The Defund the Police movement

[AgnosticBoy]

Is the defund police movement simply reactionary or is it based on reasoned thought? Usually when emotions run high people act on their feelings to satisfy them. That is distinct from reasoned thought which all policy should be based on.

Later I'll post a video of Minnesota mayor being attacked. He's also a Democrat. Perhaps this helps to show that a lot of the policies coming from the left are just rooted in anger.


Look at the anger based interaction in this video starting at the :55 minute mark:


Video of Minnesota Democrat mayor Jacob Frey being cursed out and shunned by fellow Democrats. Bottle is thrown at him towards the end of the video.

At a minimum, there needs to be some reform in law enforcement. There's too much discrimination, excessive use of force, harassment, deception, and abuse of power. Of course, there can be exceptional precincts and honorable police officers, but it seems to be a systemic problem.

As someone wisely said:

“Repurpose [much of] the vast resources poured into policing and jails and prisons to schools, health care, social services and initiatives that transform societal conditions contributing to violence and harm.”
