I Hate Corrupt Police

I support GOOD police. DO YOU YOU AGREE IT IS TIME TO DISCUSS PRACTICAL AND REAL METHODS OF PROTECTING OUR CITIZENS IF CITIES DECIDE TO DEFUND THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENTS? (Just to be really honest, I don't think it is possible).

There is a bill in the House of Representatives RIGHT NOW that will cause candidates for the police department to RUN away from that career choice. Police would be personally liable for their own actions, and they would become vulnerable to personal lawsuits.

I have some questions for the Minneapolis city council, and for the Los Angeles mayor who are actually planning to defund the police. (And AOC is supporting this...and so is Antifa).

1. Have you read the complete history of the defunding of the police in large cities that took place in the 1970's? Crime soared, and deaths of law abiding citizens soared.

2. If a little child has gone missing, who will look for the child? Will the so called "Neighborhood militias" have a clue how to be detectives?

3. If a man is beating up his wife and she is screaming, who will stop him and how will he be restrained and/or jailed?

4. If a person is out on the street, crazy with mental issues and drugs and they have a gun, who will stop them from shooting innocent bystanders?

5. If a drug gang or crime gang decides to take over the city and they are hanging snitches from the bridges, who is going to deal with that?

That's what I am wondering.

Discuss.

We will be like some 3rd world countries where the police are so weakened that the bad groups do whatever they want. They can go into your homes throw you out, steal you things, extort money, etc...and no one to stop them.

@marvn5694 That is very true.

@almondflour There is a country just south of us that it is that way.

@marvn5694 I agree and many more around the world.

@marvn5694 That was exactly what I was thinking. I was actually thinking specifically of Juarez, which is run by the drug cartels. Their people are terrorized. Their children are forced to see dead bodies hanging from bridges. It would be a horrible and brutal return to the middle ages.

@4meAndyou Ive been down there and it is all true. I always come back to the US with a greater appreciation for how this country really is. Some people that flap their mouth about stupid things have never felt anything like that first hand.

@marvn5694 I just saw the Minneapolis city council member who was on television earlier today overriding the decision of the mayor NOT to defund the police. She was in an interview on CNN, and when the news person asked her what people would do if their home was being broken into in the middle of the night and they wanted to call 911?

This IDIOT said that the woman who wanted to call 911 was coming from a place of PRIVILEGE. I'm serious. She really said that.
