Would it be better to defund the police or to defund politicians?

defund police

defund politicians

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Why not both?

Defund politicians, defund excessive police spending (they don't need tanks or military gear).

Put the money towards community programming and social outreach workers to work in concert with the remaining police.

Politicians should receive a stipend, but not be eligible to receive any bribes, donations, fees, financing, or gifts from any corporations or corporate affiliates. They should be barred from trading stock - especially if their portfolio deals with economics or finance. If they own stock, it must be transparent and the DOJ should be empowered to arrest, punish, and revoke the stock if the politician is caught engaging in insider trading.

Money is a root of evil. Police and politics shouldn't be influenced by it. They should be guided by the needs of the people.

The Congress hasn't been to work in years!! They don't do a damn thing for our country 🇺🇸 except collect their paychecks and use their benefits. I can't even imagine when they will actually do work to help America. All they do is stir up a bunch of shit and get paid for it with taxpayers money. No wonder so many people don't want to work - all their tax dollars pays these worthless people for doing nothing. Maybe it's not they just don't want to work - maybe they are ON STRIKE!!!

Defund the police means not equiping them like a military and funding mental health services instead of using prisons to house mentally ill people.

In fact when explained CORRECTLY the vast majority of people , including police!! Agree with the actual meaning not the fox "don't call us news we're infotainment" description.

Agreed. Politics should be funded with voluntary donations by the citizens. No lobbying, nor corporate money, nothing. See how quickly these fucks would fall in line when the individual citizens decide their paycheck. None of them would be millionare.
1 citizen ,1 donation, 50 $\£\¥\€ max

How would you defund politicians? They get all their money from lobbyist and corporations. Which oddly enough are using our money.

Most definitely better to defend these thieving, lying criminals known as politicians

* defund (I most definitely didn’t mean “defend”- thanks,, autocorrect!)

[exitseven]

We should defund political. Lets start with John Kerry.

[sage2021]

@exitseven why? What'd he do?

[exitseven]

@sage2021 John Kerry is getting millions of dollars to run his sham or an organization. He refuses to disclose salaries and how the money is being spent. Meanwhile he is flying around in his private jet going from one junket to the next and not accomplishing a damn thing.

[gorydetails]

politicians for sure.

Have police arrest the politicians
