The Liberty Loft
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), a member of the radical left-wing “Squad,” has been one of the Democratic Party’s most vocal critics of law enforcement. She has called for an end to policing and incarceration in America. The country’s police force, she has argued, is an “inherently and intentionally racist” institution that condones “government-funded murder” and “can’t be reformed.”
Alas, the congresswoman’s allies in the movement to abolish the police and empty federal prisons will be outraged to learn that Tlaib recently snitched to the Detroit Police Department after checking her home security system and seeing that an individual fleeing the cops was hiding in her trash can.
“The congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib, happened to look at her monitoring system and saw the guy in her backyard,” one of her neighbors told the local Fox affiliate in Detroit. “So once we found out where he was located, she called us back and told us where he was and we relayed that information to the police.”
The male suspect ended up in Tlaib’s yard after leading police on a high-speed chase after witnesses reported an attempted kidnapping. A woman was also found hiding in a trashcan several houses down. The pair sped off in an SUV after police orchestrated a traffic stop. Perhaps they shared Tlaib’s view that police officers are irredeemably violent and did not wish to become victims of “government-funded murder.”
