Defunding and abolishing Police Departments

[sfreeman8]

It's not that drastic.  In fact, it's not like that at all.  Government officials are not that stupid!! 

By the way defund is absolutely not the same thing as abolish.
~ America abolished slavery.  Nobody is asking to abolish the police departments!

Do you really think government officials aren't stupid?  I know a bunch who are that stupid. As for "defund" and "abolish," there ARE a bunch of protesters in the "defund" group who are yelling to abolish the police in some states. There are also some far left radical people in Congress who want that, too.

I can't even imagine living anywhere with no police protecting us. They just need to punish the ones who violate the laws, just like other citizens would face.

Probably the must ridiculous idea I have ever heard.

If you kill funds for police they can't do there job properly which will lead to crime going up. WE have seen the so called no police zone in Seattle and what limited police funds does for New York Police. Crimes just goes up and up. The whole defund the police is kind irresponsible and puts innocent people at risk
