I’ll grant you that “de-fund” was a poor choice of words. But the reality is, the police in far too many districts do not help the people they are sworn to help. In many places, they exist primarily to issue traffic tickets (revenue), don’t stop many crimes, and too often create chaos. They come in guns drawn when someone’s having a mental breakdown and needs help, not someone with a gun screaming at them. And far too often, the cops are bigger crooks than the criminals — shaking down the poor, confiscating drugs then re-selling them, running prostitution rings, all with the assurance that nobody will hold them accountable. Good policing IS important, but within our country, it is often the opposite of good. This is an issue that’s been complained about for more than a century.
The lefty, demmy, dimwits who push defunding have a lot to answer for. Wonder who they’ll scream for if they’re being attacked?And as for highlighting the minority so they look/sound like the majority, well you don’t have to go far last cdward. They make it sound like there’s more criminals than dedicated police.

Worse yet, the crook has to pay a rental fee for the cuffs while wearing them.
