Typical Fox News misinformation and propaganda.

The Color Of Change PAC supports a broad range of important, helpful projects. It's unrelated to crime statistics. Moreover, the request to defund the police is merely to consider a redistribution of funding to helpful initiatives, instead of military equipment &c for the police.

    Read 'The Open Society and Its Enemies', by Karl Popper, vol. 2, chapters 24 and 25.

    (Has nothing to do with Soros, however, nor does my comment.)

    That essay doesn't say what you think it does. I suggest actually reading it. Today's left are the ones abusing their freedom of speech to advocate for the abolition of free speech. You do it on this website all the time.

    I read it, Chipit. Rather than drag the discourse down the PoD, consider that you've been brainwashed by right-wing misinformation propaganda - like what's in the article - and have thus repeated here one of their talking points. The Color of Change PAC is not a problem. The problem is the 1%, which you support when you try to redirect attention to racist right-wing misinformation propaganda. And you still have freedom of speech, unless you live in Russia, China, North Korea, Texas, or similar countries. No need to be so paranoid. Support the 99%, not the 1%.

    The one spreading propaganda here is you. Your spiel is too practiced. It is today's left who is solidly on the side of the political establishment in DC and the ghouls on Wall Street. When you've got Citibank and Exxon and other major corps as sponsors, whose side are you really on?

    The Color of Change PAC states, and I quote, "Policing is a violent institution that must end". There's no horse whispering with that, no claims it means something else. They want to end the police, period.

    consider that you've been brainwashed

    Comforting to think that, isn't it? Unfortunately for you I have read about brainwashing and it's not at all what the communists did to our POWs. Did you know some of them actually stayed after the war?

    Here is their petition to defund the police: https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/defund_police_national/

    "Policing is a violent institution that must end," the group’s president wrote in a statement supporting the move. "We imagine a country where there is enough money to educate our children, care for our sick and feed those who are financially unstable. Defunding the police allows for this vision."

    Ever since this movement started, violence has exploded. For obvious reasons. If you're going to remove the police, criminals know that. I mean, duh. And the greatest victims of this violence? Blacks.

    Isn't it blatantly obvious by now that white leftists care nothing for blacks? They're just using them for political advantage.

    Like so much in the right-wing racist propaganda, these comments are taken out of context. Even the dumbass liberal phrase - defund the police - decontextualizes what they actually want. A better phrase would be: redistribute public funding to education and social programs and stop buying military equipment for policing. The gradual conversion of civil policing to military policing is an attack on the 99% by the 1%. People of color aren't the problem. The 1% is the problem.

    Nah, they mean exactly what they say: get rid of police. They say it right there: Policing is a violent institution that must end. Of course, they will have private security for themselves. This has already been established beyond a shadow of a doubt.

    What is this with weird leftists who think they can interpret the actions of others as not being what they clearly state is so? These are word games, attempting to control language. Ain't gonna work. They've literally argued that 2+2 is not equal to four, and did so with pride.

    You know what? 2+2=4.
