Black Lives Matter seemed to have learned a lot about political expediency Tuesday night. During his State of the Union speech, President Joe Biden urged funding of the nation’s police departments.
Biden stated, “We should all agree: The answer is not to defund the police. The answer is to FUND the police with the resources and training they need to protect our communities.”
You could almost hear the air being let out of the far-left’s balloon.
But if you didn’t, they were happy to let you know about it:

“Like It Never Even Happened”
In an amazing reversal, Democrats cheered Biden’s call to fund police as if they had never heard of defunding the police. The Democrats cheered training and resources. These people are who and what did they do with the Democrat Party?
Vice President Kamala Harris, who urged people to contribute to the Minnesota Freedom bail fund – a fund that sought to free rioters during George Floyd demonstrations in 2020, was now popping up out of her seat to applaud funding police.

Police officers applauded by Democrats What’s changed?
Watch: President Biden won bipartisan applause during his first State of the Union address for saying the solution to protecting communities is not to defund the police, but to “fund the police” with resources and training #SOTU2022 https://t.co/jy4N0ipOt9 pic.twitter.com/jjJ3KRlKx6

Nothing has changed at Black Lives Matter. They made it clear that not everyone agrees with Biden’s call to fund the police:
No, @joebiden, we don’t “all agree.”
We still say #DefundThePoliceYou must hold the killer cops accountable.

Is it possible to fund police officers?
Biden is also dissatisfied by far-left leaders.
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) was perturbed that Biden had not once mentioned “saving black lives.”
She again demanded “defund.”
We are very sorry, Mr. You didn’t mention saving Black lives once in this speech.
Our country only gave more money to the police. It is now? It was the 2021 record year for police killings.
The police should be defunded. Make investments in your communities. https://t.co/t0n0EpHMwd

DeRay McKesson (Black Lives Matter) also stated that enough money is available for the police:
“fund the police” is not the answer.
they are already well funded & not accountable to anyone & their presence hasn’t led to community safety.

Elie Mystal, a MSNBC favourite of far-left MSNBC, decided to let the whole thing go.
“We don’t need to defund the police, we need to fund them… with resources and training”
It’s a bollock. It’s the truth. #SOTU

BLM supporter also used social media platforms to criticize Joe Biden.
Is Joe Biden gunna mention all the fake “black lives matter” campaign slogans he spit on?
But he’s not the only one who is cool.

Unfortunately, for Democrats, it is possible that some are catching onto the fact that they may not be in the best position to win in this midterm election.
Giving police more money can be a way to get rid of people who signed up for Dem after the Black Lives Matter protests.

As Democrats tried to quickly pivot the narrative in an election year, Republicans were quick to remind them of their massive hypocrisy.
Amazing. After two years of trying to discredit them, all Democrats applaud the funding of police officers.
— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) March 2, 2022
Republicans also extolled Democrats’ sudden heartfelt acceptance of exactly what they are.
Standing ovation from Democrats for police funding
Damn, you can really tell there’s an election coming.

Some believed they could have spotted a pattern of thought in Democrat thought.
Democrats were against defunding the police but they supported funding it.
— Steve Moyer (@Steven_Moyer) March 2, 2022
But as we all watch Democrats applaud Joe Biden wanting to fund the police, let’s all keep in mind the last two years. It’s amazing what an election in the future can accomplish.
Democrats claim they don’t support Defunding the Police.
