oan & fox news voice lahren being paid (with your taxes)to train police

[butters]

with little oversight about which speakers are brought in to help 'train' American police officers, it seems some areas are bringing in speakers keen to see these public servants adapt 'a warrior mentality' and decry the media's reporting about police violence and mob behaviour; rather than add to training of de-escalation, the conservative-pushed ideals being featured are more in the line of 'no police officer is wrong for killing someone'. When they bring in voices from oan, you know it's gonna be skewed.

The past several years have featured multiple tragic headlines about people killed in police custody, but if you’re Tomi Lahren, every single one of those cases was because people weren’t complying with police and were resisting arrest — and that’s sadly not even the worst message your taxpayer dollars are paying for police officers to hear.

Mediaite spoke to Jason Pye, the Director of Rule of Law Initiatives at the Due Process Institute, about paying a commentator like Lahren for police “training.”

Pye, whose father was a police officer, was scathing in his reaction to Lahren’s presence at that conference, saying “it’s beyond me” why she would even be invited.

“It’s frustrating because Tomi Lahren has a platform and people listen to her,” he continued, “and this is the narrative I’m hearing more and more from conservative commentators.”

“Come on, this is not a substitute for reasoned political thought or even basic human decency,” Pye urged, noting how easy it was to find an overwhelming number of cases of someone who was innocent and killed by the police, or a situation where there was a clear case of abuse of power, like Chauvin’s conviction for killing Floyd.

Lahren was not hired for her voice.

No, it was not paid for with my tax dollars. The conference was run by a private enterprise. No one from my city’s police department attended on the city’s dime.

Not sure why anyone would listen to her, really. Not exxactly a high-wattage pundit.

She's about average in her ability to convey her message. The reason she gets asked to convey that message is because;

1. She stood up when others didn't.

2. She's a "real" she and not a guy posing as one.

3. Guys want to date her. (wait, sorry, this one is AOC. My bad.)

Are you sure?
