[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4722708, member: 63706"] I didn't find a thread dealing specifically with this issue, and I didn't want to keep clogging up the thread about the awful murder of our brown brother with this topic. But I wanted to respond to this patently absurd post: First: Don't talk about what the Defund the Police movement is actually about, then admit that you have no idea what it is actually about. It is not about simply moving funds around in some misguided attempt to find the perfect combination of government spending that will solve the world's problems. The people behind Defund the Police are driving a make-believe ad-campaign claiming that all police are racist murderers and that policing as we know it must come to an end. This milquetoast excuse making B.S. trying to tell people that isn't what the movement is about is only confusing the matter, and enabling a hate group. Second: if funding mental health and social services better will solve problems, why does that money have to come from police budgets? You just admitted that you believe they are under-funded. It doesn't make sense. Why would you make excuses for a movement whose motives you admit to not knowing, when you don't even agree with the premise of what you think their motives are? This would be the first fiscally responsible radical movement in history if what you claimed about Defund the Police were true. But instead of defunding the police, why not focus on government agencies that are actually a waste of resources? Defund Public Health agencies that use fraudulent numbers in a pandemic to scare people into accepting being put under house arrest and having their livelihoods destroyed? How about defunding the Public Education system that is pushing communist agitation doctrine on our kids and trying to block parents from knowing what they are teaching their kids? Or defund the politicians who are usurping the power of the people to make decisions for themselves? The list of government waste that can be cut back is endless, why start with the people we charge with the mostly thankless and dangerous job of upholding the law and helping to keep us safe? Because some agitators want to focus on the fact that some corrupt officers do things they shouldn't, or that some officers who are doing what they should and just so happen to kill someone with the wrong colored skin who were themselves doing things they shouldn't? I'm not denying that police corruption and misconduct need to be addressed. It is simply an issue that doesn't apply to all police, nor will "defunding" the police do anything to solve the problem that won't cause much larger problems. [/QUOTE]
