Leftist pols don't hate the police, it's a game. The same game rightwing pols play with abortion.
The left wants the police to be "defunded" the same as the right wants abortion to be illegal. Which is "not at all". Both are dog whistles to their base.
You want to see how much the left likes the police? Make some noise in a left wing suburb after 10:00. 911. Immediately. Put their car on cinderblocks. 911. Have a black man follow them from a comfortable distance at night. 911. Defund the police is leftwing virtue signaling the same way pro life is rightwing virtue signaling. Because if they ever accomplished their goal the result would be so unpopular that you couldn't elect a Democrat dog catcher.
The guns used to be a game too. Leftwing pols would boast about taking the guns and donations would roll in. Ringwing pols would fearmongering about them taking your guns and the donations would roll in. And then they'd both have a beer together with donated cash and laugh about Americans being fucking idiots.
And this is how both sides are the same. Sitting there in their gerrymandered safe district having a pint over their political play theater. But then someone comes along with a vision, with a real passion for what they're talking about and suddenly, maybe they actually do it. And both sides are horrified that they actually fucking did it, but nobody stops them because they are in too deep.
And the worst part? The left doesn't hate cops. But they made us "pro cop" by virtue of pretending to hating them. Because our tribal left/right bullshit means "we" hate whatever "they" like and vice versa. But the side that is "pro-cop" is in for it when the other side controls the cop. Because we've conditioned our side to think the cops are the good guys. And now they're working for someone else.

It has definitely been interesting watching the whiplash around here as everyone went from Back the Blue rallies to "Fuck the police".
I'm pro cop, my grandpa was a cop and I have his shield on my desk. But never forget that the commander in chief of the military was Donald Trump one day and Joe Biden the next. Cops too, are at the whims of whose in charge. And most will follow orders. That's all I mean.
Leftists can be smart sometimes.
They hate the police.
They hate gun owners.
Order the police to commit suicide by grabbing guns.
I think there might be a flaw in your logic.
