  • Defund Hypocrite...

    Or let them eat lead...

    Cori Bush defends calling to defund the police while having private security: 'You would rather me die?'

    'I have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now'


    "They would rather I die?" Bush asked. "You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? You know because that could be the alternative."

    Bush said she would ensure she has security because she has had attempts on her life and has "too much work to do."

    "So suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen," she added.

    wow
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      A bit more blunt about it than most of them.

      I don't recall where it was but apparently someone looked into cities which slashed police budgets and found most were using taxpayers money to hire private security for themselves.

      I'm always still in trouble again

          I think this excuse for a woman is using campaign funds...

                Someone should say, "No we don't want you to die. Why do you want others to die by removing any protection they might have when you defund the police? If you don't want us to defund your security team, don't defund our police!"

                  That would assume that she gives a rat's butt about any of us...

                        Clearly, she doesn't do a very good job of defending her position.

                        But the only way I can see her being a hypocrite is if she thinks "defunding the police" will make the public less safe.

                        Now, I realize that a lot of people here think that "defunding the police" will make the public less safe. But what matters (in terms of alleged hypocrisy) is whether Cori Bush thinks that.

                          Then why doesn't she hire social workers to defend her instead of armed security?

                            When you look at the sort of explanations/excuses provided in the old Joe's got really creepy with a small child yet again thread, that might be a wiser course.

                              Is it her position that all police should be replaced with social workers? If so, then the accusation of hypocrisy would have some merit.

                              But that isn't the position of most people who are in favor of defunding the police.
