It's just so bizarre to watch these politicians bow to this nonsense. I just can't imagine being wrapped up in any ideology to the point where you just throw out any sort of rational thought. I mean, these people hold the thought that you should not only be prohibited from owning guns but there should be no police as well. I guess that explains the thought process about how the kung flu was so bad that we should shut down society for a year, but a week later you support hundreds of thousands of people marching in the streets together.

Marxists infiltrated institutions long ago, we are seeing it come to fruition. The absurd became normalized, and here we are.

Cool. They’re going to address single mother hood rates, failing public education, trade schools, the war on drugs, the welfare state, and the nuclear black family?

I can't wait to watch them send some lily white young woman into the hood to respond to shots fired so she can ask them why they're so angry

I have a theory that with the advent of 24 hour news and then the rise of social media, "life" sped up. Politicians cannot keep up with the whims of the voters, and have been reduced to little more than a dog chasing its tail. They cannot placate voters fast enough. The winds of public opinion blow too fast for them to keep up with, and that results in playing both sides against the middle. They cannot keep up with the whims of an uneducated, or falsely educated, voting public, so knee jerk reactions happen all of the time in the spirit of appeasement and maintaining the vote.

All of this is fine for the politicians, of course, because with the new age the public's attention span has been reduced to that of a gold fish, and they know they will not be held accountable.

All the politicians onn their town council should be forced to live inside the city proper with their family. No armed guards allowed.

They thought people were afraid to inform on others in the neighborhood now, just wait until there's absolutely no one to keep any sort of order.

Take it apart, build it back. Sounds like at the end of the process they will still have a police force.

A police force is also part of the criminal justice system. The DA can't bring charges or convict anyone without police involvement in terms of reports, collecting and preserving evidence, and serving as witnesses. Might as well close all the jails too, which is of course something else liberals want.

This is a recipe for anarchy.

Maybe they're trying to copy Camden, NJ?

I mean the idea of actually getting rid of a police force and not really replacing sounds like an extremely bad idea.

I’m sure there will be lots of people signing up for these jobs after a couple unarmed “officers” get murdered.

And Fire and EMT will be “thrilled” to have no real police support too. Just made all their jobs significantly tougher

I must really be in your little head. First you are posting, falsely claiming that you were quoting me. Now you are showing up in every thread I post in.

You are obsessed with me.

Sorry kid, I don’t hire interns.
