I think the motive for defunding police might be to more easily usher in androids, and drones, as well as increased surveillance of everyone.
The Sheeple who can't flee the areas with no police will beg for technological solutions, and those solutions are ready to go.
Watch 10 videos on current android tech. watch another 10 on drones. Surveillance just requires a lot more camera. China has 100's of millions already.
Bingo I have basically been saying this. When safety is such an issue we will allow for things like remote controlled riot control stuff that uses microwaves to move people, they will claim it is to protect the police. It will keep going to the point people are willing to use their vaccine passport chips to open there apartments in the green towers. They will also say in order to block disinformation and domestic terrorist like white supremacist it is okay for them to blackout power to certain areas. They will say that we need credentials like our vaccine passports to access the internet and our cloud space It is heading there. Part of the great reset is the great pandemic. They Great economic crash. The great crime wave. The great environmental risk and disasters. And then the push to move forward in a more sustainable way.
