All the "Defund the police" folks need to watch this video.

What if you're in the camp of "Increase police funding but raise the requirements to a college degree before you can be a cop".

Do I still have to watch it?

I was reading an article this morning about my hometown having a police reform march. It’s a town of 300k people and the march had 100. There’s almost no crime and murders I believe stay in single digits. The main grievances was that one of the marchers has had police repeatedly shine flashlights in his face.

Police were present during the march handing out water bottles and snacks while making sure the roads remained unobstructed and traffic was easily diverted away as to not cause backlogs.

I’m not sure what the word is but seemed like the police and the community were already working really well together.

Just the thought of not having a trained and active police force is beyond ridiculous. It's amazing that this is even a conversation topic.


I get that there are bad cops, most likely 0.00001%, and they need to be removed, but the fact that we have blown everything up is so terribly sad.

Very brave to post this here

Who started the "Defund the Police"? I saw on instagram that there were several Hollywood types promoting this awhile back and I am just thinking "these mother frickers live in the best parts of LA. The police make sure those areas are safe as hell..

They have no idea that in areas with high crime there are actually people who live in those areas that are not involved in crime, who are already scared to live where they are, but don't have the means to get out.. And you want to take funds away from the police? How about lobby for giving police departments more funds so they can attract and hire more qualified people

There was a Joe Rogan episode last week with a professor of Psychology who has worked with police departments, etc. She said that the number of suicides committed by police is really high, however; police who are provided with a psychologist rarely, if at all commit suicide. Even if the cop doesn't want to talk, they are provided with resources to help them deal.

Defunding the police is the stupidest fricking thing I ever heard.. Let's defund these Hollywood fricks. How does someone like Chelsea Handler become rich and famous?

White people are the main drivers of the defund movement. White guilt ridden young people that have been taught to hate themselves because they are white. They’ll go back to their parents basements or pool houses when this is over while the people that live in crime ridden neighborhoods will go back to their crime with less help from the police.

This is a really dumb argument you are making. I find it particularly comical that this seems to be one of the 14 cops in America that isn't driving a $70K Tahoe.
