2. Oh so people want freebees. Hmm Defund the police .. cool.

3. Part of the small hats masterplan 👃🥒✂️

4. Only retards and criminals think taking away resources from Law enforcement is a good idea

5. Idiots just like abc

6. Get rid of police? Ok we as a country are having serious issues with police brutality ..and all lives are at risk from police brutality not just blacks.Change the way police handle lives not get rid of them.i dread thinking what " they mean to replace" the police..for what? Something much worse?

7. Alright that's enough It's time for everyone to get back to work! We have to much time on our hands that we're just saying stupid stuff. How in the hell is this a good idea? Do they know how many people/children that will be murdered or missing? This 2020 thing right here is straight up ridiculous 😟 seriously!

8. Those SCREAMING RACISM
   are now becoming RACIST ◇◇◇◇
   They want to defund the police department because of the actions of some
   THAT IS RACISM

9. Time to legalize Guns open carry in every state🤓

10. what defunding the police REALLY means is re-allocate some of the massive police budgets to communities to spend on things plays just a big part in making that community safe. If you talking about abolishing police departments, that's a different thing… aaaand there is a reason why that in some instances is easer that "reforming" a police department. You see police unions are powerful. So if you JUST want to take away money from the police. That won't solve this problem at all. just make it worse. Police unions they have a policy of last man in – first man out. That leaves you with the "old guard" instead of the new generation of police that might be the ones you really want to keep. If you really want to revamp your police department. dissolving it first might be a more effective way to go. look into Camden. An amazing example of what is possible and why it was only possible by first dismantling the police department. The went from being in a crisis to be one of the safes places in NJ in just a couple of years. How? by starting over. the only way to get rid of the bad police officers protected by police unions is to fire everyone and then build a new police dept. Make those who apply to go through a rigorous hiring process with testing both mentally and physically to see who is really is up to the task. then give them a new and clear mission on what they are really supposed to do. Everything in lockstep WITH the community. Im NOT saying this is something that should be done everywhere.. just explaining why it CAN work in places where you have a really disfunctioning department.

11. I suggest classes on accountability for one's actions, the social contract, civics and old fashioned common sense which as of late is uncommon. Freedom and liberty have bounderies. Common courtesy and mutual respect is where we can start.

12. Don't let anti-police politicians and activist deceive you by rationalizing the defunding of police. Because pro-life politicians campaigned on defunding abortion clinics such as Planned Parenthood. Their opponents didn't need any explanation, they knew what defunding meant.

13. Refund the police . Not defund it

14. If only those officers didnt live amd have family in that state. I would pack up and leave those morons to their stupidity. Quit and leave please police these guys do not deserve you.

15. Giving a police officer more money doesn't make them do their job better. It actually makes it worse as they're now defending that extra flow by kissing corrupt ass.

16. Guess they need more money to fight the virus again

17. Lmfaooooo what idiots

18. Taxpayers are sick and tired of their tax dollars paying for officers violating our Civil Rights. We expect our police officers to know and respect the laws they are hired and paid to enforce. One way is to rescind Qualified Immunity and make Officers pay for their own mistakes out of their personal retirement fund or even their own pockets.

19. This is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard. How is this a good idea when the rich get robbed and no one will be there to help then they will learn

20. Im all for cutting the ridiculous percentages of cities budget that the police receive, dissolving the force and making them go through more training and screening to get rehired(like in jersey) and reallocating the budget to other community programs like education healthcare or distributing some jobs the police handle to create more jobs. I draw the line at completely abolishing police. crime does exist at a LOW percentage that they still need to handle. At least change is coming I hope its for the best

21. LOCK AND LOAD….

22. Defund the police…go ahead Liberals…my neighbors and I are ready and willing to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights to defend our families and communities when the rioters, looters, arsonists, rapists and robbers come to our neighborhoods. No police around to arrest us, right Libs ? Careful what you wish for…idiots.

23. Next thing you know, these fools will want to defund the military. Do they know that they will die, if they go this route?

24. 12 people. 1 a month. I'm trying to figure out if this supposed to be good or not

25. God you people are morons. There will still be police to protect you from "home invasions" or whatever. There will just be more funding for social services and less on using the police as a panacea.

26. Before defunding the police citizens should start defunding the drug cartels.

27. These cities are given the money for more public funding, their politicians are just pocketing it.

28. Soon they will make it illegal for cops to wear body cams are to film them

29. End the War on Drugs. That defunds the police and the for-profit prisons that are responsible for the cultivation of crime. Crime is being cultivated as a resource to be exploited by various tax-funded government agencies and institutions. Gangs and cartels are profiting massively from the War on Drugs, as are the prison profiteers and politicians. Many corrupt people join the police simply because they can exploit the fact drugs are criminalized; they know drug use is unavoidable human nature. Defunding the police without ending the War on Drugs is obviously a great idea, though, let's just do that.

30. You realize the more you defund the police the more tickets they have to pass out – aka more “walking while black” or “driving while black” incidents, in order to make up the lack of funds….

31. Weren't ppl just bitching about citizens instead of police dealing w/Ahmaud Arbery? And now they're saying just let citizens police themselves? Lol You fukkin liberal clowns should get your story straight. hahahahaha

32. Definitely defund the police but dont abolish them, that's too far and kinda insane.

    Heres how defunding the police could look. There's definitely room for reasonable discussion on where to draw the line. Definitely defund the police but dont abolish them, that's too far and kinda insane.

    Heres how defunding the police could look.

    We dont want 1 third of an entire state or city budget going just on policing. That's also insane.

33. Awesome. We're going to be Somalia. Thanks Democratic party and all you allies.

34. Oh come on…
    Spend more money in making/reforming a better law enforcement with less officers that are better trained.. Use money from other 'sources' to get the communities what they should already be getting, to lower criminality also. This is giving the country to criminals.

35. Disband and defund all police departments Across America get rid of them then we will be safe from tyranny.

36. Apple steal from society and only pay 1.6% tax. Get them to pay more along with tax scamazon.

37. This isnt people asking for police to reform. This is people who have given up on police. Time for robocop!

38. People are crazy nowadays. One bad police, and the police will be defunded? What about next time we found one teacher not PC, get rid off school? One Social worker not treat minority well, take away fund for social workers???

39. Defund the police? Just some thoughts!
    Every street is now a part of the autobahn.
    A school shooting. Junior can pack heat.
    Bars on every window.
    Twelve foot walls around every house.
    No more smogs, registration fees, business licenses, or taxes paid.
    A vigilante like Charles Bronson can practice justice in the open.
    Warlords can own neighborhoods.
    Mobs rules will be in fashion.
    Everything goes laissez faire.
    ERs, funeral homes, karate studios, gun stores, and security companies might fare the best.
    Other businesses might as well leave while they can!
    Turn back the clock to our more prehistoric days where things were so good!
    Good-bye modern world. Hello third world?
    Do we have anarchy or utopia?
    Why not experiment to see if mankind can practice humanity using the honor system?
    Politicians. Who needs them now?

40. WTF, so what will happen? Crime will go up and play right into hands of Trump. He must be hoping Democrat mayors across the country do this.

41. Defunding the police is the stupidest craziest thing you can do.

42. Defund those terrorists. I’m over 40yrs old, I don’t have a criminal record, I’m related to 2 Detroit cops and like a lot of law abiding citizens I’ve endured and witnessed police misconduct. I’ve known them to harass, extort, falsify reports, violate our rights, abuse people and the authority we provide them. Once when I was young I got stopped for nothing and I thought mentioning I have cop relatives would make for a better experience, that really irritated the pig like I was asking for special treatment, even though I did nothing wrong and was let go when he was done reminding me of his power. I was like 12 and it wasn’t the last time, FTP.
