[NYPOST] Moderate and swing-district Democrats are squirming with the aggressive return of the Defund the Police rhetoric following the death of Daunte Wright at the hands of a Minnesota cop.

"There is always room for reforms and to do better, but defunding the police makes no sense," New Jersey Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer told The Post. "I think more investment and training should be put in, things like cameras are something that law enforcement supports. But the idea that we should gut budgets for the sake of it is absurd."

Gottheimer added that Democrats he knows in Congress support law enforcement and were "grateful" for their service.

Over the last week progressive politicians from safe districts have swung for the fences on the issue. "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib has led the charge. "No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can’t be reformed," she said in a tweet Monday.

On Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez

Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore...
chimed in: "Cameras, chokehold bans, retraining funds, and similar reform measures do not ultimately solve what is a systemic problem."

4 Please please PLEASE, keep talking about this all the way into 2022 and 2024.

That talk will cease by mid-May of both years. The Dems are somewhat smart about hiding their true designs.
