Mink has referred to police officers as "thugs" and "goons" on her social media. That makes her MORE outspoken against police than even Jawando. I don't see how she can separate herself from him.

Yes, she has, in cases where the police officers - not Montgomery County police officers - were behaving like thugs and goons. Since you are so familiar with her social media, how about finding the specific cases where they were behaving like that, and we can then have a discussion about whether or not you believe this was an appropriate way for police officers to behave.

You’ll find several calls on Mink’s sites for Elrich to defund MCPD specifically. You absolutely CANNOT make an argument that she’s pro-MCPD but anti-other departments. It’s absolutely impossible to look at her social media and see anything other than an extreme hatred of policing in general.

I appreciate your attempt to turn this on me by asking me to justify poor police behavior. We both know that’s not the issue at hand. Of course I don’t approve of police who abuse their position. I also don’t approve of having a council member on the public safety committee who so blatantly and forwardly speaks against policing.

The community has called for more policing and more traffic stops, as seen at recent council-led meetings. What do Mink and Jawando do? They introduce a bill that will allow for less. If it passes, the roads will become less safe for all.

Jawando and Mink see the police as the enemy. That’s quite clear.

We don't know any such thing. She condemns police who abuse their position. As do I. As should you.

So her many calls to defund all police, as well as the specific calls to defund MCPD, are somehow targeted to just police who abuse their position?

Good to know. Let’s make sure the honest, hard-working officers with integrity who feel discouraged by the county council are made aware of that fact.

You tried again to put this on me. Of course I can condemn police who abuse their position. I refuse to condemn all. There’s the difference.

And yet here you are, not doing it.

I’m not going down this path on DCUM. It’s off topic to the subject of this thread, and it’s merely an attempt to attack me. I’ve said I would, so if we get a thread on THAT topic, I will.

Clearly it’s difficult to attack my argument, that Mink has already established herself as vehemently anti-police.

Not that poster, but there is no clear pattern of Montgomery County police abusing their positions. At all.

It's stupid to ban them outright.

DUI is not a pretextual stop. Stopping a car that smells like cannabis is not a pretextual stop. Stopping a car because "the driver's eyes looked bloodshot" or "the driver looked tired" - when the driver was going by at 55 mph - those are pretextual stops. Otherwise known as lies.
