Well, Joe Biden just lost a large constituent group during his SOTU address, He lost the domestic terrorist vote for suggesting that we need more police on the streets and that defunding the police is not an option. The blowback has been fast and furious (Not to be confused with Ana Navarro’s code name Fat and Furious). If we had more police there would be less looting and burning f4om groups like BLM and antifa.
The official account for the “Black Lives Matter” movement is being deluged with comments blasting Biden’s speech.
Biden said during the SOTU speech:
“Proven strategies like community violence interruption, trusted messengers, breaking the cycle of violence and trauma, and giving young people some hope.”
“We should all agree the answer is not to defund the police, it’s to fund the police!”
“Fund them! Fund them! Fund them with resources and training! Resources and training they need to protect our communities!”
The official BLM account posted a frowning photograph of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) in response to Biden’s statement.

Here are some of the postings on the official BLM website:
“Fund the police? F*** you, Joe Biden. I f***ing hate this s***hole country.”
“Love how Biden listed a bunch of bipartisan things he signed for many groups and then for black ppl was like, ‘F*** YOUR MARCHES, More money for the police! Suck it blacks!’ Real cool stuff.”
“lmao mask off ig this geriatric republican lite f***”
“Dude says we need to fund the police. He’s an enemy of the people. Simple as that,” replied Albert Corado, a candidate for the Los Angeles City Council.
“F*** off, Joe. The police are a corrupt, racist, transphobic, queerphobic institution. All cops are bastards.”
The Democrats would actually love to defund the police, but the problem with that is that it has gone over like a lead balloon with the voters and yes, even the majority of Black voters, and why not? They are the overwhelming victims of violent crimes. They do not want to become willing victims to the criminal element.
Rep James Clyburn of SC says that the Defund the Police movement is a non-starter.
