Democrat Rashida Tlaib Goes Extreme: ‘No More Policing’ And ‘Incarceration,’ ‘It Can’t Be Reformed’

Conservative News DailyApril 12, 2021

Far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was widely slammed online on Monday after she made arguably the most extreme far-left proposal of any notable public figure over the last year, calling for there to be “no more policing” and “incarceration” because the system “can’t be reformed.”

Tlaib’s remarks came after 20-year-old Daunte Wright was shot as he attempted to run from police who pulled him over on Sunday over expired license plate tags. Wright had a warrant out for his arrest for running from police and for a weapons charge. Police later said that the officer who shot Wright thought she was using her taser.

“It wasn’t an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist,” Tlaib said. “Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder. No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed.”

Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence. I am done with those who condone government funded murder.

No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed.

Tlaib was widely slammed online by people who called the proposal insane and who noted that the “no more policing” slogan would be a killer for the Democrats in the upcoming 2022.

“Two months ago, Rep. Tlaib explained how the FBI came to her aid to protect her from death threats,” progressive Zaid Jilani tweeted. “Do lawmakers who have the best security in America have any concern for people who lack such privileges?”

Hot Air writer Allah Pundit sarcastically commented, “‘no more policing’ sounds like a fine slogan for 2022.”

“‘No more policing’? Ok,” Bob Woodson, founder of the Woodson Center, tweeted. “All politicians who want to defund & eliminate the police should lead by example & start with their own security detail, personal neighborhoods, & gov’t offices. Give up your protection…”

“No more policing”?

Ok. All politicians who want to defund & eliminate the police should lead by example & start with their own security detail, personal neighborhoods, & gov’t offices.

Give up your protection… https://t.co/Y94yDtJYjJ

Conservative commentator Pradheep Shanker tweeted: “This police officer was criminally negligent, etc. But no group would be harmed more by the idiotic ranting policies of @RashidaTlaib than minorities.”

A National Review podcaster tweeted: “I’m not sure if she was drunk when she wrote this or the social media intern was drunk. But ‘no more policing or incarceration’ is just what conservatives have been begging for someone like her to be foolish enough to declare.”
