Oddly, the same people who want to abolish police and let everyone out of prison…. Also wants to enact more laws.
Makes perfect sense. 😂

I have only heard this as a right wing talking point.
On the other hand defund the police has been a thing because those same police use their power and authority to murder people, therefore they need less funding for that kind of behavior. If they want more funding then they need better behavior. It's simple, reward good actions, punish bad actions.
As to letting everyone out of prison I have heard that from neither side. Unless you mean decriminalizing drug use. Which I agree with. Drugs aren't a legal problem they are a medical problem. But treatment is forbidden due to all the red tape surrounding drug treatment research. So most researchers dont even bother. But it still doesn't make it disappear.

@JohnOinger Outstanding! Another year.
@LordShadowfire My understanding is that many people see police agencies as controllers/enforcers. Many consider police agencies as racist. Many do not want or feel they need policing agencies and in lieu of that would want to see some form of social worker/ community activist types get involved in circumstances where police are called.
Many want to see the funding of police agencies be cut so those cut funds could be Re directed to various social programs. And many live in fear of the “militarization”of local and state police agencies. ( some were “ militarized” , but then that was changed.)

@soar2newhighs Okay. So you do have a pretty good understanding of what it means. That's a good start. I read a rather lengthy article, allegedly from a former police officer, detailing the very toxic, trauma-based atmosphere in which they train police officers. Very much an "us vs the world" mentality, in which we civilians are referred to as sheep, too stupid to recognize the difference between wolves (criminals) and sheepdogs (cops). If the person who wrote the article is to be believed, that creates a massive amount of mistrust of civilians by cops, who are basically trained to treat us all as the enemy. That would be a huge part of the problem, if true.
@LordShadowfire I worked in emergency services as a firefighter for 33 years and worked with other first/ emergency responders. Saw and experienced enough to try and see different views on issues such as defunding the police.
