[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing a contributor or benefactor is quietly picking up the tab for her.

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.  [/quote]
FFS, welcome to summer 2020. I know, I know “defund the police” is a moronic catchphrase because although a tiny percentage of the people who say it truly mean “let’s get rid of the police altogether!” what [i]most[/i] people is “let’s reconfigure the police forces so that they serve everyone to the best of their ability. Let’s get rid of the militarized police. Let’s have a larger mental health and social work presence, because a lot of the things for which the police are called would be better served by having a social worker or someone who works in mental health or drug addiction. Let’s make sure that Black people feel confident that if they call the police that they’ll get the same treatment a White who calls the police would get.” Etc. It’s more like “let’s reimagine the police.”

Dumb slogan, but there we are. Now you can stop being angry about the phrase and focus on the fact that right wing media has whipped a lot of unhinged right wingers into a hateful froth against AOC and she gets more threats of violence and sexual violence and sadism against her, so she has to fork over for private security because that’s not a service that the police provide. So the next time you hear Tucker or Ted Cruz or your friend Dick going off about AOC, listen for the freakish sexual/violent obsession with her. If it’s your friend, tell them what you hear in their voice. [/quote]
