call to abolish police

2020-06-07

[THEHILL] Republican operatives are attempting to link vulnerable Democrats to progressive members’ calls to disband police departments and reduce their budgets as they look to flip key swing districts in November.

Top progressive politicians and outside groups have called for substantial changes to the structure of U.S. law enforcement after the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis who died during an arrest after a police officer knelt on his neck.

Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
(D-Minn.) tweeted Friday: "The Minneapolis Police Department has proven themselves beyond reform. It’s time to disband them and reimagine public safety in Minneapolis."

Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez
Alexandria <q>Boom Boom</q> Ocasio-Cortez

Alexandria <q>Boom Boom</q> Ocasio-Cortez

Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
(D-N.Y.) also took to social media to blast New York’s police budget, tweeting: "If police budgets bought peace, the $6 billion NYPD budget would’ve bought the most sophisticated de-escalatory operation in the world. Clearly, it didn’t."

#5 I wish they could "defund" these chump politicians. The NYPD turned their backs on Wilhelm how many years ago now?

#4 Abolish police?? Every major city doing this would be given over to the criminal element. I'd give it no more than a week without police before these progressive politicians would be begging for the police to return.

#2 Search for "pounce" returns no hits?

Ocrazio-Cuntez: "If police budgets bought peace, the $6 billion NYPD budget would’ve bought the most sophisticated de-escalatory operation in the world. Clearly, it didn’t."

Cool, so you won't need any money from the rest of us.
