Welcome to the Reality of DEFUNDING Policing...

[Zacha341]

So first off there's an assumption that everyone the firm side of condemning and calling out police misconduct and brutality agrees with across-the-board police defunding, full out. NOT TRUE. If someone took an actual poll... well that would not be expedient to the staid narrative. Would it?

I for one think that the local police departments still have a job and community service to perform, to say the least. Unless for some reason I didn't get the memo that heaven had arrived and all actual criminal activity has ceased. It has not. Actually crime is up in not a few areas of the country.

To the contrary [[setting aside the question of military-level equipment expenditures which is a huge variable depending on the city) if any thing we need more specific funding for example that does a better job of vetting, and training LEO's in the appropriate use of force and apprehension. And monitoring their actions [[with tangible consequences along the officers work history) on the job, by way of stricter controls an stronger actions for misconduct.

I find much of the 'defund' and ditch the police talk to be just that. The elite left-leaning politicians [[desiring to be on the right side of the politic) will always advance that which that BELIEVE wont impact them. They have their exempted, secure, private, gated communities, for now.

How nice for the teaming masses, left to ourselves.........

Is NYC [[where it can be said the elite rich and the general pops are side by side in certain respects depending on address) at large, really, REALLY going to defund, end policing to the satisfaction of those protesting?

Then again maybe they are just that far gone at the behest of being PC and not wanting to appear racist [[eh, Trump behaving, so it goes):

Protesters camp outside City Hall in NYC demanding that Mayor de Blasio slash $1BN from the NYPD budget despite gun crime surge!

After 28 Shootings In 72 Hours, De Blasio Says ‘We Are Not Going To Allow Gun Violence To Continue To Grow’

Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, and New York report uptick in shootings
