'Defund the Police.' What would that look like?

HOW ARE CITIES RESPONDING?

In Los Angeles, city officials proposed cutting up to $150 million from the police department’s $3 billion budget this week, as part of a broader wave of spending cuts. Mayor Eric Garcetti, a Democrat, said the goal was to free up money “so we can invest in jobs, in health, in education and in healing.”

Biden had pledged a slate of criminal justice reforms before Floyd’s death, including stepping up Department of Justice investigations of police abuse as well as bringing more mental health and substance abuse specialists in to work with law enforcement.

It’s a wonder anyone would become a police officer these days. Cities without law and order...wonder how that will be?

You will never hear me endorse any kind of defunding of Police Departments or legal authoritative law enforcement agency.

However I have never been an advocate of for-profit prisons and/or paramilitary organizations. SO THEY DON'T GET A PENNEY!

Have fun with that. LIBTARDS!
