‘Defund the police’ activist complains the cops didn’t ‘do sh*t’ after she’s robbed of all she owns in San Francisco

Bell, who goes by the name Jerque Cousteau on X, initially posted a plea for help after the theft, writing, “If you see a 26 foot Uhaul truck with the Arizona plate AL50003- would you let me know because it had like everything I own on it.” The post garnered attention, with many mocking her due to her past of anti-police posts.

After filing a police report, Bell immediately criticized law enforcement for not finding her stolen belongings. In comments made to the New York Post, Bell said “I haven’t found my sh*t! The cops didn’t do sh*t! U-Haul made me file a f*cking police report!”

“There’s cameras all over this city. They haven’t done sh*t!... I just want my stuff back,” she added.

Critics quickly seized on the apparent irony of her situation, pointing out her history of defund-the-police rhetoric. Bell, whose bio on X reads “will respond to all bad faith arguments w/ad hominem attacks,” responded to the backlash by insisting she had not personally called the police. She also doubled down on her defund the police efforts, sharing more posts that promote police abolition.

Bell also broadly criticized the accounts that mocked her online and accused her of hypocrisy, saying, “Look at these good, Christian ‘victim advocates’ celebrating my kids losing their belongings at Christmas.”

U-Haul’s customer support account urged her to cooperate with authorities, saying, “Please be sure to contact us back to provide the police report to the Equipment Recovery department.”
