Al Sharpton: Defunding police is something ‘a latte liberal' may like, but ‘proper policing’ is necessary

MSNBC’s Al Sharpton said Tuesday that defunding the NYPD is something “a latte liberal' may support, but “people living on the ground need proper policing.”

“Morning Joe” namesake Joe Scarborough asked Sharpton about the crime in his native New York City, which has seen a surge in shootings during the coronavirus pandemic.

Scarborough brought up the “defund the police” movement – which demonstrators have been calling for across the country, since the death of George Floyd in police custody in late May – noting that some feel it would largely impact minorities and people in already unsafe neighborhoods.

“We need to re-imagine how we do policing, but ... to take all policing off is something a latte liberal may go for as they sit around the Hamptons discussing this as an academic problem. But people living on the ground need proper policing,” Sharpton said.

MSNBC should be ashamed to be associated with such a blatant racist, he insights more infighting and flames every subject and person with a real heart. How about making him pay his taxes for a start!

Its a help monger for the extreme left for votes for Hiden.I remember back in the 80,s when he was a real fat loud mouth he protested across the Brooklyn bridge in demand that more blacks need to own Gasoline Service stations. He was full of $hit then and almost 40 years later he is still full of $hit.

Nah, the dude is afraid he won’t have protection. He knows they will turn on him like the dog after a rabbit. He needs someone to call for help.....pole...lease. He may get the peace prize they are dangling over the good president, for his concern in humanity.

Yeah he knows if there is no more police to protect his ass then he's going to have to hire private security. Also if all their demands are met and no police to have "police brutality" marches he loses a pay check. What a worthless POS.

When there are no police then we are on our own. 2a becomes the law of the land. Justice will be delivered at the end of a gun. Again we would end up a 3rd world country.
