Democratic Congressman-elect Jamall Bowman of New York, took to twitter to call for defunding the police Tuesday, following the announcement by the Justice Department that the officers involved in the 2014 shooting of 12-year old Tamir Rice will not face federal charges.
We're fighting in your memory, Tamir. You won't be forgotten.
A system this cruel and inhumane can't be reformed. Defund the police, and defund the system that's terrorizing our communities. https://t.co/OwFg32pbZ3

This summer’s Black Lives Matter protests have forced Democrats in Congress to address how they want to address police reform, with centrist Democrats blaming more progressive leaders for the losses House Democrats suffered at the November polls.
But left-leaning figures like “Squad” members Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rep. Rashida Talib, D-Mich., Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., have all called for measures that would cut funding to police resources, or divert how funds are spent.
The Empire struck back, but it's time for a new era.

With all due respect, Mr. President—let’s talk about losing people. We lost Michael Brown Jr. We lost Breonna Taylor. We’re losing our loved ones to police violence.
It’s not a slogan. It’s a mandate for keeping our people alive. Defund the police. https://t.co/Wsxp1Y1bBi

It’s not a slogan. It’s a mandate for keeping our people alive. Defund the police.
If you wanted to ‘keep your people alive’ you would speak out against the Black on Black crime in Dem run cities across America. We are tiring of these lies.
Remember though, they actually don’t CARE about black on black crime.
PatriotUSA:….Bingo!
I.A.W. U.S. Census & FBI (Table 43a) Black males make up about 8% of the U.S. population but commit 53% of all the murders and 55% of all robberies in the U.S… Every year there are ~6,000 African-Americans men, women and children killed and 94% of them were killed by fellow African-Americans.
Where is the outrage from “Black Lives Matter” and prominent members of the African-American community? Or from Democratic Congressman-elect Jamall Bowman of New York??
In that light, Bishop Jackson asks: “How many bodies do you have to step over to get to the one that you think is important only because a police officer was involved?”
(Bishop Earl Walker Jackson Sr. is an African American conservative, Protestant minister.)
I’d like to know, HOW MANY blacks, even know who Bishop Jackson is, And who knew HE SAID that quote..
Just another Socialist moron blowing hot (covid) air.
More and more, i’d just LOVE to “Snap” out of existence, every ******* one of these marxists/socialists/communists, NOT JUST in our government, but over the entire bloody planet.
Jamaal, maybe Dr. Fauci can send you to communist China, with a mask on and you can call for defunding the police in communist China. After all, Jamaal, you are a communist!
make note nypd of this mans address and phone number so when he call
you can break the news to him that we are busy right now eating ice cream.
I have worked with and met many other people of color whom were bright, articulate and sensible. This guy( and the rest of the squad) miss on all counts. They don’t even have the sense of a chicken ( I know from a lot of years of experience that that is pretty p*ss poor) ! God save us all.
If all cops are bad-
All teachers should be labeled sexual abusers or predators (happens all over)
All doctors should be labeled the same (remember the doctor for the US girls gymnastics team)
Add Psychologists, family members, babysitters…the list unfortunately could go on.
Too true.. That’s all too true, BUT if someone ever DID say it in public, you can bet the left would attack you, for doing so.
I just read new York crime is up. Chicago murder rate is up. So how well is defund the police going for you ??? Obey the law and follow police commands and you’ll be OK.
Since most of the DNC are crooks themselves, it’s going well!
Ok this guy is a dum dum where do they find these traitors?
From libtard universities..
This guy is a congressman ? Wow !
I wholeheartedly agree that there must be police reform. They have to be trained to nab more criminals. You can’t depend on black churches to teach the laws of Ten Commandments
Hey Jamaal, why don’t you come incognito to Chicago one weekend, and spend that weekend beginning Friday night through Sunday, in Englewood or the South / West side. Walk the streets, sit in your car, restaurant, whatever. Then count the number of your fellow Black citizens shot, and how many fatally, by other Black citizens. If you escape with your life, you’re one of the lucky ones, and you may have a different perspective on why people in Black communities want more police, not less.
Isn’t it always interesting that the people calling for defunding the police, never seem to need the police. They live in communities or have security and don’t have to worry about personal safety.
