thedailycaller--2020-06-08--FLASHBACK: Chicago And Baltimore Offer Just A Glimpse Of What ‘Defunding’ Police Could Look Like

The national movement to “ defund the police ” in the wake of George Floyd ’ s death hit a crescendo Sunday when the Minneapolis city council issued a “ veto-proof ” vote to do just that .
“ When we talk about defunding the police , what we ’ re saying is , invest in the resources that our communities need , ” Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza told NBC ’ s Meet the Press on Sunday .
“ Our priorities are in the wrong place … we need increased funding for the quality of life of communities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ critics say disbanding local police departments could have negative downstream effects , citing recent cases in Chicago and Baltimore in which police withdrawal had significant repercussions .
Following the death of Freddie Gray in 2015 , Baltimore broke out in riots when Gray died as the result of injuries sustained while in police custody .
The city saw a significant drop in arrests after the riots even as violent crime continued to rise , according to The Guardian , while intense public scrutiny made officers reluctant to engage in proactive policing strategies .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ activist in Baltimore who lost a brother and cousin to homicide , told the Guardian he saw the police department make fewer arrests during periods of high crime .
Scott told the Guardian this gives you “ a community of emboldened criminals.
” Baltimore police made 39,654 arrests in 2014 .

The national movement to “defund the police” in the wake of George Floyd’s death hit a crescendo Sunday when the Minneapolis city council issued a “veto-proof” vote to do just that.
“When we talk about defunding the police, what we’re saying is, invest in the resources that our communities need,” Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. “Our priorities are in the wrong place … we need increased funding for the quality of life of communities who are over-policed and over-surveilled.”
But critics say disbanding local police departments could have negative downstream effects, citing recent cases in Chicago and Baltimore in which police withdrawal had significant repercussions.
Following the death of Freddie Gray in 2015, Baltimore broke out in riots when Gray died as the result of injuries sustained while in police custody. The city saw a significant drop in arrests after the riots even as violent crime continued to rise, according to The Guardian, while intense public scrutiny made officers reluctant to engage in proactive policing strategies.
Rev. Kinji Scott, a community activist in Baltimore who lost a brother and cousin to homicide, told the Guardian he saw the police department make fewer arrests during periods of high crime. Scott told the Guardian this gives you “a community of emboldened criminals.”
Baltimore police made 39,654 arrests in 2014. That number dropped to 25,820 by 2016, according to The Guardian. In 2017 CBS News reported that the city saw its highest murder rate ever.
In Chicago, following the shooting of 17-year-old black teen Laquan McDonald by a white police officer, NPR reported that homicide rates doubled. Police made fewer arrests even as violent crime rates continued to rise out of fear of becoming “the next viral video.”
Following the 2014 shooting of McDonald, the number of shooting incidents in Chicago rose 120% while street stops dropped 80%, according to NPR.
“Every officer I think, not just here in Chicago, but every police officer around the country does not want to be that next viral video,” former Chicago Police Superintendent John Escalante told NPR.
Yet the Minneapolis City Council wants to completely dismantle their police force. Other communities are under pressure to do the same as demonstrators chant “defund the police” at rallies outside the homes of mayors.

Iowa Football Player Kaevon Merriweather Suggests The Entire Team Will Kneel During The National Anthem

It sounds like the Iowa Hawkeyes might kneel during the national anthem this upcoming football season .
Sophomore defensive back Kaevon Merriweather tweeted Monday afternoon a statement amid chaos consuming the program , and said in part , “ If you can not support us right now with this movement and with our team taking a knee during the national anthem , DO NOT support us during the football season.
” ( RELATED : David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football ) You can read his entire statement .
The tweet from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ across America after the death of George Floyd .
On top of that , Iowa ’ s program has been falling apart ever since strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle was accused of racially insensitive behavior .
Doyle has since been placed on leave pending an investigation .
Did you all want chaos during the college football season ?
Well , it looks like we ’ ve got it .
Now , it ’ s worth noting the national anthem in college football is handled differently than the NFL .
There ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the players on the field , and teams have stayed in the locker room before .
According to 247Sports , the team hasn ’ t made a decision on whether or not to kneel , but I ’ d say from Merriweather ’ s tweet that their intentions seem clear .
You think NFL fans were upset when Colin Kaepernick and other plays kneeled for the national anthem ?
Folks , that will pale in comparison to the reaction you ’ ll see from college football fans if college teams start taking knees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ live in the southern and the midwestern parts of America .
They don ’ t agree with kneeling at all .
Bang up job , guys !
Just incredible .
Not only are we going to have massive issues in the NFL , but it now also looks like we ’ re going to get the same in college football .
Also , it ’ s very possible to support black people and support standing for the national anthem .
Believe it or not , you don ’ t just have to pick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ happens during the season , but it sounds like the Hawkeyes are on the brink of utter disaster .

If you think you could possibly call yourself an Iowa Football fan and you can not agree with what I said and what this team is standing on. Then stop calling yourself a fan, IMMEDIATELY‼ BECAUSE I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT WE DO NOT CARE‼???????? pic.twitter.com/DgYFY56ojv — Kaevon Merriweather (@Kaevon02) June 8, 2020
The tweet from Merriweather comes after riots and protests spread across America after the death of George Floyd. On top of that, Iowa’s program has been falling apart ever since strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle was accused of racially insensitive behavior.
Doyle has since been placed on leave pending an investigation.

Did you all want chaos during the college football season? Well, it looks like we’ve got it. Now, it’s worth noting the national anthem in college football is handled differently than the NFL.
There’s nothing that forces the schools to have the players on the field, and teams have stayed in the locker room before.
According to 247Sports, the team hasn’t made a decision on whether or not to kneel, but I’d say from Merriweather’s tweet that their intentions seem clear.

The majority of college football fans live in the southern and the midwestern parts of America. They don’t agree with kneeling at all.

Bang up job, guys! Just incredible. Not only are we going to have massive issues in the NFL, but it now also looks like we’re going to get the same in college football.
Also, it’s very possible to support black people and support standing for the national anthem. Believe it or not, you don’t just have to pick one.
We’ll see what happens during the season, but it sounds like the Hawkeyes are on the brink of utter disaster.

thedailycaller--2020-06-09--Tucker Carlson Shreds Republicans For Ducking Black Lives Matter Demand To Defund The Police

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Monday that Republicans are ducking their responsibility to counter “ insane ” arguments from Black Lives Matter to defund or abolish police forces across American .
Referring to the past weekend of inflammatory rhetoric from Black Lives Matter , including a threat from one demonstrator to torch the diamond district of New York City , Carlson noted on “ Tucker Carlson Tonight ” that “ Black Lives Mattter means defund the police .
Got that ?
” He asked why more law and order politicians weren ’ t challenging that proposal .
“ Who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s in charge ?
Anyone ?
” ( RELATED : Philly Restaurant Stops Offering Free Food To Police After Backlash — ‘ We Believe Black Lives Matter ’ ) “ Yet amazingly , some Republicans in Washington seem giddy as they watch the country go insane .
‘ Democrats have gone too far this time , ’ they will tell you .
‘ We are guaranteed to win in November.
’ You ’ ve probably gotten texts to that effect recently from friends .
Sounds good .
But they are wrong , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ co-founder contended that those predictions “ are totally and completely wrong on many levels , ” and that it is irresponsible to duck the controversy and hope it goes away because “ if you care about a country , you ’ ve got to try .
You have an obligation to try your very best to protect and defend it no matter who is helped in November.
” Carlson defined that willingness to protect and defend a country as the very definition of patriotism .
He dismissed the over-confidence of some Republicans as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ calculation.
” ( RELATED : DC Mayor Won ’ t Answer Repeated Questions About Removing ‘ Defund The Police ’ Mural From City Street ) “ Bad ideas are like cancer , ” Carlson insisted , saying that ignoring or denying their existence only allows them to spread .
“ Most people as we noted currently oppose defunding the police , ” he told viewers , referring to a poll released Monday that found only 16 % of Americans supported the idea .
“ That is where the polls stand right now .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ three months ?
How about in three weeks ?
In an environment like this , you don ’ t know .
Things move fast.
” Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney marched in support of Black Lives Matter over the weekend — earning him President Donald Trump ’ s derision on Monday .
A roster of Hollywood and other celebrities have recently joined the movement and a former press secretary to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has also joined the chorus .

One of the biggest opponents of bringing US troops home was Mattis. He fought hard for the status quo. @realDonaldTrump ran and won the election partly by commitng to this policy.
Why would Mattis take the job & then undermine the policy? Because it’s what DC types do. — Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) June 6, 2020
