Can't agree, sorry. Give them more money to hire more sociopaths and bolster lobbyists for qualified immunity? No thanks.
Your answer would be to defund them? That doesn’t work.

The current status quo doesn't work. Redirect funding to oversight, because they sure as fuck need it. That most recent Burt rozzer was off the Richter inappropriate. Rape and extortion are criminal offenses, are they not?

The concept of "Defund the police!" isn't about just cutting off the money and immediately cancelling the whole institution. The idea is to remove both funding and responsibilities from them, replacing them with specialists like social workers, community support workers, mental health and crisis specialists, etc.
