Yeah so “defund the police!” Should actually be “fund better police training!” Of course the AOC-type libs are utterly wrong. Biden is right.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> Yeah so “defund the police!” Should actually be “fund better police training!” Most people saying the former would support it being accompanied by the latter, however, they will note that that the past several decades have involved several police reform movements that have driven additional net funding to police at the expense of other local services, contributing to the expansion of police roles. “Defund the police” is about driving down the proportion of local funding consumed by paramilitary law enforcement and, along with it, the scope of responsibility. Increasing the share of those remaining resoueces devoted to training, and even moreso the quality of that training in respect to the remaining role of the paramilitary law enforcement services, is not something “defund" activists oppose, just something that they see as inadequate and not the first priority.
