CNN: Would you be okay with people who were convicted of hurting police, getting taxpayer money?

Blanche: Just to be clear, people that hurt police get money all the time.

3. The Reich Wing believes that anyone who files a complaint against an authoritative asshole cop

Is "hurting" the police.
Reporting and suing for justice against criminal activity done by "bad cops" - extortion, theft, false imprisonment or unprovoked assault or murder being conducted under the cover of "law" is harming all the "good cops" out there.
So yeah, people are getting money "hurting" police all the time.
Even though it's only supposed to be a few bad apples out there.
Blanche is a hypocritical, lying, criminal gang enforcement "lawyer", parsing words to cover the corruption and rot he represents.

and insulting comparisons between the Capitol Insurrection riot and Black Lives Matter protests.

That's what Blanche is talking about. He's blowing his White Supremacy dog whistle for his White Supremacy "reparation" fund.

a BOUNTY. Paid to Trump supporting actors and militias running about doing whatever the fk they want.

But if you're against them, you're a "domestic terrorist" and an "anarchist."
