Summary
Following wide spread protests progressive Democrats seized upon the fervor and called for disbanding, defunding, oreven outright abolishing the police.
Somehow Democrats managed to turn an advantage into a disadvantage that Republicans have immediately used in their favor.
While most people do believe in some kind of police reform almost no one wants to see the police be totally abolished, that is a ridiculous proposal.
But right now Trump is falling in the polls, betting odds have begun to favor Biden, so why would Democrats offer up such a lovely gift?
If any group of people wants to see Democrats openly embrace "abolish the police" as a campaign promise it would be Trump supporters who know that regular Americans are freaking out, jumping on 2A, and looking for law and order.

| 0:00.0 | the overwhelming majority of Americans from white to black Latino or otherwise. Do not want to see |
| 0:07.1 | the police abolished, let alone even defunded. In fact, many want to see the amount of police |
| 0:13.6 | increased. Yet somehow we still have many Democrats calling for disbanding defunding or outright |
| 0:21.2 | abolishing the police. On Twitter, a prominent phrase that's popping up among many left-wing |
| 0:28.0 | journalists is the quote abolish the police. Among some Democrats and many activists, it's defund |
| 0:33.8 | or disband. In fact, in Minneapolis, the city council is discussing whether or not they should |
| 0:39.3 | just outright disband their police department with the most prominent Democrat being Ilhan Omar, |
| 0:45.0 | and this is freaking people out. People don't want this, so I can't help but wonder how it is. |
| 0:52.0 | The Democrats get a hold of something they can actually use coming into November, |
| 0:57.3 | and they just shred it to pieces. I have to wonder if everything they're doing is on purpose, |
| 1:03.2 | and if they really are just trying to get Donald Trump reelected. Republicans are seizing on the |
| 1:10.4 | latest statements from Democrats to disband police, and it's going to work. Many pollsters seem to |
| 1:16.0 | think so. This story from the Hill, the National Republican Congressional Committee turns up |
| 1:20.7 | heat-unvolvable Democrats over Omar's call to abolish police. You see, when George Floyd lost |
| 1:27.0 | his life, it was a shock to most Americans, and I mean almost every single one. We saw Sean Hannity |
| 1:33.6 | and Rush Limbaugh both coming out saying this was a disgrace. There was unity in support for some |
| 1:40.2 | kind of reform and justice to be had, but these activists took things too far and are now adopting a |
| 1:47.2 | fringe position that very few people actually want, and they're pitting themselves against their |
| 1:52.8 | own Democratic leadership, which by the way has been controlling many of these cities and hasn't |
| 1:57.6 | seemed to work out. So I'll tell you this. What we're seeing here, I think explains exactly why |
| 2:03.3 | Democratic leadership in many cities has failed. They keep bending over for the fringe |
| 2:08.8 | activists instead of actually implementing sound policies, which could help make things better. |
