"Defunding the police" means stop providing them with military equipment. How many times did the councilman ask the police to send an armored tank to his home?
no military equipment? how will that stop the supposed "Wacist" cops who just decided to go "murder" "unarmed black males" for no reason?
defund makes no sense as a response, if that is what it means.
zeroing out the budget is the only way it makes sense.
Your emotional response is total nonsense. The police department does not need an armored car to stop "wacist' cops.
NYC lost 26 patrol vehicles in just TWO DAYS... Surely that pays the bill for a coupled armored cars... And the equipment has NOTHING TO DO with "wascist" cops.. And you know that.. If we want cops to take the calls for terrorist, mass shootings, riots, school shootings -- they NEED to have all the equipment to do that without personal risk... Killing your "crime investigators" and SWAT units, calling for ABOLISHING the police, making them PERSONALLY LIBEL -- means you'll wont be able to hire and recruit ANYONE willing to do the job..
Vast majority of the public opposes those actions.. INCLUDING in some polls -- up to 80% of blacks living in failing dangerous neighborhoods..
