“All this stuff that they say, I’ve got to let them know, anti-police? No. I’m for police accountability, but law enforcement society cannot work and, quite frankly, law enforcement cannot do its job if it does not have a trusting relationship with the community,” Gillum said.

“At the time that a law enforcement official has to go to a weapon, to a gun, to a baton, to a taser, then they have already have to go too far by their very presence,” he continued. “By the very trust that they inspire in community and in society, they are supposed to be able to bring most situations to heel.”

Because kind, loving and softly-spoken words work so well in any given critical incident.

Let’s listen to Gillum:

Let us not forget this is the same Andrew Gillum referenced in an article from RealClearPolitics.com:

Gillum’s Anti-Law Enforcement Agenda for Florida

by Steve Hantler

The past several years have witnessed the radical left using law enforcement as a political target, which has increased the risks for those in uniform and hurt public safety.  Andrew Gillum, the so-called “democratic socialist” candidate for governor of Florida, represents the triumph of the progressive left’s approach to law enforcement, and a victory by him in November would lead to a statewide increase in crime.

That Florida would see such a rise under Gillum is not fanciful speculation but an obvious inference from his tenure as mayor of Tallahassee.  On his watch, the city/Leon County metro area has had the highest crime rate in the state for four years running.

Stop. Let’s read that again.

On his watch, the city/Leon County metro area has had the highest crime rate in the state for four years running.  Last year, Tallahassee had the highest number of murders in the city’s history. 

Then, in a wee bit of irony and what I can “schadenfreude,” there was this:

Incredibly, Gillum’s former chief of staff, Dustin Daniels, who is running to succeed him as mayor, is campaigning aggressively against Gillum’s failed leadership.  “Tallahassee had the highest number of murders in history last year,” Daniels wrote in a campaign mailer, “and we top the state for the highest crime rate. WE MUST DO BETTER.” 

Look, if you can’t sit on the bank of the river and watch the bodies of your enemy float serenely by, then what’s the point of any victory?

It is simply inarguable that Gillum has failed to keep the city of Tallahassee safe.    

Given his ideological radicalism, it is not surprising that he has failed so spectacularly.  In fact, Gillum is the most anti-law-enforcement candidate to be nominated by a major party in modern Florida history.

But wait; there’s more as BZ is wont to say.

Take, for example, his strong support for the radical group Dream Defenders.  During a Democratic gubernatorial primary debate, Gillum endorsed the agenda of the Dream Defenders from the stage, gushing that he was “pleased and proud” to “stand up for” and “stand beside” the group, which has, among other stances, likened Israel’s treatment of Palestinians to the apartheid system.

Gillum received the endorsement of the Dream Defenders and  promised to support the group’s manifesto, The Freedom Papers, which denounce law enforcement as “racist” and liken the police to “slave catchers.”  The manifesto calls for the abolishment of the police and prisons, asserting that “police and prisons have no place in ‘justice.’”  Accordingly, the Freedom Papers call for a radical reduction in law enforcement funding, demanding “reinvestment … into social services in our community.”   

I say to the state of Florida: if you want your state to be devoid of taxpayers and normal people, keep this up. Regular humans are fleeing the state if for no other reason that all of Florida’s animals seem to wish to kill humans — its snakes, alligators, constrictors and the like — and the weather exists to wipe everyone out.

This manifesto slanders all those in Florida who don the uniform to protect and serve their communities, which, of course, includes law enforcement personnel of all races, colors and creeds.  By sliming law enforcement as racist and by likening police officers to slave catchers, the Gillum-endorsed Freedom Papers place a target on the backs of officers.

What’s more, enacting the call for massive reductions in funding for law enforcement would virtually guarantee a crime wave in Florida.  Outside of Tallahassee, crime has dropped dramatically in the state over that past 20 years, yet this decline was achieved through hard work and support for law enforcement by elected officials.  Combining funding cuts with a governor who is antagonistic to law enforcement would spell disaster for the safety of Florida’s communities. 

Add that Andrew Gillum wants to kill you if you’re Conservative or a Caucasoid? Pull the ripcord. He’s not speaking to you Caspars. He’s speaking to followers of Ray Nagin.

Of course, Gillum not only supports the “abolish ICE” movement but would make Florida, like California, a sanctuary state.  He has pledged not to cooperate with the Trump administration regarding the removal of illegal aliens from the state, which will place the people of Florida at risk of criminal activity committed by illegal aliens who should have been removed from the United States.  This will only lead to the creation of more “angel moms” – mothers who have lost children to illegal alien crime.

Andrew Gillum is another in a continuing series of boring racist progressive Socialist yada yada yada black men who, well, hate Caucasoids but couch their ranguage in gutterspeak, pablumspeak, racespeak and simpspeak.

As opposed to perhaps some other Republicans, I’m not remotely interested in attempting to “reason” with Gillum or “reach across the aisle” to him.

Oh no. I’m here to demolish him and his ideologies.

There’s no reasoning with insanity and frothing sociopathic word bubbles.

Make no mistake. I couldn’t proffer one fresh, steaming turd about Gillum’s melanin count. I only care that he’s dangerously stupid and, frankly, insane.

Disarming law enforcement. Now there’s a great idea.

The LDAMM understand only one thing:

Power. Naked power.

Let’s show them that on November 6th.

This election is ours to lose, not theirs to win.

P.S.

Oh wait. With one tiny exception: the detail that protects Andrew Gillum himself. They’ll still be keeping their firearms and Tasers.
