[Chief X_Phackter]

The left has since walked it all back - saying that the "defund the police" verbiage was taken the wrong way - 'it's not what we meant' - but only because they thought it would ultimately hurt them politically.

Here's just one example - this is from California Congresswoman Waters in April 2021 with regard to police:

"We’ve got to stay on the street and we’ve got to get more active, we’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business."

That's not stoking the fire? I'm sure no one took that literally right?
