    I’m trying to think in a way, any way, that you could spin this in to a positive thing.

    I can’t think of one. There is no way to make this look like a good thing for anyone except a very all group of people.

    So how do they sell this to their constituents?

      They believe that civilian boards and panels are made up of “woke” activists that want to screech at them and defund them. Since these panels aren’t as hardline conservative/fascist as they are, they’re “libtards” who shouldn’t have a say in these “conservative” matters.

        I love that thought since most people in the US are WAY more right than people in Europe.

    This part really got me:

    “You have review boards, that’s fine, but it’s got to be done in ways where you have the Sheriff or Chief of Police appointing people,” the governor said. “It can’t be people that have an agenda.”

    The Sheriff and the Chief of Police are the very people who have an agenda. Of course DeSantis knows this. Sane people in Florida need to evacuate as soon as possible.

      No! That is exactly the power play. Policies like this are intended to move liberal voters out of swing states. You know, the ones that sway the elections. They want the swing states to be red states.

        Those that want to suffer for the sake of the Democratic party may stay.

    That’s RIGHT! Nothing says Protect The Children like allowing Police Officers to kill Children or wait outside of a Mass School Shooting while Children DIED with ZERO Consequences!
