Dana Summers for April 27, 2022

I think that if you actually look at the stats (not easily done, because “liberal judge” isn’t a well defined category) you’ll find that that trials come out about the same regardless. Not least because the important ones at the bottom level, usually involve a jury. And also because they all know that their rulings are going to be examined by lawyers, judges and scholars with every possible political bent… and they’re ALL going to be looking at how well those rulings follow the current body of law.

Which judge actually asking for defending police

Never mind the other side that wants to end Democracy entirely.

Trump supporters are still mad that the “Central Park Five” weren’t executed….

Most liberals do not want to actually defund the police. Biden has increased police funding. Time and time again, more Republicans are the ones that vote against police funding.

These days projection has become the go to response of Republicans when confronted with reality.

A tightrope between two false premises. Typical Dana.

The Emperor’s New Police:

The Left refuses to notice the Crime Wave that’s flooding America. They hate it when anyone else notices. They consider it a crime when anyone talks about it.

Is hiring specialists to deal with the mentally ill or not buying armored vehicles really defunding?

Is this supposed to make sense?

Hey, the libs need those felons to be free, and out on the streets – so they can vote for Dementia Joe.

De-fund the Police was a poor slogan but it was based on repeated abuse by some officers. Retraining and vetting would have been a better message to bring forward. We all know the need for officers but many of us think they approach problems more aggressively and militarily than they need to, often exacerbating the problem.

The real crime wave in this nation has been caused by Cops and D.A.‘s ignoring crime until it’s reached a level that people will vote in ‘hard on crime’ candidates rather than allowing for alternative solutions to gain traction in policing.

I’d be interested in knowing where the right gets it’s statistics on crime. Any look at a crime database – the FBI, the DOJ, local police agencies, shows that crime (in all areas) over the last 20 years has significantly decreased compared to the preceding 20 years. For the last two years violent crime has increased, but other crime has stayed about the same.

The cause of violent crime has little to do with the politics of DAs and local government. It has to do with easy access to fire arms. In particular, ghost guns. The right does not want to talk about that, though.

Yes, crime is a problem just now, but if we can get the leaders of the insurrection convicted and sentenced to jail time, thing will improve dramatically.

Is this cartoon supposed to be THIS funny?

But its ok for ONE unqualified right wing extremist activist judge to overturn the whole mask rule just as a new wave of covid is appearing?

Its all right with Summers if the right wing stacked Supreme Court takes away Americans rights.

The supreme court’s coming abortion ruling may spark a new era of US unrest

There’s a strong risk that the case will spark anger and violence – whether the court overturns Roe v Wade or not

‘We have a democracy problem’: how Texas voter suppression helps keep climate action off the table

A majority of Texans want politicians to address the climate crisis, but broadscale voter suppression means leaders are less responsive to voters’ concerns

Right wingers don’t care if they kill the climate.
