Musicians have always expressed their personal views on politics which haven’t gone well with their fans sometimes.
One such example is System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan, who has continued to air his views online.
This time he has called the movement to defund police departments, calling it “probably the stupidest thing that I’ve heard.”
Here’s what he said:
“I think that the movement to defund police is probably the stupidest thing that I’ve heard.”
“And I am a little bit tired of politicians and famous people saying that they think people wanna hear and apologizing for things that they mean when they don’t really wanna apologize.”
“We have an incredible system of government here in the United States, a lot of checks and balances. I’m proud to be a part of that as an immigrant who came over here … and worked my way up, and was fortunate in a lot of ways, but worked very hard to get to where I am at.”
