[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad the MPD have not been defunded yet. They seem to be doing a great job... Again. [/quote]

Oh my god. I hate the “defunding” police language but the proposals themselves - to redirect money towards social services - would HELP the police do their job.

I once had an encounter with the police when my DH was deeply depressed and called 911 in a flash of sanity instead of killing himself. We had four police cars at our house, and were treated like criminals. He had to ride to the police station to see a cop “psychologist” in the back of a police car. They physically threatened us when I suggested we speak to his therapist on the phone instead. And we are white, well educated, and our home is worth over 1.3M in a nice neighborhood. I can only imagine what would have happened to us if we weren’t so privileged.

There should have been OTHER public resources available to us, and available to people in need. THAT’S what “defunding” the police is about.[/quote]
