If you're going to make an argument, make an argument. I'm not going to play 20 questions.

We literally had a local gubernatorial candidate (the sister of MDP) who ran on “reallocating police finding” among other things like ending qualified immunity...

“I don’t recall” is what crooks say when they don’t want to incriminate themselves… in this case you used it because you’re either ignorant or being deliberately obtuse although I suppose they aren’t mutually exclusive.

Again, if you're going to make an argument, be clear about what you're arguing about.

I haven't heard of anyone named Princess Blanding and I'm not going to Google it because you're saying it as an obvious partisan dog whistle.

I can't discuss something that happened if I don't know what you're talking about.

I know there were people saying "defund the police," and I also know most people didn't take that literally or completely seriously. Who said what about it when went right past be because I knew it was another bullshit slogan meant to manipulate people's emotions.

No, I'm not. Are you context averse?

The comment you initially replied to said

"... isn't this what richmond wanted?"

to which you replied

"I don't recall anyone calling for legislation to defund the police"

to which I replied

"not familiar with princess blanding's campaign platform?"

Princess Blanding is the sister of Marcus David Peters the man who was shot dead while naked by RPD when having a mental health episode. Lee Circle was renamed after him during the BLM protests in Richmond. Princess, ** a Richmond local**, RAN FOR GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA and was exceedingly popular amongst the BLM/ACAB/Defund The Police movement because of her criminal justice reform platform.

So yes, this is kind of what [some of] Richmond wanted.

Don't project your own partisan bullshit onto me just because I'm informed enough, and honest enough, to not lie about the fact that there 100% were calls to "defund the police" among people campaigning for the highest levels of the city and state government

If you honestly didn't know that or don't know who princess blanding is and don't care to educate yourself because you think anyone who brings that up is blowing a partisan dog whistle than I think you are far more ignorant than I initially suspect and most likely the person with the brainwashed partison-ideology

I looked up Princess Blanding and remembered seeing something about her one time. I saw her campaign website and immediately dismissed her as unrealistic and I didn't take her candidacy seriously at all.

Which is why I couldn't recall her.

Which bill was put forth to defund the police?
