77% of truck drivers say they will not deliver to far left cities with defunded police departments.Nor should they.Truck driving is a dangerous profession.Far left mayors and violent rioters make it deadly. Here’s a scene from a “peaceful protest” last week that did not end well for the trucker. The mob yanked him from his cab and beat him senseless.(Tweet/Video) Via CD Life: As cities across the country are discussing defunding or disbanding their police departments, truck drivers are voicing concerns of safety.

It won't really matter, because cities with no cops will VERY quickly have no commerce of any kind.

Sorry for the double but it just occurred to me. The vegan snacks will be delivered by the ELECTRIC truck drivers.

Uh Oh! No Soy for the Soy Boys of Antifa! This is a major crisis! What to do? I'm sure the sweet young boy Mayor of Minneapolis will have this covered! Sending out fleets of Eco Friendly cars to purchase Soy and Vegan meals for...well...himself and other wealthy Minneapolis residents... Can't wait for the next election! Might even get a conservative on the city council??? No? Naw...sigh...

It won’t be long before Biden’s handlers have him giving pre-recorded talks and speeches to the affect that President Trump covertly got all the “deplorable” truck drivers to essentially create so-called “Food Deserts” in the areas known as inner city Black “communities”.

Good.
And even though they won't announce it (from fear of the "woke" rioters), I'm sure most businesses in those cities will be shutting down too. What choice will they have, since you can't make a profit if you are being robbed blind on a daily basis???
No goods and services. No jobs. No tax base. No security or order. Just lots of violence and destruction. Yeah, it sounds like a lie-beral Utopia!!!

Every coin has two sides. I'm on the side with the truckers. Who would have ever thought being a trucker was a dangerous job...on, maybe the mafia and the new breed of anti-merican thugs, I am sickened by this.

The law of unintended consequences being played out here... these morons today can't think rationally because they let their emotions, not mentality run their brains. Being impulsive is not always wrong, but it's terrible when you're also stupid.
Like the dog finally catching the car on the road, these Antifa/BLM dolts never figured out that conquest requires careful planning and logistics. I'd venture to say that none of these CHAZ residents had any military training.

Being that in many cases the vans truckers use serve as both a domicile and an office, I certainly don’t blame them for not wanting to put their entire life's investment in jeopardy.

Central Park in New York City would be a pretty good place to plow up for communal veggie gardens. They'd better get to it though because winter ... it's a com'in.

An idea whose time has come. Boycott Sanctuary/socialist cities. Cut them off from transportation, communication, power, water, food, fuel.

These "police free cities" will very quickly discover that hugs in charge isn't all it is cracked up to be.
Things will be anarchy soon enough, and they will be desperate to have the police back.

When does self defense come in when an angry mob surrounds your truck, starts pounding on the truck, tries to pull you out to beat the snot out of you? Wouldn't self defense be allowed for a driver to step on the gas, and run these animals over to escape being possibly killed?

Start with the gasoline tank truck drivers suspending deliveries. Then have food delivery drivers refuse to drive. Then have the coal trains cease delivering coal to the power plants. Close down internet and phone services. Send the cities dim leadership back to the stone age.

Good for the truckers. The protesters are their own worst enemy.

I don't feel I live near a dangerous city, but I take protection with me everywhere now. These situations can flare up in a minute and I don't want to be stuck in a traffic jam caused by the 'peaceful protestors'
Hard to conceal in Florida clothes, though.

What do these folks do with their garbage ? You need truckers.
When the snow comes, who will plow? You need truckers.
Truckers are the backbone of this country. They need to be protected.

I was talking just last night to a man who has two restaraunts. One is in downtown Portland and the other across the river. The foodservice driver refused to deliver to the downtown site and delivered two orders to the unaffected store.

Im sure that somewhere a leftist politician is writing legislation mandating deliveries at the risk of loosing their licenses. If you wont do it voluntarily or for money, some socialist will happily force you to do it at the end of a gun.

Poster #15- Do you think these basement dwelling mommas boys and girls know how to garden or would ever take a chance of breaking a nail working the soil? Gardens are work, and they don't have the staff to do their gardening, like the Mooch did. If they ever did manage to grow something, who's going to prepare it for them?

Do the residents who chose to riot in their own neighborhood in Minneapolis really believe that AutoZone, and Safeway and local banks want to continue to serve their increasingly dangerous neighborhood?
People who live in dangerous neighborhoods complain that their neighborhoods lack services. They´re food deserts because Safeway doesn´t want the hassle of operating stores there. They´re "underserved" by banks, which sensibly don´t want to handle large amounts of cash there. They, and other merchants, simply don´t want to take the risk having their stores burned to the ground by mobs as lefty mayors dump on the cops. They don´t want to deal with constant "inventory shrinkage." They don´t want themselves and their employees to be robbed at gunpoint.
It´s tragic, of course, and law-abiding residents are the real victims of thuggery in their neiborhoods. Race baiters NEVER mention these things. Serious black community leaders DO talk about these behaviors because they HAVE to; they represent law-abiding victims who are preyed upon by thugs. Black church leaders are willing to talk about bad behaviors in their midst, and God bless them for it!!
Rudy Giuliani and William Bratton and Bernard Kerik and Ray Kelly showed America how to carry out effective policing. To the extent they restrain excellent police office officers and advocate dissolving police departments, left-wing nuts on city councils and fruitcake mayors have blood on their hands. The police need the support of the people whom they serve!! Vilification of the police is outrageous. (Yes, there are instances of misconduct, but that´s not the norm.) American cities need to police themselves in the way that New York City officials showed us.

Watch the video of demonrat funded feral animals in action. The truck driver should have just mowed them all down and continued on his way.

Some truckers and delivery people already had problems guarding their trucks during delivery. Can't leave the back unlocked in the ghetto or it will be empty. I see their problem but innocent people who can't move will suffer the most. Perhaps Amazon can deliver by drone to soy boys.
