Topic	House Dems: Socialism and defund police are "Losing Issues"
CableZL 11/06/20 3:51:38 PM #45:	Tyranthraxus posted... You're not "taking money away from the police" The police exist to deal with problems. If you can fix the problem some other way, then you can reduce the police budget without impacting the other expenses the police have because they no longer have to deal with some s*. For example, a little hyperbolic here but if all drugs were just legal the amount of money the police spend on conducting drug busts now drops to $0 which frees up that money to be spent on other things (such as medical addiction programs). I agree, but what Austin, TX did, for example, was just cut the police department budget before fixing said problems another way. The same problems exist in the legal system. The same problems exist with drugs. The city didn't fix any of those problems before cutting the police department budget. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:946825163] in House Dems...
