Democrats grapple with U.S. protesters' demand to defund the police

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Democrats have largely embraced the activists packing into streets nationwide to decry the killings of black men and women by law enforcement but so far express wariness at protesters’ calls to defund the police.

While they are clearly attuned to the cries of demonstrators from New York to Los Angeles, some top Democratic elected officials are proceeding cautiously with any suggestion they would slash police budgets to fund programs to address other social ills.


Most of the rioting and protesting is going on in blue states, and now the Dems are gonna rush to the rescue? LOL

Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — the state where the police killing of George Floyd sparked the current wave of protests — on Friday called for the Minneapolis police department to be disbanded, tweeting that it was “beyond reform.”

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was jeered by protesters on Saturday after he told them he opposed their demands to defund police.




And there we have it... Ilhan Omar wants her 5th Congressional District to be lawless. I guess you can't have pirates, illegals and law enforcement in the same town.
We need to disband Ilhan Omar... quickly.

Defunding the police is the most Quentin Tarantino response possible to all of this.

And for those saying "oh well it worked Camden, NJ". Yea, well it only "worked" because they completely revamped the education funding as well... and even then, the crime rates didn't drop until 2017, nine years after it was all changed (2008).
Actually, crime fucking SKYROCKETED for the next few years after 2008, and it became one of the deadliest cities in the country.

I'm from about 30 mins outside Camden, I'm well aware of that shithole.

So what you are saying is it worked?
No one expects to see overnight change from education reform.

Ilhan Omar wants the police force... DISBANDED, in Minneapolis and maybe in all of Minnesota, for all I know.

Of course someone would take 1% of what I said and take that as good news.

Why not bolster the training programs prospective officers go through? Make the psychological screening more thorough / lengthy? Continuous screenings throughout an officer's career to make sure there's no sort of mental decline? Constant trainings / competency tests to ensure officer's not only know, but UNDERSTAND the law and rules of engagement (ROE)?

Defunding the police force is nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction that's going to cause the city to spiral out of control, slowly but surely. But hey, what's nine years of chaos / murder / corruption if the left can prove their point that "it worked", right?
