What political beliefs are you referring to? The one about SF's crime wave sounds precisely on topic, for example.
Edit: those downvotes were very quick.

- vkou 3y agoThe piss on the homeless views always get aired whenever a homeless person does something bad, or is accused, without evidence of doing something bad. It's couched in 'the woke are ruining everything letting murderhobos run rampart' rhetoric. Sometimes with a helping of 'the police are completely unable to function if we subject them to any oversight, or hold them accountable to the rule of law.' You see this take very frequently on <your local city subreddit>.
- uoaei 3y agoIf you talk to actual cops, they're burnt out and quiet quitting like the rest of us. Scope creep has been marching steadily over the past decades: we're asking them to do too much; they're not trained for many of the kinds of interactions that they find so taxing. It would be better for everyone if they offloaded that work to others who are better qualified. This means giving police less money, and giving other services more money.
