OPINION:
The political left wants police reform, starting with defunding. But before we begin that discussion we need to take a look at the representatives on the left.
If they came to Washington to do their job representing all of the people, we likely wouldn’t be having a discussion about police. If we are going to defund things we don’t like and call that a solution then we need to stop paying the obstructionists on the left. The latest such obstruction has House Speaker Pelosi advising presidential candidate Joe Biden not to debate President Trump. If Mrs.Pelosi’s agenda includes simply not doing things, why are we paying her? Just exactly who is she representing? Does this supposed leader even have any coherent thoughts of her own?
Congress has proven to be enormously counterproductive, and it’s the leadership of the left that is responsible. A person of character would not stand idly by and allow the conduct we are currently seeing within the chambers.
So if we are defunding anything we should start with the salaries of non-compliant members of Congress.
