@HistoPol @CarlG, I appreciate what I think the main arguments of the Defund the Police crowd are: take things away from the police that shouldn't be there like health and wellness checks, domestic disputes, traffic stops, nonviolent drug crimes, prostitution, etc and take the money spent on those things and give them to agencies trained to handle these needs.
We'd be better off with this.
Still, I agree, given the origins of American policing, slave society and colonialism, abolish them.
