Fund the police, defund the Left

America’s police departments are full of the bravest, most selfless, honest, and beloved men and women our country produces. They are patriots, a large proportion of whom join the force after serving in our military. They keep us safe. They are the reason we can sleep soundly in our beds at night. They put their lives on the line every day so that the rest of us don’t have to.

The campaign to demonize police (men and women of all races) is organized by the woke left wing of the Democratic Party and subtly supported by the media. Their words and tactics are outrageous. During the protests in the wake of George Floyd’s tragic death, officers stood guard protecting homes, businesses, and monuments, while adult-aged children attacked them with weapons and called them racists, fascists, and worse. They stood there for us, and our communities, and took it.
