White progressive social justice warriors are in shock.
They are going all out promoting the defunding of police while Blacks and Latinos do not want that to happen.
The progressive elected Democrats in Congress, except for The Squad are treading lightly on the subject or they don’t approve at all.
Many Blacks and Latinos live in high crime areas in the inner city and the police are their only protection.
Democrats are worried about the minority voters since, in the presidential elections in 2016 and 2020, President Trump made gains among Black and Latino voters despite the media and Democrats trying to paint him as a racist.
They already have lost support among Latinos who live along the Mexican border and it is expected they will lose many more because of Biden’s open border policy.
This could spell real trouble as they try to hold on to the House.
In a contest that centered on crime and public safety, Eric Adams, who emerged as the leading Democrat, focused much of his message on denouncing progressive slogans and policies that he said threatened the lives of “Black and brown babies” and were being pushed by “a lot of young, white, affluent people.” A retired police captain and Brooklyn’s borough president, he rejected calls to defund the Police Department and pledged to expand its reach in the city.
Black and brown voters in Brooklyn and the Bronx flocked to his candidacy, awarding Mr. Adams with sizable leading margins in neighborhoods from Eastchester to East New York. Though the official winner may not be known for weeks because of the city’s new ranked-choice voting system, Mr. Adams holds a commanding edge in the race that will be difficult for his rivals to overcome.
The NYT got it right. Adams is all but a shoo-in to become mayor of NYC because he is a law and order kind of guy and after two terms of soft on crime Bill De Blasio, they want a real change. The only Blacks who support funding the police are the BLM rioters and you can understand why they don’t want any police who might stop their looting and burning of buildings. But, the vast majority of Blacks welcome the police in their neighborhood.
