"Defund the police" doesn't necessarily mean "get rid of them", but more "lower their resources and narrow their field of responsibility" and then redirect that money towards "softer" crisis, where de-escalation and counseling would be a more proper response. They could still exist as a response to serious violence. They just wouldn't be responding to every single 911 call. So, like who? Medical people for people on drugs? Those people tend to by violent. Breaking up a first fight? Those people tend to by violent. Stopping a man from assaulting his wife and kids? Yeah, child services are doing a real bang up job, despite them always getting more and more money every year. I totally get your ideal, just not the logic. I agree that a lot of these crimes should be decriminalized, but then that just makes more and more people do them. --- https://i.imgtc.com/hQ5SuG6.gif https://i.imgtc.com/QrhAq36.gif https://i.imgtc.com/Yjov9DU.gif <cite>Bad_Mojo posted [p:940365349] in Defunding ...
