Too many cops with rambo syndrome. I'm guessing they don't have any kind of psychological testing at all during police training.

I think when it’s this frequent and prominent it becomes clear that it’s not a problem with individual officers. Structural.

“You my opposer when I want freedom, you my opposer when I want justice, you my opposer when I want equality. You won’t even stand up for me in America for my religious beliefs and you want me to go somewhere and fight when you won’t even stand up for me here at home!”

That’s incredibly generous, and I’m sure sincere, but it would have been hard to do nothing meaningful with “Republicans buy shoes too” top of mind again via The Last Dance.

Random question.
So lets say that people's goal of defunding the police actually happens. What exactly are these people expecting to happen to crime? What is their solution to it happening?

None of that talks about what is suppose to replace police if you get rid of it completely.
(and before we talk about private detectives and security forces, I'm not entirely convinced that's anything other than privatizing security to me, and from the perspective of health care [and electricity and water, and telecommunications], I don't really think privatizing public services works very well)

Defunding does not mean get rid of completely. It means taking funds away from policing and giving them to more necessary areas. Defunding is about putting less resources into policing and punitive enforcement, and more resources into communities. Things like affordable housing and mental health services.
Defund the police is such an unfortunate slogan. I mean I can interpret what they mean but we already saw the minny mayor get booed by a crowd when he said: reform not defund. Taking funds out of police budgets and putting it towards more social workers who may better deal with some homeless people calls or some drug calls or some other situations that we unfairly pawn off on the police has worked elsewhere. Camden NJ just had an article written about their success there.
But it seems there was a real danger that this idea could get bipartisan support and go somewhere. And since the goal appears to be never ending partisan conflict rather than accomplishing things, this slogan might have saved the day.

Montreal's police force went on strike for 16 hours in 1969. Looting, rioting and bank robberies instantly went through the roof. The army had to be called in and it was forever known as Montreal's "Night of Terror." I have no issues with additional money being spent on things like mental health and addiction. Police are asked to be psychologists, which they just aren't capable of. That being said people such as the protesters at the Minneapolis rally that shouted at the mayor for not wanting to abolish police entirely, those people are f***ing bonkers.

Did you read the article?
It outlines exactly what happened to a city in the US that has already gone through this.
It doesn’t mean lawlessness.... or no cops. Don’t believe the hype. It will never happen. In a country of guns, you’re going to need to enforce gun control.
