Never did I mention anything about defunding the police.
I want police officers who abuse their power to be held accountable. The message that the Brevard County FOP gives is they support dirty cops.
Absolutely disgraceful to send this kind of message.

Unfortunately, it seems if one doesn't lick the boots of the Gestapo police it means one automatically wants to defund them and one is anti-Trump, because gestapo police=yay Trump, anti-police= nay Trump, so if one doesn't support the police in cracking heads and their overbroad "LAW & ORDER!" one is of the "bad guys."
Funny how ATS used to be anti-authority/government/overreach of authority.
But now it's ok. Because Trump.
Just what does defunding mean and what are the repercussions. People just say crap without understanding just what would happen. Its like the narrative to breakup the ATF, ya good luck in that and what will replace them?

"Not all cops are racist murdering bastards. In fact, I'd argue the great majority of cops are good folks like you and me."
I'm glad you don't support defunding, but what these democrat leaders are basically doing is like cutting your head off to get rid of a pimple, or burning down your house to kill a spider.
Minneapolis officers… we will not disband our agencies or give in… we are hiring in Florida. Lower taxes, no spineless leadership, conflicting orders or dumb mayors rambling on at press conferences… Plus… we got your back! #lawandorderFlorida #movetowhereyouare❤️ #☀️
um. Yes. We need good LEO’s fleeing bad leadership, back stabbing and those who do the right thing.

Interestingly enough ... most police unions support Republicans.

I disagree as they pump in 7 times the funds into democratic elections than Republicans. Maybe in some parts of the country but unions in general are not republican,.

I said police unions support Republicans, particularly Trump.
I realize that Unions are still the big bad for most of the right.
