[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Arlington residents wanted to defund the police, so you get what you ask for. [/quote]

Back here in reality, the Arlington County PD's budget went up this year.[/quote]

+1 this is just copaganda.

And also - since when do police actually investigate routine property crime? I've literally never heard of anyone ever having something stolen and having the cops do anything other than file a report. [/quote]

No, no, no, you don't understand! Despite the fact that the police lost absolutely zero funding, random strangers on the internet [i]said they wanted[/i] to defund the police. It was very, very mean of them, so according to the "F your feelings," "we're not snowflakes" crowd, this means the police are completely justified in not doing their jobs. [/quote]

You don’t need to defund them. Just make their jobs so inhospitable that existing officers retire early. Make sure recruit classes are empty because no reasonable person wants to apply. Then the remaining police are stretched so thin they can’t effectively do their jobs. This isn’t about “defunding.” This is about the severe shortage of officers right now.  [/quote]
