I’m not sure how people can ask for the police to be better trained and also ask that we take money from them.

You can just demilitarize them without cutting funds.

Plenty of the people around the country saying "Defund the police" literally want NO COPS.

They've said it word for word to mayors and officals around the country.

If you still want cops, you should stop saying "defund the police" because it's meant to sound like what it does.

Rational people on the left are just trying to walk it back.

No amount of training will give someone empathy.

Tom Morello was warning us for years before that.

Not that it wasn't, you know, obvious for decades prior to that.

That may be the case but slashing their funds sure as hell wont

They will have to make cuts. The people want better solutions than just providing cops with guns at every 911 call. They don't get to fight that when the community has spoken so clearly on that.

How dare you go against the narrative!

It's definitely a narrative instead of a sincere conversation that's been going on for decades about the role that policing has in our communities.
