Patrisse Cullors, a founding member of BLM has accused Democrats of cowardice because they refuse to defund the police. Think about it for a minute. Can you think of any group that would benefit from closing all police stations? I can. Criminals. Besides, they do not necessarily need to defund the police. All they have to do is make sure a woke liberal becomes mayor. The mayors of Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, New York, and New Orleans will not allow the police to deal with rioters who burn and loot businesses.
In a recent interview with the Guardian, Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors accused President Joe Biden (D) and other elected officials of being cowards because they will not defund the police. But cities that did defund police have had to backtrack and now they are unable to find enough people to serve. In many other police departments, the morale is so low it can walk under a pregnant cockroach without stooping.
Cullors is a self-described Marxist with a proclivity for buying million-dollar properties. That is what forced her to resign from BLM. In an interview with the Guardian published Sunday, Cullors accused law enforcement of having an inherited “culture of violence” that requires their elimination. She cited the killing of Tyre Nichols.
Cullors stated:
“Every year, families, community members, organizers have said this must stop and there’s a different way to do this. And yet there has been deep cowardice from officials. The burden is on the officials who create the budgets for the police and other resources, who turn away from the violence and continue it in their departments.”
“It’s truly a failure of leadership at the highest level, all the way up to our president. This movement was able to help get Joe Biden into office, and yet in his first State of the Union address, he yelled: ‘Fund the police.'”

The administration’s plan sought to allocate $35 billion to support law enforcement and crime prevention in the 2023 fiscal year.
Cullors called on elected officials to remove law enforcement officers from traffic stops, which she referred to as a “very reasonable demand.” She noted that Berkeley, Philadelphia, and Seattle are already piloting programs that remove police officers from traffic stops.
She urged Buttigieg to “lead a conversation about what federal dollars could fund programs to remove law enforcement from traffic stops.”
According to Cullors, “The people who hold the power have chosen not to wield it on behalf of Black life. They’ve chosen to side with violent police forces.”
Initially, Democrats were supporting defunding the police until they discovered it was political suicide. Look what happened to House Democrats in New York State. Crime turned out to be a major theme for voters and Republicans picked up a lot of seats in that Deep Blue state.
