Radical-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is demanding that America scraps its entire legal justice system, arguing that "policing" and "incarceration" must be abolished because they "can't be reformed."
The Democrat congresswoman was widely slammed online on Monday after she made the far-left proposal, arguably the most extreme of any notable public figure over the last year.
Tlaib made the calls in response to the shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
Wright was shot on Sunday afternoon as he attempted to escape from police officers who pulled him over because of expired license plate tags.
Wright had a warrant out for his arrest for a weapons charge and for previously running from police.
Police later revealed that the officer shot Wright "accidentally" as she thought she was using her taser.

"It wasn’t an accident," Tlaib said on Twitter, without evidence.
"Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist,” the lawmaker continued.
"Daunte Wright was met with aggression & violence.
"I am done with those who condone government funded murder.
"No more policing, incarceration, and militarization.
"It can’t be reformed.”

No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be reformed.
Tlaib was widely slammed online by people who called the proposal insane and who noted that the “no more policing” slogan would be a killer for the Democrats in the upcoming 2022.

“Two months ago, Rep. Tlaib explained how the FBI came to her aid to protect her from death threats,” progressive Zaid Jilani tweeted.
“Do lawmakers who have the best security in America have any concern for people who lack such privileges?”

“‘No more policing’? Ok,” Bob Woodson, founder of the Woodson Center, tweeted.
“All politicians who want to defund & eliminate the police should lead by example & start with their own security detail, personal neighborhoods, & gov’t offices.
"Give up your protection…”

"But ‘no more policing or incarceration’ is just what conservatives have been begging for someone like her to be foolish enough to declare.”

Daily Caller writer David Hookstead tweeted: “The same people trying to take your guns away are openly calling for the police to be disbanded and for criminals to run free.

Dana Loesch mocked the proposal, calling it the “United States of CHAZ,” a reference to the zones set up by far-left activists last summer where they essentially pretended to have their own area of governance.
