[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC Council Member Charles Allen declares “This violence is unacceptable.” DC Democrats including the police force and union supported him. But now, they say “Charles Allen has turned a blind eye to concerned residents. Rather Charles Allen chooses to cater to an activist crowd whose agenda is anti-police whatever the cost.”

“Allen’s reform measures have resulted in a tragic loss of life and an increase in violent crime.”

So sad how DC keeps voting for more destruction of its own.

Hi.  Defunding the police isn't about being anti-police.  It's about being anti-militarization of the police.  It's about putting budget pressure on the police departments to reduce spending on high tech guns, armored vehicles, etc. It's about repurposing those funds to social net programs to build positive changes in communities.  Its about police departments reprioritizing community policing rather than military tactical ops.

Just because when MPD faced budget pressure they decided to downsize the force doesn't mean the decision to shrink/hold their budget was wrong.  It means their mgmt didn't make the right choices to retain force size while shrinking these expensive and largely unnecessary purchases of high tech people killing gear.[/quote]

Can you show me in the police budget the expenditure for armored vehicles or high tech guns?

Your screed, which you continue to keep posting, has been soundly debunked.[/quote]
