No trucks, no stuff…

If 77% of truck drivers say they will  not deliver  to far-left cities with de-funded police departments.  If we could get them all to say that,   peace might be restored,   because even radicals like their stuff.    Even better,  can we get them to say they won’t deliver to any city with riots and looting,  even if law enforcement is still funded?  Could the truckers do that?   Oh,  yeah.  Trucking companies all have clauses in their contracts that they can not be forced to deliver due to weather events or civil unrest.   Many of the independent truckers either haul under a company’s contract,  or have their own contracts with similar language,  which is standard under contract law.

As you are already aware,  far-left cities with funded law enforcement can still prevent police from doing their jobs or make them afraid to do so –  the Ferguson effect,  if you will.   You should also remember that  the unions  and progressive Democrats are as thick as thieves,  so it is almost impossible to get rid of the few bad cops.   That is by design on both the union’s and the politicians’ parts.   Unions get to beat their collective chests and claim to be sticking up for their members,  and the politicians whine that they have to follow the procedure.   Bear in mind that they agreed to the very procedures and processes  they claim so hinders them in their pursuit of good governance.

Truckers for the Constitution…

These guys ought to make Wednesday a  very interesting  traffic day in the District of Columbia.
