Former NFL star Herschel Walker offered to meet with major airline companies in America and cut a deal for flights for “people who want to disband police” and send them to places “that don’t have police.”
“I have an idea… For all these people who don’t want any police, I’d love to meet with American Airlines, Delta, and Southwest and make a deal to fly them to countries that don’t have police. I want them to be happy!” Walker tweeted this week.
Virtually every developed nation in the world has some form of a police force. The smallest country on earth, Vatican City, has the Gendarmerie Corps enforcing local law there.
Over the weekend, Walker volunteered to serve as a “black leader” during a time of racial tension in America.
“We’re civilized people,” Walker said in a separate post. “Why can’t true congressmen/women and senators get together with leaders from all ethnic groups, both left and right, to find solutions… unless certain people in Washington don’t want to see a change. I’m volunteering myself as one of the black leaders.”
I have an idea…

Walker, an outspoken supporter of President Trump, earlier this month ridiculed Democrats for policies and statements that he said fans the flames of racism in America.
He also attacked the national media for what he said is unfair coverage of Trump’s response to the protests following the death of George Floyd.
“I remember it was Russia, Russia, Russia, and then it’s impeachment, impeachment, impeachment. Now, it’s a pandemic,” he said. “Enough of this. It’s enough.”
Social justice activists have adopted “defund the police” as their mantra while demanding an end to systemic racism in police departments and are pressuring local governments to reexamine how much and on what they spend taxpayer dollars regarding law enforcement.
“People like me who want to abolish prisons and police, however, have a vision of a different society, built on cooperation instead of individualism, on mutual aid instead of self-preservation,” wrote Mariame Kaba, an organizer against criminalization wrote in a June 12 opinion piece for the New York Times. “When the streets calm and people suggest once again that we hire more black police officers or create more civilian review boards, I hope that we remember all the times those efforts have failed.”
