Tarlov: Defunding the Police Isn’t a Dem Party Position, Only a Few Outliers Talked About It

RUSH EXCERPT:

TARLOV: “I think it’s fair to say there’s a national police morale problem. That they are nationally underpaid, that they are nationally mistreated in some circumstances, and we’ve covered a lot of stories like this. It it always sticks in my mind. Remember the police officer who broke up the fight between two young girls in Ohio and one of them ended up dying. And he saved the life of the other girl. But the initial reaction, there was a huge pile-on. It became a celebrity culture story, etc., was this was another instance of a white cop going after black people. And it wasn’t the truth at all. And I think that anyone who is being responsible about this knows that the vast majority of cops are in it for the right reasons. And they’re out there to protect and serve. They should be paid what they deserve. But I do think that the defund the police movement is being greatly exaggerated in terms of its — how much it’s permeated the Democratic Party. This is not the position of the party. There were a few outliars that were talking about it like the cory bushes of the world and cortez but Joe Biden has never said anything like that.”
