The problem is the monopolization of enforcement and the illegalization of self-defense.
If you're a gang banger on the offense, no problem. If you are a Trump Supporter who plows through some commies who are beating on your car, or you have to defend yourself against BLM/Antifa who are threatening you with weapons while they savage you, there will ALWAYS be just enough police on staff to come and arrest YOU! That's the problem......
We shouldn't be depending on police. If LEOs would just GTFO of the way and let the People handle these problems, we'd have it mopped up in no time.
the problem goes much higher than defunding the police. You have corrupt judges, prosecutors, governors,mayors, letting the criminals run rampent. back in the old west, you steal a horse you were hanging in a tree by sundown. People do not fear concequences of their actions. The old addage of crime doesnt pay doesn't hold water any more....Crime pays..simple economics..why is it most crooks (politicians) are millionaires while you work for peanuts....
City officials in my hometown of Louisville KY tried blaming covid19 lockdowns for the spike in crime (guess the party!) Last yr we had 173 homicides. LMPD Homicide Weekly Report We're already at 100 for the yr as of this past Sun and I'm sure they've added to that total since then.
Defunding the police isn't the problem.
