Defunding the police. Makes any sense to you?

@redredred Stop the prejudice, recondition officers and you may never even need to discuss civil suits.

@Graylight Wave your wand; I believe economic impact may actually work.

@redredred People always call what they're not willing to do impossible.

@Graylight People forget, Trump has defunded most things!! 🤦‍♀️

@Graylight No, seriously, of 60 years of leftist flavored education hasn't produced your desired results, wave your wand.

@redredred One has to assume many things to even answer your post, which I don't, so...

@redredred I don’t hate this idea, but I don’t love the idea that bad cops can end up stealing retirement money from good cops.

It’s also more complicated than good cops and bad cops.

We have inconsistent enforcement that is supported at the department level. We have expectations that cops are expected to deal with homelessness, drug abuse and domestic disputes when what is needed in most of those cases is mental health or economic support.

There are some terribly misinformed people who have latched on to the “defund” term, seemingly unaware of what that word literally means.

@JoeyFoxx Theres a reason some people dont graduate from the Police Academies; it's hard, assumes high expectations and requires professionalism. 1000 good cops who tolerate 1 bad cop is 1001 bad cops.

@redredred when a group of cops get together for a photo shoot at the scene of a innocent victim they murdered, does this implicate that precinct?

I think the challenge in front of us today is that “internal affairs “ operates like a mob organization. If you don’t support your fellow officers no matter what, then you will be ostracized

@redredred I support this suggestion and have stated it to others for years. I think they should carry individual liability insurance that they pay for themselves, like most professionals do. If you have no problems then paying the insurance is no problem either. If you kill someone under questionable circumstances or have multiple lawsuits then being a police officer would simply become cost prohibitive for you.
