What exactly does “defund the police” accomplish? (interview, illegal, regime)

[bobbythegreat]

It goes a long way towards hurting the country, which is the current goal of our friends on the left.

Cities shouldn't use 90% of their budget for Law Enforcement. Cut it down to 50 % at least.

That's sorta big if you got hard feelings against armed robbery.

You think taxes will go down simply because the police departments aren’t getting the money? That’s funny.

They want an organized organization of stormtroopers that answer only to the feds with complete authority to oversee any and all areas. No local police, just goons like in Blackwater, hired mercenary police with loyalty only to those that pay them.
I thought we were against a police state but that's what the progressives and anarchists want.

More crime, more violence, less stability.

They're trying to create chaos and violence so that the entire governmental and economic systems collapse, allowing the extremist left to take over the country through the threat and use of force.

That won't happen. If you read more into it they (the protesters) want that money to go to minority communities (and in some cases only Black communities) to provide homes, food and social services.

And instead of cops, social workers and mental health workers will deal with any crimes being committed.
Basically "use your words" to stop crime.


Pie in the sky ideas if you ask me. If anything I think crime would increase if you take away all law enforcement. And then people will start taking the law into their own hands.

On another note, this moronic idea shouldn't even be up for discussion right now. I thought this country didn't negotiate with terrorists..................
