"Defund the police"? How many armed security guards does Spike Lee hire for protection?

[NewYork]

When you have to explain what your slogan means, it’s not an effect message.

[thedramallama]

This entire series is propagandist nonsense

[xfactor]

Cori Bush is one of the biggest hypocrites ever.

[AdheshRakshith]

Why doesn’t she defund her private security?

[XXX]

The problem is when you’re voted out what will you do then?

[tillydivine]

All lives matter stop trying to say only one race matters

[augustortiz]

Everyone in the documentary thinks New York is the center of everyones lives lol. The definition of smugness.

This documentary was compelling at first when it mostly centered on the pandemic & interviewed various healthcare workers, but then it took a sudden trajectory after that & I had no idea where this documentary was going.

It fell apart when Ron Kim, Bill de Blasio & other windbags came on just to use this documentary as a platform to air their grievances of how Cuomo was mean to them...

[JorgeSanchez-ptwe]

I can’t even finish watching this clip much less the actual thing..sorry but way too much propaganda.

[MKGamingByMunish]

And then The Squad let the capitol police funding increase...

“How can we use language to influence culture?”
Aka
How do we make our propaganda look pleasant to fool and hoodwink people? Jesus this garbage would be funny if it wasn’t taken seriously.

Fund Communities
Demilitarize Police
Require De-escalation Training for all LEOs

Very important tactic, very important message. As long as the conversation is sincere they are making very valid points.
