Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address took place the other night and I’ve talked about it a couple times already, but I haven’t talked about this element of it which I thought was really strange actually.

During the speech, Biden publicly spit in the faces of Democrats, especially those who are members of “the Squad”, who have been calling to defund the police.

Instead, Biden said, “We should all agree: The answer is not to defund the police. It’s to fund the police. Fund them. Fund them! Fund them with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.”

When I was listening to the State of the Union Address the other night, I thought the same thing when he made those remarks because I know better than that.

The Democrats have been calling to defund the police since 2020 and Joe Biden maybe the part of his platform because he wanted to placate the left so that they would vote for him.

Greg Gutfeld caught this as well and ripped into Biden:

“He says that after — you know, I gotta — I’m not going to let the media strategy of contrasting the Squad with Joe Biden to somehow reconstitute the myth of his moderation, right?”

“You gotta give credit to the Squad, because they are stupid, they’re wrong, they’re unforgivable, but at least they are consistent to their principles,” Gutfeld continued. “This jackass was — didn’t do a thing when cops were being killed. When businesses were being burned, he hid in his basement. And only when it became politically expedient, when he was worried about losing an election, and now when an election is coming up, now all of a sudden he is backing the blue? Because he felt it was better, at the time, right, to embrace the woke orthodoxy that put BLM above law enforcement. That’s what he did.”

I’m just going to be honest. The answer is not to defund the police. The answer is not to fund them more. The answer is to give them better training on how to deal with people because I’ve seen countless videos and I mean countless videos of officers who are just disrespectful and treat people like garbage. I’ve seen them get arrested for no reason because they don’t understand the law. I’ve seen them get arrested because they just want to be jerks. And I’ve seen them escalate a situation that didn’t need to be escalated.

Gutfeld went on to rip into him some more,

“So, I’m sorry, when I see CNN’s recently-purchased conservatives, you know those principled few, supporting — ‘Oh, isn’t this great? Look at him! Such a good thing!’ You’re an idiot, because this guy was nowhere to be found.”

“Lastly, the thing that gets me crazy is I know a lot of people are pissed off about these two Republicans that heckled,” Gutfeld concluded, referencing Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

“That’s nothing compared to this cosplay that you see — the stand up and applaud, the sit down. No matter how stupid Biden says something, people have to applaud. This is kabuki applause-line theater, right? And we are expected as idiot Americans to go, ‘Oh, wow, everything coming out of his mouth is somehow majestic and moral and meaningful.’ Of course not! And by the way, both sides do this, right, but for some reason, it is more disgusting. Heckling is bad, but heckling is real. What we watched there was fake. And for anybody applauding him supporting law enforcement, you’re an idiot. Sorry.”

One of my biggest problems that I have with the way that police officers interact with others is in a sense of intimidation and giving them ultimatums with short periods of time to react. When people don’t have time to process and evaluate and react to a situation and then police just start doing something immediately it can cause problems.

If you want a perfect example of officers doing the right thing versus the wrong thing, I suggest watching some of the videos from Audit the Audit on YouTube. In these videos you’ll see officers acting the right way and the wrong way. At the same time, you’ll see citizens acting the right way and the wrong way as well. At the end of the videos, the narrator grades them on how well they understood the law and acted accordingly.
