This is actually what was the objective of DFTP. They were spending millions of Tax dollars for Military type equipment and using it against even peaceful protesters.Maybe Defund the Police wasn’t such a bad idea? Why fund them if they are cowards?
The Defund was actually a reduction of the over spending and restructuring the Tax dollars to do things like have trained professional respond with them to ppl having mental crisis instead of showing up escalating and killing ppl who were not even armed that were not a threat at the time to anyone when they arrived on the scene. They also wanted to redirect the funds to De-escalation police training, and things like summer camps and programs for kids again. Things like the Police Athletic league.
The result was there were Radical on both political side who went to far scaring ppl into thinking there would be No police force, which was untrue. Then the other side also who had taken it too far and call for no police at all.
