Defund the police is about police having the resources and immunity to escalate situations to mortal danger. Have you never considered why places like northern Ireland don’t have rampant murders by the police? The place was bombing itself not 30 years ago. There is more bottled violence there than the US. General police there don’t carry firearms. Not because they don’t have money, or it’s not dangerous, but because not every situation calls for someone armed to the teeth.
If police couldn’t respond to every call here, others would be called in. Neighbor’s autistic child is causing a scene? Get a social worker there. If you need someone with a gun, then you call that in. But if you start with someone trained to control a situation with deadly force and introduce someone mentally incapable of understanding or complying, you’re gonna have dead kids. Which we do. Without the need for that.
But I guess you’re ok with shooting the mentally infirm because they’re a burden and should be cleansed. The Nazis thought that was too.
Yes as I was trying to say when you understand the reality beyond the slogan it’s a very sensible thing, which is why presenting it in a way 99% of the population disagree with is so weird
