They don't understand what defund the police means because it can't be explained in one sentence with only ten words. It does not mean get rid of all police but that's the RWNJ narrative. Also massive thread fail because the reason AOC has to spend money on personal protection is because of RWNJs constantly threatening her. Lame.

Au Contraire, Little Grasshopper.
When these people tell us who they are and what they think - believe them.
They mean defund and abolish.

AOC: "Defund the Police means DEFUND."

The suckers who have spent the last few weeks arguing that “defund the police” does not literally mean “defund the police” should be feeling pretty annoyed right now with Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The way the freshman congresswoman tells it, “defund” means exactly what it sounds like.

On Tuesday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the City Council reached a tentative deal to cut $1 billion from the New York Police Department, “though nearly half will be through shifting school safety from the police to the Department of Education,” according to Gotham Gazette senior reporter Samar Khurshid.

Ocasio-Cortez, who represents New York’s 15th District, did not take the news well.

“Defunding police means defunding police,” she said in a statement. “It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD budget to the Department of Education’s budget so that the exact same police remain in schools.”

And as far as I’m concerned, that’s money well-spent. She needs to protected and safe, so she can keep uttering facepalm-worthy statements as often as possible. She’s the younger face of democrat party, and I want her to be able to say as many stupid things as she can. And she hasn’t disappointed thus far.

I’m with you there. The problem is not that she has security, it’s that she is pushing policies that make the rest of us less safe while ensuring SHE is safe.

People calling for defunding the police are doing so to make people MORE safe not less. They're not pro crime. They are anti police killing private citizens willy nilly. Which you obviously know but are still snarkily pretending means something different.

how does defunding the police make us more safe when crime happens?

Everyone can't have a private security team like AOC. That is the hypocrisy. She said herself what she meant by defund. That means the rest of us without the means to hire private security get to live with crime ridden communities while the elite get protection.

I don’t believe a militarized police force that is accountable to no one, makes any of us safer.

Do you also pay thousands for dollars monthly for militarized bodyguards? No? Ok! You aren’t a hypocrite then. Move along citizen, the urban killing fields await you.

Don't worry, this is far more important to you than to the rest of us.

That’s why you commented; you don’t care at all.

AOC gets 24/7 coverage from the nutso right wing so that's why she needs security. They cover her every move and focus their mouth breathing viewers and listeners ire on her.

This is a completely separate issue from policing and I think it's hilarious that so many of the resident morons on this board think this is some sort of slam dunk for "hypocrisy."

How are you so free for commenting on this board? Shouldn't you be busy boarding up your house before the "urban killing fields" come for you?

So many conservative winners on DCUM.

+1 I’m not her biggest fan but there are people in prison right now because they threatened her.

But it's a great "deflection". The OP started a thread attempting to attack AOC for spending her own money. The hypocrisy of the right knows no bounds.
