    I don’t think that’s what anyone suggests. However the opposite is what needs to be called out. Why do police departments consistently ask for more and more funding, usually looking for reasons to spend it (see urban assault vehicles, larger and more militarized forces) when crime is down already? If they’re doing fine with the budget they have, why do we need to give them even more money?

    “Defund the police” doesn’t mean we have no police. It means they’re overfunded. Let’s see about defunding them and giving some of that money to other people, like mental health advocates or groups that help with homelessness - some of the main causes of crime. Wouldn’t that mean the police can focus on things they are trained for while also cutting crime down at it’s source? If someone is never desperate enough to mug someone in the first place, doesn’t that mean the crime was prevented?

      Defund the police doesn’t mean abolish the police

              Right. Is this your first time encountering an anarchist?

                Nope, I do just enjoy pointing out stupidity when I see it.

                    Yes I’m stupid, the one who’s political view is unknown but you the anarchist aren’t stupid though your idealist bullshit is taken by just about everyone to be wildly naive and idiotic. But sure, you do you and enjoy it in the relative safety of about governed world or as others might call it, pricing my point for me.

          Just because you don’t know the first thing about a subject doesn’t mean it’s ‘dumb’

          It means you’re ignorant and lazy

          And maybe you should approach a new subject and belief as a student before you decide to mouth off like a fool

            That’s your assumption based on literally nothing.

            It means your presumptuous and dumb.

                  I just think it’s ironic, going around calling people stupid and then writing like that

                    See that’s a mistake, it doesn’t mean I stupid it means I made a mistake, saying something intentional and unintelligent makes you stupid. That said your did just prove that woke dumb thing though I didn’t think you meant to.
