Lost, I almost agree with fish from this perspective. BLM can basically order the city Council to buy a simulator to meet their needs of de-escalation and interaction training. I think what he is saying is let them make the mandate, let BLM force the issue. If that is what he saying,I actually like it because there is going to be tons of federal money available if Congress can ever get off their asses and do something productive.
Lost: BLM is the opposite of what VirTra needs, when they say "Defund the Police" they literally mean get rid of the police. Of course, 100% of the time any city has pulled back police it has resulted in more crime and more death. More blacks will die if police are defunded - they could care less about black lives. They simply using the historical injustices against blacks to push forward their Marxist agenda and their "it takes a village" philosophy. It takes the village idiot to actually believe that philosophy works.
