CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 10, 2020
THE OLD ADAGE THAT EVEN A STOPPED CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY CAN BE APPLIED TO AL SHARPTON. YES, THE SO-CALLED REVEREND SHARPTON ACTUALLY GOT SOMETHING RIGHT.
SHARPTON LIVES IN NEW YORK, WHICH IS RAPIDLY BECOMING A CITY FEWER PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN DUE TO LOOTING, RIOTING MURDER AND TAXES.
SHARPTON FELT IT NECESSARY TO ADDRESS THE BLACK LIVES MATTER AND OTHER FAR LEFT ORGANIZATIONS THAT WANT TO DE-FUND THE POLICE.
APPEARING ON MSNBC, SHARPTON SAID DEFUNDING POLICE IS SOMETHING ONLY “A LATTE LIBERAL” WHO LIVES IN THE HAMPTONS COULD SUPPORT. HE ADDED, “ON THE SIDE OF THE CITY I COME FROM, WHICH IS BLACKER AND POORER, WE’VE SEEN MORE IN TERMS OF GUN USAGE. ON THE GROUND THERE IS CERTAINLY MORE VIOLENT, FEELING MORE UNSAFE IN UNSAFE COMMUNITIES.”
HE’S RIGHT. IT IS THE POOR WHO ARE THE VICTIMS OF MOST STREET CRIME. CHECK CHICAGO, AS WELL AS NEW YORK. DEFUNDING THE POLICE MEANS MORE VIOLENCE IN POOR NEIGHBORHOODS. KEEP IT UP REV. AL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
