They want to take away their Budget
so the Police get low funding
Then Crime gets worse.


In USA California
a Stupid Mayor in California

away from the Police?

Right well given people in the UK and the opposition parties have been clamouring for more funding and criticising Tory cuts of the police budget for years, its difficult to see this gathering steam here unless there is a complete about face

I dont know why some in the UK are so keen to follow the USA in everything...

I don't know all the ins and outs but it's more about finding a different way to work with communities. So for example, I know in the US, some of the allocation of funds to be taken from police will go into social workers to work with people instead of just throwing them in jail.

Defund the police doesn't mean scrap them and everyone can fight to the death, it means what we have isn't working, so lets try and find a better way.

Defunding law enforcement "means that we are reducing the ability for law enforcement to have resources that harm our communities," Cullors said in an interview with WBUR, Boston's public radio station. "It's about reinvesting those dollars into black communities, communities that have been deeply divested from."

So in the US they basically want to take guns away from officers who don’t need them (like 90% of them) and reinvest the funds elsewhere. Not too sure how it’d work in the UK because most officers don’t have guns? And their thuggery is generally just brute force
