Harvard professor Cornel West and Civil Rights attorney Leo Terrell both took to Sean Hannity last night to debate the idea of defunding the police at a time when riots and looting are widespread across the United States. From the second the debate started, it was clear there was going to be fireworks.
“Do you support this madness of defunding the police?” Hannity asked West, to start.
“This has been a very heavy day for many of us,” West said, dodging the question and alluding to George Floyd’s funeral.
West, whose audio quality made him difficult to hear, continued: “You have to have police who respect the community, there has to be some community control, accountability of both citizens and police and recognizing that the deeper issue of poverty, dilapidated schools, housing…that generates a despair. But there has to be democratic control over the police.”
But it was when Sean Hannity asked Leo Terrell about why liberal politicians in their cities can’t stop the violence that things became heated. “Why didn’t he fix the violence? Why haven’t they fixed our broken school systems? We have failed America’s children,” Hannity asked.
Terrell said West was giving Hannity “old talking points”. Then, he addressed West directly: “I will speak to you, black man to a black man. There is looting going on, and you tried — it is my turn. You are trying to conflate protesting and police misconduct. And shame on you. You are absolutely wrong.”
He continued, telling West: “You won’t address the issue. You refuse to address the issue.”
“You disrespect me the day that Brother Floyd is put in his grave?! Who do you think you are?!” West responded. “Are you a Christian? Are you a Christian too? Then check yo’ self, negro!”
Terrell responed: “Oh, my God. You have lost control. You are a dinosaur. You have lost it, sir. I am not part of your group. I am not part of your group. You have lost it, you are a dinosaur. You are wrong.”
Terrell then said to Hannity: “You asked him a very simple question: he won’t say he’s not in favor of defunding the police because he is in favor of it.” The “debate” ended with Terrell asking Fox News to cut West’s microphone repeatedly.

Defund Harvard. Then burn it down.
I would love to see The Race Riot engulf Cambridge, Mass.
The best and brightest of that place especially have been the well renumerated architects and engineers of the madness that is Liberal Progressive Marxism and Trotskyitism.
They should get to enjoy the all vile fruit of it.
And get to kiss a Negro terrorist’s foot as a bonus humiliation.
Yes, the sooner Sodom and Gomorrah on the Charles are turned into smoking craters the better.
I’m fine with defunding the cops, but not for any of the reasons given by the BLM clowns.
Protect the library before the illiterates burn it down! Same goes for classical (pre-20th century) works of art. STEM studies labs, etc., should also be protected. The rest of it… Let the ashes fall where they may.
Any city that wants to defund the police ought to do so. Use the old police budget to buy a firearm and ammunition for every man, woman, and responsible child. Wait six weeks. Problem solved!
NO cops; no guns; no law enforcement – just the very pandemonium they seek.
Watching this darkie discourse, I was kind of expecting to hear a vicious riposte of:
“Nigga, please!”
One word Mr. West.
Invisalign.

Ahhhh, truly a brilliant mind.
No cops = no law. Then we make our own law. Shall we do this? Those Antifa assholes might regret it.
unfortunately cliffie,
the antifa aholes would love having no cops,at least in the cities where tptb aren’t sympathetic to them–
violence would be so out of control that the average idiot would be begging 4 protection,which would be the excuse 4 left wing authoritarians to move in–
There are certainly higher laws already on the books and waiting to be followed.
Without the police we can begin to educate the people who mistakenly help the PTB . Education is a wonderful thing.

Democrats unanimously support the rioters and terrorists who looted, destroyed businesses, hurt and killed people, and burned their cities.
Why would any Democrat, Progressive or Liberal vote against the very people – politicians & civil servants- who let the vibrancy continue and then grovel before the thugs?
Isn’t that they were hired for? TO turn over the cities to the hordes of jungle vermin , Antifa, and the progtarded? Defund, dismantle, and have no police or public safety?
Ask Minneapolis mayor Jacob ” Yellow Stain- Yellow Star” Frey – he’s happy to oblige the fucking animals, as is Coonman Northam.
Those two morons will be re-elected if the their jurisdictions know what is good for them!
Politicks, like maff, is both very hard and confusing.
Petty obvious that negros need to be eradicated,,,
