The second hashtag in question says: 'reappropriatefundsfromthepolicetosocialservicesbetterabletohandlenonviolentissues'
which is about what Colin is literally saying in that quote.
- zepto 6y agoNo. He is not just talking about reappropriating funds. He is saying the police must be completely abolished. The quote begins “By abolishing policing and prisons...” You seem to have overlooked this somehow. The name he has chosen for his project is: “Abolition for the People, The Movement for a Future Without Policing & Prisons” It couldn’t be any clearer.
- TeaDrunk 6y agoYes, by abolishing policing, you can reappropriate those funds for other projects. This is literally what he's saying. It is literally reappropriating the funds.
- zepto 6y agoNo. Reappropriating funds does not mean abolishing the police. You can reappropriate funds without abolishing the police, for example by reducing their duties. He is saying both abolish the police and reappropriate the funds. They are plainly not literally the same thing.
