DNC video: Democrat asks “why can’t folks imagine a world without the cops?”

This is one portion of the Democrats’ convention proceedings that the cable news networks and major newspapers seem to be desperately trying to keep a lid on. It took place on Monday during the DNC LGBTQ caucus roundtable. One of their speakers began venting her frustration at much of society, and not just their political opponents. She even had harsh words for the mainstream Democrats. The topic on her mind was the failure of everyone else to be able to “imagine a world without the cops.” She also pictures a world without prisons, and ICE and basically any law enforcement. She also wants to know when we can expect real abolition. (?!) Here’s the video. You’ll want to turn on the sound for this one.


Here’s the transcript of the key portion of the commentary from Grabien.

....uh, because just maybe most non-democrat folks possess common sense? Just a wild ass guess.

Remember those old flicks about a world without law where people rode around in doonbuggie type vehicles shooting at each other?  Buildings were dust and rubble which was also all the "greenery" they had. I used to think those were some kind of crazily far fetched but I don't anymore, not if democrats continue winning.

Why can't folks imagine a world without cops?    Because of all the anarchists, looters, hooligans, thieves and assorted haters the Democrats excuse, rationalize and otherwise pimp for.

Blue lives matter.

[LMAO]

I’d rather imagine a world without criminals

It is easy to imagine a world without law enforcement, I just happen not to chose it...

It's easy to imagine a world without cops.  There are many artistic presentations of such a world available on video:  all three of the Mad Max movies, and HBO's Deadwood spring readily to mind. 

It's for lack of imagination, it's precisely because we can imagine a world without police that the idea of living in such a world is anathema to most people.
