Japan doesn’t have an affordable housing issue. How is the police supposed to solve for this or any of your other problems anyway?
Unless you’re insinuating that because Japan is a low crime country it doesn’t need a police force?
- Retric 2y agoDefund the police isn’t an attempt to remove all police officers. The idea is to reduce their numbers so they have less time to ‘waste’ on trivial crimes.
- ithkuil 2y agoWouldn't it be better to have laws that make sense instead of relying on the side effect of the police force being overwhelmed and hence ignores the laws that don't make sense?
- Retric 2y agoHaving fewer police directly saves money so that’s a double win. Further, even reasonable laws can be twisted by a cop with to much time on there hands. Streamlining the legal code isn’t really something individual voters can really accomplish. Look at the slow march if pot legalization and that’s something a significant majority of people supported long before the ball started rolling.
