“Defund the Police is an utter failure”

[LeftofLeft]

Thank you, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan for taking lead to Re-fund” the police. Hogan spoke out immediately a couple of years ago when the ludicrous notion that reducing funding for the police would decrease crime. As he stated, it was an utter failure. The stats speak for themselves.

The DemoKKKrats don't want a reduction in crime. Crime is what keeps them in power. Defunding the police was the DemoKKKrats' attempt to gain more power through fear (just like their Covid insanity).

Biden doesn't want to defund the police, so there, and defund the police is null and void.

 

[colfax_m]

Few if any police have actually been defunded.

Crime went go anyway. Go figure. It’s almost as if we are burning the money in a ditch.

You may have misread. He said....

although most democrats have advocated for defunding police, and it hasn't gone well in most cities that have adopted this.

You are correct about Biden but that phrase should have never been uttered at any level… it certainly did not come from conservative voices. The demonization of the police nationwide caused more harm vs. simply addressing a small crop of bad seeds. We have seen crime escalate and police staff and recruitment decline.

Where and when did crime go away? Been to Baltimore recently? That phrase and campaign exacerbated a bad situation to worse just so some Democrats could score points with their radical base.

O'Biden don't know what he wants. Hell, he don't even know where he's at.

No one want to defund the police. MOST democrats want to defund the police, that is a lie.

It’s not radical to be opposed to racist policing and police brutality without accountability.

It’s deplorable to look the other way.

It was all a part of a much bigger effort to curtail police brutality, and the overall effort bore some fruit.

At least so far as it stands in the present political climate. That may change as politics could change back to restore the police's assumed rights as was demonstrated by Chauvin.

The details can offer a worthwhile discussion.

It caused an increase in violence. I disagree there was a widespread police brutality issue, but even if so, trading one violence for another is a failure.

I wouldn't argue that isn't correct. There could have been a police backlash that I'm not aware of. However, at the same time there was a message sent to police that similar incidents such as 'Chauvin's' would no longer be tolerated by the law.

I disagree there was a widespread police brutality issue,

Then what were the police reacting to if not the 'backlash' you suggest above?

but even if so, trading one violence for another is a failure.

Yes, agreed. What are you suggesting was traded? Are you suggesting that defunding the police was violence?

 

[sartre play]

Radicals on both sides of the political isle continue to keep us from calming down & looking for reasonable solutions. A lot of the good ideas got lost in the war on words. Better training for police plus looking for back up solutions for our police officers in terms of domestic & mental health situations.

Have you asked the mother of the 19yr old girl working at Burger King.

Burger King employee, 19, fatally shot during robbery attempt: NYPD

The gunman fled the Burger King after the shooting.

19-year-old NYC Burger King worker killed by armed robber

SO SAD: Kristal Bayron-Nieves was just 19-years-old. She was gunned down by a robber at the Burger King where she worked.

The day we fully understand that every democrat policy is a deliberate failure by design in order to bring down the entire republic will the day we know the truth.

That means that what they do isn't so much stupid as it them using their demogoguery tactics to enslave the emotional sheep whose decisions are only about emotion and never about logic.

They think men can get pregnant. There, that ought to clarify that. It means their actions, all of them without exception, is only about bringing down the USA and the Republic for which it stands.

Or at least stood. It's all but over now. They laugh now but most if not all shall he wailing and gnashing their teeth in eternity soon enough.

That makes two points of the 14 points of establishing Fascism. Find a group, make everyone fear them meanwhile, you play the victim.

Defunding itself is not violent, but if you look at the link in my earlier post there was a large increase in crime/violent crime in the "defund the police" cities. And, yes, there were instances where the police made mistakes, or did things they shouldn't. However, that does not mean you punish the collective group when they are majority upstanding individuals that protect us with their lives every day.
