America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections

LISTEN TO THIS! LOS ANGELES CITY OFFICIAL NURY MARTINEZ USED $100k IN COP SECURITY THEN DEMANDS COP BUDGET CUT - REMIND YOU OF KAMALA HARRIS' SHIT?
LA Council Pres Who Called for Defunding LAPD Had Private LAPD Home Detail
Don't worry folks. All this Defund the Police stuff is for the proles. It means that when someone breaks into your home, you'll have a social worker respond the next day and tell you to check your privilege and urge you to donate to charities for the underprivileged.
While LA City Council President Nury Martinez was filing a motion last week seeking to cut $150 million from the LAPD budget, she had an LAPD unit standing watch outside her home providing her family with a private security detail since April.
The round-the-clock protection unit, often staffed by two officers, infuriated some members of the police force when Martinez introduced the motion, which reads in part:
“We need a vision for our city that says ‘there is going to be justice.’ American society is founded on a racial hierarchy, one that is born out of slavery, followed by Jim Crow segregation and corporate abuse of labor. As such, police departments are asked to enforce a system of laws that are designed to reinforce and maintain economic and racial inequality.”
McBride, who has been in law enforcement for 30 years, spent more than five years at the LAPD’s Foothill Division, which serves Martinez’s district in the San Fernando Valley.
“It’s kind of ironic. Here she is demanding $150 million be reallocated from the police budget, but yet she has security at her house by the Los Angeles Police Department,” said Det. Jamie McBride, who serves as director of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the LAPD’s union.
Were there failures to respond to calls from citizens because Nury Martinez had to be protected? But that's just how it is.
The city, county, and state bosses are not about to give up their security. They want you to give up your security.

A Los Angeles city official has come under fire for using the LAPD as her 'personal security' for the last two months at a cost of $100,000 to the city, while she has filed a motion to cut the police department's budget by $150 million.
LA City Council President Nury Martinez has been slammed after it emerged LAPD cops were stationed outside her home at the same time she was introducing the motion calling for the force to be defunded.
Martinez joined other council members Herb Wesson, Curren Price and Monica Rodriguez last week in demanding millions of dollars be cut from the LAPD's budget, amid widespread calls for police forces across America to be disbanded and replaced by alternative community measures following the death of George Floyd at the hands of cops in Minneapolis.
'We need a vision for our city that says "there is going to be justice." American society is founded on a racial hierarchy, one that is born out of slavery, followed by Jim Crow segregation and corporate abuse of labor,' the motion reads.

'As such, police departments are asked to enforce a system of laws that are designed to reinforce and maintain economic and racial inequality.'
Jamie McBride, director of the LAPD union Los Angeles Police Protective League Detective, slammed Martinez's actions as 'disgusting' as he estimated the security set the city back a staggering $100,000 - at a time when it is in the midst of a budget crisis due to the coronavirus pandemic.
'It's disgusting. For two officers in front of a residence since April, you're probably over $100,000 of the people's money,' McBride told Spectrum News 1.
'It's kind of ironic. Here she is demanding $150 million be reallocated from the police budget, but yet she has security at her house by the Los Angeles Police Department.'
McBride said Martinez should have hired private security instead of using taxpayer money to protect her and her family.
The city council leader first began receiving round-the-clock guard, usually with two cops stationed outside her home 24 hours a day, back on April 4, according to Spectrum.
A spokesman for Martinez told Spectrum the security was put in place after Martinez and her daughter had received death threats.
From May 6, the 24/7 coverage was then lowered to cops standing guard from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., with regular patrol checks throughout the night.

The private security only came to an end Thursday night when Spectrum said it contacted Martinez's office over the claims.
Martinez's spokesman told Spectrum the detail had been axed because the security being made public meant the protection was then compromised.
However, McBride told Spectrum if the threat was credible the security would have been kept in place.

Calls are mounting across the nation for police forces to be defunded or dismantled altogether after Floyd's death sparked protests calling for an end to police brutality and racism.
Floyd died on Memorial Day when white cop Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes while the black man begged him to stop and gasped 'I can't breathe'.
A cut of $150 million from the LAPD would work out at around to eight percent of the force's annual budget of around $3.1 billion.
On Wednesday LA Mayor Eric Garcetti agreed to redirect $250 million from the department and other city programs towards youth jobs, health initiatives and 'peace centers' for the black community.
Garcetti angered the force on announcing the news and came under fire for saying LAPD cops were 'killers' in a speech last Thursday.
'[Reform] starts someplace, and we say we are going to be who we want to be, or we're going to continue being the killers that we are,' Garcetti said in a speech at First African Methodist Episcopal Church.
The vision of Black Lives Matter activists for how to defund and replace traditional police
Following the death of George Floyd, thousands have taken to the streets across the US to demand justice. Activists are even calling for police to be defunded, while acknowledging this is a gradual process.
The group MPD150, which says it is 'working towards a police-free Minneapolis,' argues that such action would be more about 'strategically reallocating resources, funding, and responsibility away from police and toward community-based models of safety, support, and prevention'.
The group states on its website: 'The people who respond to crises in our community should be the people who are best-equipped to deal with those crises. Rather than strangers armed with guns, who very likely do not live in the neighborhoods they're patrolling, we want to create space for more mental health service providers, social workers, victim/survivor advocates, religious leaders, neighbors and friends – all of the people who really make up the fabric of a community – to look out for one another'.

Adding that those who commit crime often only do so when their basic needs are not filled by other means.
Retired Minneapolis Police Chief Tony Bouza told the group: 'The idea of police as crime preventers is rubbish. By the time the cop appears the criminal has been formed and the crime has been committed .'
Speaking at a BLM protest today Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said: 'I will never stop saying, not only do we need to dis-invest in police, but we need to completely dismantle the Minneapolis police department, it is rotten to the root. And so when we dismantle we allow for something beautiful to arise. And that re-imagining allows us to figure out what public safety looks like for us.'
Among plans put forward by Black Lives Matter, MPD150 and other activists to replace police are:
Mental health responders to attend mental health crisis in place of armed police Street outreach teams, more shelters and affordable housing to help solve homelessness and stop the homeless from being criminalized
Traffic stops to be eliminated entirely, with traffic violations dealt with via mail
Community members to attend domestic violence calls, to help intervene and establish long-term safety for the individuals
Specialized physical and emotional support for victims of sexual violence
Investing in prevention of sex trafficking to end economic and social conditions that lead to deeply rooted vulnerabilities
The legalization of marijuana to stop incarceration for the 'harmless' drug
Better handling of drug offences to stop 'criminalizing of communities of color'
Decriminalization of sex work and formation of an independent union to ensure individuals have insurance, child care and safety precautions
Restorative justice (meetings between victim and offender) to be used to deal with property crimes such as theft and burglary
Kamala Harris, calling for $150 million LAPD defunding, also used LAPD as her private security detail
A Los Angeles city councilwoman was exposed as a hypocrite for introducing a bill to cut $150 million from the Los Angeles Police Department budget, while maintaining an LAPD private detail at her home for herself.
Security for me, but not for thee, see, the leftist political elites always gets their takings first.
Guess who else is just as hypocritical?
Sure enough, Kamala Harris, Democratic vice presidential frontrunner, who's loudly endorsed these $150 million police defundings, supporting the idea, along with her political ally, Mayor Eric Garcetti, who was last seen calling the LAPD 'killers.'
Sen. Kamala D. Harris of California on Tuesday said she applauds Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for his move to cut about $150 million from a planned increase to the city’s police budget but that the ongoing push for law enforcement reform “doesn’t mean we get rid of police.”
“I support investing in communities so that they become more healthy and therefore more safe,” Ms. Harris said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “I applaud Eric Garcetti for doing what he’s done.”
And like Martinez, she also helped herself to some LAPD police resources for private purposes. She did the same thing as Martinez, except on a more sprawling scale. Remember this?
Armed, plain-clothes LAPD officers were dispatched to California cities outside of Los Angeles at least a dozen times to provide security for U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris at public events, media appearances, and a party.
LA taxpayers paid for airline tickets, hotel stays, car rentals, and meals, according to detailed expense reports obtained by NBC News. The total cost of the trips, not including the officers' overtime, topped $28,000.
The $28K was just a starting point in the cost extravaganza – overtime and other expenses made the total close to $50K. A new police chief found out about the unprecedented freebie from the people of Los Angeles and put a stop to it. The mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, says he never heard of it and laid the blame squarely on recently retired LAPD chief Charlie Beck. One thing is certain: it's never been done before. But this being Harris, it's not surprising it happened.
"We've got to re-examine what we're doing with American taxpayer dollars and ask the question: are we getting the right return on our investment?," the senator said.
I think we know what they were doing with LAPD police resources - using it to succor themselves, and as I argued earlier - benefit themselves of un-declared campaign contributions to their own advantage against their competitors. Who needs to budget for security at campaign rallies and parties with supporters when the cops will do that for them, free of charge, likely in exchange for not prosecuting them for police brutality or corruption or whatever. One hand washes the other, as I argued here.
Beck and Harris go way back, at least until 2012, when they were spotted at a big University of Southern California conference together. Harris covered up for Beck's assorted corner-cuttings, and he started spewing the Democratic Party's party line -- on illegals, gun control, and supporting Black Lives Matter as early as 2015. Harris herself cut a lot of corners as state attorney general - in this piece here, I noted:
She falsified a confession transcript of a defendant and then, when she was caught, defended it. She's been caught making phony charges of racism about her Berkeley upbringing, as if Berkeley in the 1970s were a den of Klansmen. She has an army of fake Twitter followers in an obvious bid to make herself look more influential than she really is. Lately, she put out a deceptively edited video to smear [Supreme Court nominee Brett] Kavanaugh.
Throw on top of that her refusal to admit exonerating evidence against some sad sack in a death penalty case, and keeping people in prison beyond their terms so she could order them to fight wildfires, as outlined by former presidential contender Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and we have one corrupt prosecutor, who helps herself to the goodies.
But it's worse, way worse than that, now that she's touting the cutting of funds from the Los Angeles Police Department, money that won't go toward cutting private security budgets for politicians, but policing of inner city neighborhoods.
Harris is all in for that, cutting policing of poor neighborhoods beset by gangs and thugs, and handing it over to community organizers. Policing is all fine if it's to benefit herself, but too bad about that inner city shopkeeper with no political connections, who now gets no police response when some gangster shakes out his cash register at the end of his 12 hour day. That's the least of it.
Bottom line is, poor neighborhoods are going to be on the sharp end of this great defunding for communiy organizers, and Harris is right there helping herself to police benefits while demanding they be cut for the poor.
Is this disgusting? It sure is, especially because she is now at the front of the line to be Joe Biden's vice presidential candidate. She's vowed to be the ' prosecutor president.' She's calling to cut policing funds for inner city neighborhoods while using the LAPD as her own personal security detail. It's always 'me first' with these elitists. The person she should prosecute is herself.
Homicides rose by 250% in Los Angeles, and the number of shooting victims rose by 56%, during the week ending June 6, according to the Los Angeles Police Department — the same week as the Black Lives Matter protests and riots.
The week of 5/31 to 6/6, homicides went up 250% and victims shot went up 56% compared to the previous week.
The past 24 hrs has seen 4 shootings, one of those resulting in a homicide. Detectives are following leads to ID & arrest the suspects—but we’re also asking for your help
The surge in deadly crimes in L.A. mirrored similar reports elsewhere in the country for the week of May 31 to June 6, when riots and looting exploded alongside “peaceful protests” against the killing of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In Chicago, for example, May 31 marked the single deadliest 24-hour period in 60 years, with 18 people killed.
Crime escalated, in part, because police who normally would have been patrolling neighborhoods were pulled off the beat to secure downtown areas and commercial districts targeted by looters.
Ironically, L.A.’s grim week coincided with Mayor Eric Garcetti’s announcement that the LAPD budget would be cut by up to $150 million, which is more than two percent of the current total. His announcement encouraged protesters who support calls to “defund” or “abolish” the police.
The money, he said, was to be “reinvested” in “communities of color” — the same communities enduring a crime wave during the Black Lives Matter protests.

Don't worry folks. All this Defund the Police stuff is for the proles. It means that when someone breaks into your home, you'll have a social worker respond the next day and tell you to check your privilege and urge you to donate to charities for the underprivileged.
The nomenklatura will have protection, whether it's private security for guys like Jeff Bezos, or private police details for political bosses.
