Talking to Sean Hannity on Fox News, Sen. Kennedy has really the only reasonable answer for people who want to defund the police: Call the bad guys for help next time you need it.
It’s like rich people who say tax the rich. You want to give the government more money? NOBODY’S STOPPING YOU, PAL.
And if you want to defund the police, STOP CALLING THEM.
“I’ve said it before, if you hate cops just because they’re cops, feel free to call a criminal, call a meth head the next time you get in trouble,” he said. “I just do not accept, nor do I think most Americans accept, that most cops are bad people, or racist,” he went on to say. “They don’t get up every day and go into work hoping they can hurt somebody. Most of them get up every day and hope they can themselves come back home alive.”
He also said “if you support defunding the police, you have tested positive for stupid.”
That was a great line. This was a great point:
“If you are a cop and you see someone about to stab me, I would personally appreciate it if you would stop them. Shoot them if you have to, I don’t care who they are.”
Now that’s the dang truth. And you know what? Normal people agree no matter who they are or where they live.
