Well yeah, they want to defund the police.
Wonder why?
I thought everyone on here agreed that the cops are nothing more than agents of the tyrannical Deep State? Defunding the police is the right move, despite what some may say on here. Police are not friends for normal citizens, and they are violent arms of the state that are immune from consequences, doesn't matter what they do. That's not how it should be. I actually agree with the left on this issue. Being against police violence and the continued expansion of the police state is a good thing actually, rather than being a boot licking cop lover.
Defunding the police is a catch all.
What they're really saying is there should be no law and order because they've been discriminated against for so long.
Where has defunding the police actually worked? I mean yeah, it would work in palm springs. But it sure as shit doesn't work in Detroit.
By the way, stating that defunding the police is just a slogan, it doesn't mean I'm a bootlicker, but if you can't see there's a middle than I don't know what I can actually say to you that would make one bit if difference
We can't say where defunding the police has worked because it hasn't happened anywhere really. The militarized police state continues to exist. It could work in Detroit. How many tanks and shit does a local police agency actually need? I'd guess none. How often do you actually need a police officer to respond to a mental health crisis when a mental health expert would be better in 99% of instances? How many fancy toys actually increase the effectiveness of policing instead of just continuing to feed the military industrial complex?
These are options for getting rid of police power without affecting the ability of police to respond to crimes or home invasions or whatever else. And just because you believe BLM is actually after lawlessness doesn't mean defunding the militarized arm of the state is a bad idea at all.
yes I'm all for cutting out the militarization of police. Of course.
You have to have something in place when you cut out the police. Are we to lay down, and enforce, our own laws? That's cool with me. That inevitably turns into survival of the fittest. It'll be an anarchistic bloodbath.
