It was never an actual thing because both the democrats and republicans love the police since they serve the same masters.

Both sides united in their effort to quash so much as a whiff of weakening the enforcers of the owning class

Same thing as Race Culture Theory Texas certainly ran with it as an excuse for no longer teaching American wrong doing in history

Focusing on brute force tackling of (In a ineffectual sociopathic manner that actually worsens the problem) problems as they happen instead of mitigating or preventing them entirely is the most American thing ever.

A lot of the discourse underneath the refund the police movement seemed to have focused on diverting freed up funds to various social programs and community outreach, so I don't think it wasn't attempting to mitigate or prevent what leads to crime

Law enforcement takes more stuff from people than burglars, close to twice as much.

The average citizen would flip their shit over their PDs being defunded so it was never going to get very far.

yeah man all that meth and drug money seized really negatively impacts society
I recommend reading up on civil asset forfeiture

The cops can and do steal with impunity. I'm not just talking about contraband either. Cash, vehicles, registered guns, furniture. They collect billions worth every year.

A shame, our police are looking more and more like a millitary base with none of the training or discipline.

The naming was a marketing disaster. Then anarchists kind of hopped onboard too and made it even less appealing.

American violence cycle:

1) Something outrageous happens
2) Wait out people protesting
3) Promise change
4) don't change
