Still reeling from the left-wing backlash to his recent criticism of “defund the police,” former president Barack Obama (D) appeared on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Tuesday where he appeared to strike a conciliatory note by praising the activists behind the movement, calling them courageous and media savvy.
But he also doubled down on his criticism of the actual slogan, saying that it can alienate potential Black Lives Matter allies.
Obama’s laudatory words for “defund the police” activists come as major cities are experiencing soaring crime rates. New York City saw shootings more than double in November, according the an NY Police Department report. For the first 11 months of the year, shootings in the city have risen nearly 96 percent.
In Los Angeles, homicides are up 25 percent from last year so far, while in Chicago, murders and shootings have increased more than 50 percent.
i`m all for defund the police in major cities like new york, chicago, san francisco ,detroit,etc, because i don`t live in those cities ,and i believe that after defunding the police in those cities, those cities which are shitholes anyways will go down the toilet a lot faster without the police and save all taxpayers a lot of money. let them go and wave bye bye while we keep more of our tax money. goodbye liberal utopias.
Charge his ass with INCITING !!!!
