Well... With all the defunding comments and the limitations on even using tear gas to disburse rioters... I think the police departments are doing the right thing. Who knows... Maybe this gives the Demonrats the excuse they need to not hold a convention.

It's like they are giving themselves reasons to cancel it.

From a PR standpoint, you’d think they would be better off with private security anyway. Helps distance dems from the police (‘see, we don’t need police after all’), and they could even hand-pick the diversity of the ‘officers’. They could have a whole squad of black jewish transexuals, who rioters wouldn’t dare touch.

Its not their choice. Gotta 'follow orders' in the vein of how they already excuse their actions.

"ANTIFA doesn't exist bigot! And they're anti-fascist, therefor it's BIGOTED to not guard the DNC from ANTIFA because Trump is encouraging and fanning the flames of division in this country on Twitter and on CNN/MSNBC by not letting Hillary win in 2016, and Mayonaise is racist and America needs Full-Scale Luxury Communism and full stop everyone who disagrees is Russian or a Nazi and Russia is still communist and Vesti is RT which is the Kremlin which is Hitler, do you agree yes or no - you're wrong - China is not totalitarian. Period."-Leftists.
Almost literally... maybe 40% are that rediculous and it's really academias fault. Other fault is just human nature in general. But... America really needs a better education system because it really went to garbage since the KGB subverted it according to Yuri Bezmenov.
