Democratic Missouri Representative Cori Bush, a member of the progressive "Squad," on Sunday called America "racist AF," after she backed defunding the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. "Our communities wouldn't have needed to spark a national movement to save Black lives if America weren't racist AF," Bush tweeted Sunday afternoon. The congresswoman's remarks come two days after she praised a "historic" vote to defund the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. (Snip) St. Louis is ranked by Neighborhood Scout as one of the country's most dangerous cities. Between 2009 and 2019, at least 179 people were killed by local police or

Texas' Governor Abbott had the right idea. After Austin voted to defund the police, the governor moved to defund the city. I note that the Austin city council just moved to get the homeless off streets and out of public spaces so maybe there is hope for the city. But I can't wait to see how they propose to enforce these new restrictions without the police.

It amazes me that these leftists always only go half way. Yes Rep Bush, Half of America is racist AF. It's the Democrat Party and it always has been. From slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, Japanese internment, keeping all blacks on the Dem plantation. Systemic racism is democrat run cities and police departments for the last 50, 60. 90 years.
Finish your thought dems. You have been owning and oppressing Blacks since 1820. The problem isn't the Party of abolition.

The assumption is that the St. Louis Police Department commits murders. If this is true, how is reducing the budget going to decrease these alleged murders? Reducing the budget will result in an increase in the total of murders in St. Louis. Are St. Louis residents going to tolerate this insanity?

Cori, look at the FBI statistics for murder by race. If you are black, you have almost a 90% chance of being killed by another black person.
Only 8% of the killings of black people were done by white people, and that includes self defense and other justifiable killings. Read the FBI statistics and base your opinions on facts you incredibly stupid cow of a woman!!!!!!
If you gave a tinker's damn about black people, you would be working to stop the black-on-black killing -- not the tiny number of black people killed by police (almost always justified)!!!

#1, no, the Communist city council and mayor of Austin allowed the homeless to camp and panhandle anywhere they wanted the last couple of years. Homeless tent cities were popping up everywhere. They were dangerous and unsanitary and destroyed our beautiful city. Several of them caught fire. They could panhandle without consequences, making it totally unsafe for any normal person (especially women) to be anywhere near them, since most of them are mentally ill and get violent and agitated when you tell them "no".
No, it was a citizen's petition that forced them to put it on the ballot on May 1st. Even in the super lie-beral snowflake city of Austin, the change to the law to make public camping and panhandling illegal again passed by nearly 60%!!! Even a large majority of lie-berals had had enough!!!
I do not expect the mayor and city council to accept this, and they will try to find new ways to get around the will of the peasants. But I am hoping Gov. Abbott and the legislature will make sure they have to follow the will of the people!!!!!

Stop and think folks, it is becoming obvious that the communists in charge are intent on replacing all local police with a National police like Stasi or KGB to control everyone and assure compliance with the politburo. "Defund Police " has no other purpose because even the libs know you have to have control to enforce the "Law". Notice how laws are being changed.

I suspect that police are UNACCEPTABLE to people who were raised without fathers because because police represent authority.

in a city like St. Louis I imagine there would be a pretty large number of black police officers but that doesn't seem to deter these commie slugs from continuing their purge of police departments around the country.

Cori has to say this so as to validate her black AF credentials.
It's why she is where she is.

She is a representative of the people. The people elected her and others like her. I know we hate to admit that, and don't abide the apparent consequences of these choices. Her district includes all of the city of St. Louis and most of northern St. Louis County. These people can now reap the consequences of their elected representation. They deserve their democratic choice "good and hard", as Mencken put it. Maybe they can manufacture utopia out of this mess. Let's all watch to see...

She's welcome to leave the country for good at any time if this country is too racist for her. I'll even pack her bags and pay for the airfare.

Language is indicator if culture. A certain culture refuses to evolve and wants to drag the rest if us into their amoral abyss.

A black Senator went on TV and expressed his opinions. Those who disagreed with his opinions called him ''Oreo'' and ''Uncle Tim''....yep, that's pretty racist.

Black violence is the REAL epidemic in my America.......
Look it up!
And having 73% illegitimate government-handout no father little blacks doesn’t put them in any favorable category either.
When will the good ones clean out the horribly violent ones????????

Let's be very clear about this. Discrimination in 2021 America has virtually nothing to do with skin color and pretty much everything to do with a subculture that doesn't value fathers, education, and all too often human life.
This subculture (especially among black Americans) is encouraged by those who can gain power and/or money by encouraging bad behavior. I'm looking at you race hustlers (for example Al Sharpton and Ben Crump) and at the Democratic Party going back many decades or more. Special recognition goes to Lyndon Johnson and Barack Obama. But the list of others is in the hundreds of millions.
I view all people first as children of God and my literal spiritual brothers and sisters. A person's ethnicity, cultural past and upbringing are interesting parts of an individual.
But BEHAVIOR of each individual person, and NOT SKIN COLOR or other physical characteristics, is how I judge the people I encounter.

Decades ago there was a book called "Winning Through Intimidation." These people are living it. They have learned that violence works, and they are amping it up. This is NOT going to be solved through elections. There needs to be real pushback and force.

How do you save black lives by voting to abort black infants from the womb.
2 0r 3 Black get killed by cops and the Democrats want to save black lives, yet they vote for genocide of black by abortion.
The sick Democrat politicians may be slick enough to fool black into thinking they care about black live but they don't fool me. All the while they preach to black how heart felt they are about blacks they are importing Hispanics to put them out of work and replace them at the voting booth.
It tells me that blacks watching this happen are either not smart or they are easily fooled.

The Squad has new members? Wonderful. Just another stupid hateful vicious dishonest person that has no business in government, but people were stupid enough to vote for her. Maybe she is a reflection of her Congressional district. Maybe her district would have sent someone more moderate but they could not get any financial support to launch a competitive campaign.

Apparently the term AF is a grammatically incorrect adjective that mean As (the F word). Seems like language unbecoming of a lady.
