Demonstrations, signs, marches, all demanding the defunding of police.
Conservatives warned that the reduction in funds allocated to police departments, the decimation of police morale, and the lowering of available police officers (retirements and resignations from the wave of hatred towards police) would lead to more crime, more death, more suffering, and more lawlessness.
The progressive left and the Marxist crowd want to break down society to rebuild things. This is the active goal. They try to sell it like it's a redistribution of funds to the community, but that's BS.
It's the normal average citizens that have to really get involved and rout those people out. It's like here in LA, the new DA Gascon. This scumbag just got into office and is already changing everything around for the worse. People here are more hip to his games from his time in the DA's office up in the bay. There is already a campaign to boot his ass.
People really need to wake up and take back their communities from these far left progressive mouth breathing fools. I hope my disdain is coming through, that is my intent.
It's well written and nuanced and doesn't reject that reforms were needed but identifies that by disbanding the gun task force that the surge in victims is from the very community that they were trying to help.
You can certainly have reforms and more oversight without utterly sacrificing those communities to gang feuds and hosts of retaliatory killings and so forth.
Many of those that sought the reforms are the ones now asking for a reversal. Unfortunately, the city council seems to have a whole bunch of ivory tower types that don't live in the rough neighborhoods and are enraptured with dogma.

Ivory Tower types are always the ones who are both most idealistic and most stubborn, and they also tend to be thin-skinned: challenge them and they take major offense. For people who are book-smart and who got degrees at great schools, they sure have fragile egos and they definitely can't hold their own when challenges on the validity of their arguments.
And they're as you said always the ones living the farthest from the city streets which are patrolled less often after their misbegotten suggestions become policies and laws.
Believe it or not there are actual criminals out there. CRIME does exist. Cannot attribute all CRIME as a result of some contrived 'war'. Most CRIMINALS are not political martyrs or victims. They are CRIMINALS who will commit CRIME that affects the public.
Americans just not smart enough to recognize everything has a cause and effect.
Every country has their mental midgets.
