PILOT SPIN

Self-proclaimed Marxist and Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors called on Democrats to make “sea changes” to their party platform and adopt radical legislation that calls to defund the police force, eliminate both the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and close all federal prisons and immigration detention centers, alongside various other radical demands — otherwise, “any claims of allyship and solidarity with our work to fight for black liberation are for naught.”
Until and unless our leaders become signatory to the BREATHE Act — to legislation that eliminates the federal government’s ability to give multi-million dollar grants to militarize police forces; dismantles punitive like ICE, Border Patrol, and the DEA; ends the use of surveillance systems being used to target protesters; and bans the use of police agencies to suppress political dissent — the Democratic Party of today will be remembered as the party of complicity. The party that refuses to sacrifice its own creature comforts and material securities to ensure it walked the walk. So before you leave today, I want you to answer this question for yourselves: Which side of history is my party actually on?
The BREATHE Act:
Formulated by the radical Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) — a coalition of more than 150 organizations and championed by Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — the bill, posted on breatheact.org, is broken into four sections that focus on reforming federal institutions and policies.
The first section calls for moves such as divesting from police agencies like the DEA and ICE, dramatically reducing the Department of Defense budget, ending life sentences and mandatory minimum sentences, closing all federal prisons and immigration detention centers, and decriminalizing and retroactively expunging both state and federal drug offenses.
Has anyone heard of Tlaib's Breath Act yet? This is nuts, and another sign that BLM is not about racial equality or ending police brutality, but societal destruction.

BTW, I have a friend that lives in a local air park and the house across from him was recently sold, sold to Patrisse Cullors, and no she doesn't fly.

Most liberals I know are falling all over themselves trying to explain that "defunding" the police doesn't mean "defunding" the police. ::) It merely means reallocating the budgets towards more social services.
I think we should double the funding to the police add social services to the police responsibilities. Of course though, this should be voted on and done on a local level and not as a Federal mandate.
At one point the national, unofficial motto of police forces everywhere was "To Protect and to Serve". Somewhere along the line the "to serve" part was abandoned. I'd like to see it added back.

That's really weird. My guess it is a rich supporter/donor and she's living there for free. Why the heck else would she be there? When it comes down to it, all these activists are in it for the money and as a career.

Why would someone buy a house on an airport or they don’t fly? That’s just weird.

I have a cousin in Florida that did that. I asked her why and she didn't have a good answer other than she got a "good deal" whatever that means. Never flew in a small plane in her life. It also takes away from people that actually have planes and want to be on an airport.

SCOTUS said they have no duty to protect.
