[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember when there was a movement called defund the police, which made clear that the goal was to defund the police. And all sorts of SJWs tried to tell us that the goal wasn't actually to defund the police, but just more accountability or something like that. But in fact, the goal was to defund the police -- make it so that police work was useless and criminals could do whatever they want and not be punished.

Kind of hilarious that they didn't hide the goal at all, and SJWs supported it. The criminals won -- they changed the dialogue so that criminals should not be punished and should be able to commit whatever crimes they want. It's amazing that in such an educated city, people are this gullible.

Next time, they should just call it, "We Love Criminals not Victims," and people would still support it. We'd probably hear from the gullible SJWs about how that just means that criminals are misunderstood and need to be supported, not that we actually value criminals more than victims.[/quote]

I remember "Defund the Police" - but it didn't actually amount to much in terms of budget or policy.  It mostly just made some cops think they shouldn't have to do their jobs anymore.[/quote]

It meant a ton in terms of policy locally. Maybe you don’t pay attention to local news and politics, but many of us do.[/quote]

It meant a ton in terms of police attitudes and opinions, they were upset about what a bunch of randos on the internet said - though DC got no more of that than any other city.  In reality, the budgetary and policy impacts were minimal, especially when compared to cuts and policy changes in most other cities around the country.  Yet in most other cities, police have gotten over it and have started doing their jobs again.  It's long past due for MPD to do the same.[/quote]

A cop went to jail for murder because a criminal can’t handle his own business on a moped like I used to ride in middle school. That will have an effect on chasing down carjackers and killers.[/quote]
