Welcome to the Left: 'When you are a police officer, you are not black anymore'

[SugarDaddy1]

As presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden searches for a running mate, leftist progressives in his party and among his liberal base are urging him not to pick a particular black Democratic female lawmaker because she was once a police officer.

According to those offering advice to the nominee, the most important characteristics of a good vice presidential candidate do not include aptitude, leadership ability, experience, or understanding of the Constitution. Rather, these so-called advisers are telling Biden he must select a woman, preferably a black woman.

Unless that black woman is Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.), who served as Orlando's first female police chief from 2007 to 2011.

"We are working to abolish police. We are working to defund police. When you are a police officer, you are not black anymore. You are blue," Newsome said.

The entire concept presupposes that blacks are on the criminal side of the equation. Most of the women and two-thirds of the men are not felons. In addition to many black men and women serving honorably to protect "their" neighborhoods and those of us not burdened with living in high-crime areas, blacks are disproportionately victimized by crime.

Defund the police however you mean that idiotic slogan means you favor decreased police presence in black neighborhoods. We know from hard research that the Ferguson effect is real. Less engaged police in results in higher crime rate and more actual murder. You're advocating chaos in the very neighborhoods with the most victims of crimes.
