George Floyd Protest/Riots

[GAVol]

This woman is scum!

It’s a little tone deaf, but she’s honoring the military. Yet, people will fail to understand, lose their minds and scream for her job... which is kind of ironic.

She's comparing the American military to a domestic terrorist group.

I think there is a lot of political opportunism and appeasement going on right now. These cuts would probably happen anyways as city budgets have been decimated by COVID shutdowns.

Is Nashville that far gone?

I don’t think she was honoring the military. I think she was trying to justify the actions of a bunch of dickheads who are tearing up cities under the guise that they are fighting fascists.

Have you heard country music lately?

Is Nashville that far gone?

No... there is a contingent (not majority) of outsiders that have moved to Nashville from the last place they screwed up barking out loud. The Mayor is a moron, but he's not that stupid.

No one's saying to turn it over to anyone. Just to defund and dismantle.

Never forget when the NYPD went on strike to prove a point and the crime rate dropped

In New York, major crime complaints fell when cops took a break from ‘proactive policing’

Looks like things, even before COVID, were not going well. They and everyone else better get used to austerity for awhile.

Never negotiate with terrorists...

Lol no it didn’t. It just wasn’t handled or reported.

He's gone country...look at them boots.

Overplayed and continue overplaying their hand and is gonna backfire. Americans want law and order.

Most people didn’t know they were even on strike, it’s not like everyone just decided to stop reporting crime. Keep grasping

I read the article. It states that major crime complaints fell, but it doesn't address whether major crimes actually fell, which is bizarre to me. I didn't look into who is behind the study, though they are referenced as "scientists".

No what I mean is they gather their statistics from officer reports

I imagine it would take a while to track convictions for crimes committed in that particular span of time. Doesn’t really seem worth it

No doubt... the State is ready to pounce.

I was not not even aware the state could step in. Isn't that what happened in Detroit after they declared bankruptcy and had a bunch of hurdles to jump?

I'd say there is value in understanding the full outcome. This is an LA Times article (about NYC) referencing that this was an idea originating from a former LA police chief... Wonder if this influences the narrative.

Not sure about Detroit, but the TN State Constitution allows for the State Comptroller to takeover under certain circumstances involving balanced budgets.
