Why do people go on about "defund" the police - do they not realize this is just inviting more crime to the area & usually more dangerous crime?

[BlackBeauty90]

Honestly.

Are they not intelligent enough to understand cause & effect? Remove police = more crime.

Or are they closet criminals & don't want police so can engage in petty crimes themselves?

[loveslongnails]

No one is defunding police. At best, they want certain monies reallocated to pay for things that pro-actively positive and not reactionary. Every police department does not need a swat team, for example. It was a very unfortunate turn of phrase to be used, and the Republitards just use it to try and make people think that Dems want to eliminate cops, rather than give them better training. In REALITY though, Republicans vote against spending for police on the state and federal level FAR more than Dems do!

Say what you want, fact less folks, but you can't escape the numbers. The worst cities and states for gun violence and violent crimes are - yeah, guess what - red states and cities.

For any of you care to see real data, this guy lives for it. It's data, not anecdotal evidence or stories about a friend, or a friend's friend, like the poster is famous for using as verification and justification for premises.

@loveslongnails - ROFL. Removing 80% of the people on welfare, as there are hundreds of thousands of scammers contributing nothing to society on what was meant to be a temporary relief service, would do more than defunding police.

America has five times the welfare numbers of other countries that offer assistance. And if we were to compare population numbers even China which does offer assistance to civilians has 1 & a half times the populatin of US and doesn't spend 1/4th the money American does on a heavily scammed system like welfare.

[BlackBeauty90]

@loveslongnails and ironically the most supportive cities / regions of welfare - which goes hand in hand with low education, crime rates, drug abuse, etc. - is NOT republicans but democratics. District of Columbia (DC) is democrat and TOPS the list of violent crime in America by OVER 200 points. Alaska (republication) is 2nd. New Mexico democrat is 3rd.

I live in a major city in the northeast and the mayor took 3 million from the police budget. Ostly used to fund overtime shifts

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven Which there is NO need to fund in the first place. Overtime is the biggest fucking scam going.

[loveslongnails]

Yeah, because America has 20-25% of its population living at or around the poverty line, you fucking idiot. The number of people scamming food stamps is negligible compared to the number of people who actually need food assistance. You're such a fucking troll. Go back to Russia.

[BlackBeauty90]

@loveslongnails - try to use google for more than finding the local drug shop & beer store. Your stats are wrong. And well maybe if the douche got educated they'd not be, huh?

[exitseven]

Overtime puts more cops on the street which is exactly what is needed.

[loveslongnails]

Sorry troll, but you don't comprehend poverty levels. The poverty line itself has 11.6% of Americans living at it. It has another 15% living at 100-200% above the poverty line, which GUESS WHAT douche sack - IS STILL POVERTY!

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven OVERTIME bankrupt's budgets and means you have tired cops making critical decisions. Hire more cops with the same money, if that's what you believe. Good luck with that though, as new law enforcement applications are down 7-10% nationwide, and more in certain cities.

[exitseven]

Nobody wants to be a cop. Many police departments have to lower standards to find recruits. They will end up with a bunch of mall cops.

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven Without more information and data, that's nothing but hearsay, which of course, exactly fits your narrative.

[exitseven]

The city where I live fmhas a police force of 1500 officers. The head of the union said 2 weeks ago that their ranks have been depleted by over 300 cops. They are having a hard time finding candidates. 20 years ago it was hard to get to the academy. This is mostly because of all the anti cop policies. I don't blame people or not want to be cops.

[BlackBeauty90]

@loveslongnails - most of the poverty level ARE poverty level because they know they'll get support you uneducated twat. Go to countries where welfare is available but not so easy to get onto and poverty levels are not so high.

[loveslongnails]

OMG you are DEFINITELY a Republican troll, and even more of a c*** than imaginable. Holy shit.
Your statement is that 'most people who live in poverty in the USA CHOOSE to do it, so they can get assistance? THAT'S your educated theory? You are a complete idiot, and you don't know ANYONE who's lived in poverty. Virtually NO ONE WANTS to be poor and live on food stamps, or state assistance, you ignorant p. o. s. If there happen to be a few who enjoy it, their numbers don't even show up to be counted. You're a misinformation spreading troll, dude.

[BlackBeauty90]

@loveslongnails - you are without a doubt an idiot. Let me ask you something since you're THAT stupid.

If someone can live off of welfare with a dozen bastards & get paid.

Why would they want to work & get off of welfare / poverty level.

Shit for brains.

[loveslongnails]

You're a fucking idiot. I said there might be a few who do that, but have you EVER spent time with impoverished people? No, obviously. Moron. You open your trolling yap and SPEW that ALL people living in poverty want it. A dozen bastards too, huh? You're a disgusting person.

Next thing you'll tell me is - everyone is born with equal opportunities, huh? You're a joke.

[exitseven]

Mostly democrats pandering for minority votes. Obama has started the hate the cops narrative. Most minorities believe that they will be shot is stopped by police. They would like to see the police defunded. Then when the cops are gone they wonder why their city is in flames

[DevikaButts95]

It's more about "not giving them oodles and oodles of funds to waste on lawsuits caused by corrupt cops" more so than to remove the actual police.

[NamerOfStars]

They're not thinking it through- or they assume that crime is created by calling it crime. Or they're paying so little attention they think that police brutality is running absolutely rampant, and is WORSE than the crime it prevents.

[zagor]

They are usually ignorant idealists who aren't attuned to the real world and like having some big powerful institution to blame for their problems.

[Billlewis]

Once again, you are 100% accurate, in my humble opinion.

[Alex8736]

Illiterate, no common sense, and believe everything on social media without ever leaving the house to wake up and smell the roses bit instead smell their own b/o from never showering

[Andres77]

I think people that want to defund the police should deactivate 911 from their phone.

[Anonymous]

Because they want to commit crimes

Most defunders are democrats so often are child molesters

[Anonymous]

Agreed, its one of the stupidest things democrats have ever come up with.

[strateguy632]

they realize and want that agenda

[WhiteBoyChill]

Its because they’re stupid
