    It’s because “Defund the police” is a stupid slogan. It’s so vague no one knows what’s actually meant by it.

    And anyone who thinks any large society exists without any form of law enforcement is a dumbass.

      I think it was a response to the way police fuck up and then get more taxpayer money for training, which also means more overtime pay to cover the time spent training.

      So they beat people up and get a bigger budget. Rinse, repeat.

      Well “defenestrate the police” would be a much better slogan, you’re right, but that one will get you arrested just for changing it, so some compromises are necessary.
