What do they mean? I’m guessing your answer is something like “reallocate police funds to other services”, but without your own explanation, this comment has little value other than signaling political belief.
- pydry 4y agoIt means reallocating funds and responsibilities to social services. Or, firing entire police departments and building a new one from scratch with a different mandate - like the wildly successful Camden NJ experiment.
- kbelder 4y agoIt does mean that now, after a couple years of fervent back-tracking. That was not the initial implication nor inference.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoDo you have any evidence of that? I've always assumed it was just a snowclone of "Defund the IRS" and various other things that people wanted to show disapproval of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowclone https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowclone
- pydry 4y agoA lot of people have been trying to misdefine and mischaracterize it from the very start. Largely people who get angry at the idea that black lives might matter.
- DiggyJohnson 4y ago> Largely people who get angry at the idea that black lives might matter. This is an incredibly disappointing thing to read. Just because you disagree with another on some policy or political notion or another does not justify the belief that they hold a differing view for the most despicable reason you can come up with. Does that make sense?
