Neil D BS: Black Lives Matter - change on the way? (513* d) RE: BS: Black Lives Matter - change on the way? 08 Jun 20


I'm actually surprised that WAV's posts are able to make it through the shimmering veil that separates us from whatever alternative universe he lives in.
Let's say your house catches on fire, but when the fire department comes out, they start at the other end of the street doing home inspections, because, after all, all houses matter.
Donuel, you said "Defunding should be a less funding with funding of education instead.imo". There are actually two schools of thought on defunding. The more extreme view is a total defunding of departments but more defunders are asking for exactly what you describe. The Minneapolis city council, however, has voted to eliminate their police department entirely. The question becomes: To be replaced by what? There are still going to be people who rob, rape, kill and get into barfights on Saturday night. Will we see a new industry of private police forces available for hire, a disconcerting thought. Just look at the abuses in the privately owned prison industry.
