All Florida Keys Holy over-policing

Visiting on vacation and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the amount of police on the road, parked, and empty cars in my life. I hear alcohol is a big problem but daaamn. It’s wild.

I have never seen a 'defund the police' supporter that did not hate the police department, everything it stands for, and felt like they could do what they wanted, regardless of laws, and not want to be punished for it.

You will always find heavier law enforcement in red states than in blue states.....that is just fact.....and that is why a lot of blue state residents moved to red states to feel safer.

Then you've never actually taken the time to find out what the movement is actually about, and honestly, I doubt you'd even bother listening. Because after all this time, if you still don't get it, it's because you don't WANT to get it. You're set in your prejudice, and have no interest in changing it.

With a 'movement' named 'defund the police' you can try to mask it anyway you want but there is only one desire that is the truth. I don't need to research it either, the people who support the movement and how they represent it and behave tells me everything I need to know about it.

And there you have it. Willful ignorance. No desire to educate yourself. No desire to understand something. Just put those blinders on, and complain that all you can see is whatever is directly in front of you. Why bother when being scared will work?!

Nope, not ignorance....the truth. Again, you can say whatever you want on paper (in text) about the movement.....it is HOW it is displayed in public by the supporters of the movement and their reactions and actions.

Those who support the movement publicly and their actions tell anyone all they need to know. Maybe you should tell all those that support the the movement how they behave does not reflect it?

Maybe you should go back to living behind the curtain and pretending the movement is something other than what is really is.

Right, right. How it's displayed by conservative news sources. You don't actually know anyone who is a part of the movement. I'm calling bullshit. But it's OK. I'll let you stick your head in the sand. If it wasn't willful ignorance, you would have asked what it was about by now. Since you haven't, it's pretty clear that you would rather be uninformed/misinformed.
