re: #270 NetworkKed
I totally understand why āDefund the Policeā is a toxic political slogan, one so bad Iām almost afraid it was planted by right-wing ratfuckers.
Any real politician needs to distance themself from it. But to the protestor in the street being harassed by out-of-control over-militarized gonzo racist cops, it sounds like profound truth. Fortunately there are enough people who understand the optics that itās not become as wide a rallying cry as I feared.
ā¦all that said, sensible Americans do need to keep āDefund the (x) Policeā as a tool in their kit. There are departments out there which are such bad actors, removing them and starting from scratch is the only answer.
Susan Sarandon was pushing it.
