Yeah, I tried watching that and couldn't get past 15 minutes. When he started arguing that removing a domestic abuser from his home and putting him in jail would deprive the wife and children of possibly their sole source of income, he lost me. Is he effing kidding? Maybe this liberal should consider that expanding safety nets, including programs specifically aimed at supporting people in that circumstance, are a better idea than leaving the abuser at home.
The problem with this "defund" movement is that it's long on rhetoric and emotion and short on specific ways to handle certain problems without police. They don't want any police, but they can't get around the fact that you need armed police in some situations.
I agree with the premise that some times unarmed specialists should be doing what we're having the police do. We need to figure out when we need police and when we do not, and put forth a concrete set of proposals. Because this rhetoric is ridiculous, and is toxic in this election season.

I put the disclaimer in for a reason. The one thing I didnt want to post paragraphs about was summed up by this guy.
The rest I have no opinion on yet and have not come close to finishing the video. I tend to watch a video like this in chunks.
I haven't thought about a system drastically different than the one we have until recently. Should have .... we have locked up way to many people . It's clear we need change but that that looks like I guess is what we all need to figure out.
Business and technology I get. Understanding major social issues is something I strive get beter at.

Well, finally, the kid posts links like damned near every adult does when making statements of "fact." Way to grow up....maybe.
But given your insults, I suppose adult maturity is well beyond your mental capacity.
And let me expound further....it's typically common courtesy, something adults tend to use, to link to an article when stating something that happened/etc. It's just an adult thing to do.... It's not spoon feeding, it's just common courtesy and it also happens to buttress your arguments (in this case, there were no arguments to be made since you were simply talking about news. I just cannot fathom why you resisted posting a single damned link to one single outlet providing the news. Guess you're just that way.....)
But in your case, I suppose you're one of those that make claims and then demand everyone else Google around to find what you're talking about. Granted, the stories about the Minneapolis police quitting were out there....in fact, I'd already read about it prior to your post. But that's irrelevant. It's the responsibility of the one making the post to provide a link to what's being posted.
Personally, I do like to see where others get their news. It does make a difference. For instance, in an article I read today referencing Trump's water drinking, the author included this seemingly benign one word description of Twitter---liberal Twitter. Describing Twitter as liberal is just a way to discredit Twitter, or try to influence one's opinion of it. The word liberal was unnecessary unless the author was trying to subtly influence one's opinion of Twitter, esp. given Trump's lashing out at the app for "correcting" one of his tweets.
But.....common courtesy, adult thinking and actions, both seem beyond your comprehension and abilities. Your life really must be rather sad.
Again, tho....thanks for the links.

You have the nerve to talk about mental capacity, common courtesy, adult thinking and actions?
Folks,look at this individual's "adult thinking and actions", in his own words.
From Google - fudge packer (plural fudge packers) (slang, derogatory) A male homosexual. (slang, derogatory) A person who practices anal sex. Used other than with a figurative or idiomatic meaning: see fudge, packer.
BTW, did you post any link to support your assertion? You were saying something about adult maturity and courtesy?
Do as you say and not as you do, eh? Rather sad, no pathetic indeed.

Also for you to be upset about something she said to Shorty goes directly to character......maybe you need to go check the ATOT LOst and Found?
Then again your petty little arguments that you cannot seem to live without goes directly to the fact that it would appear you need attention and once again you are trying to make this about you!! "Attention whore" come to mind.....lets Google that since it seems you have a new found toy --

So take your post and shove it. You were saying about "attention whore"? Uh huh. Those that live in the glass house shall NOT cast the first stone.
As I said, do as you say and not as you do, eh? Rather sad, no pathetic indeed.
One more thing, still no link and nothing about what you said how parents just want to break into houses to get some foods to feed their hungry children? Nothing still? LOL. Keep trying.

This is merely placation to deal with one of the world's greatest unfocused collective temper tantrums and red herrings to have ever come out in recent memory. Pour more money into social services, rehabilitation, and other so-called "healing institutions" instead of the punitive institution called the police.
Wouldn't be surprised if countless files and evidence get "accidentally" lost in the process. A front for a cover-up from further investigation.
It's easy to vent. It's easy to take a knee. It's not easy to take over the influence of a local jurisdiction to make it change the laws. It's not easy to understand the source of the problem before fixing, especially when a the victimized collective is so psychologically sensitive to nuanced thought that they do not understand the foundation of what enables police corruption, of which racism is not a necessary component. .
The tree is merely being pruned, not cut down, and the victims don't know how to get them to cut it down.

It seems like Bernder (CNN interview that sparked the current media hype) seems to be walked back that language after the Fox and Co. used it out of context. I believe her intent was to signal to her community that we aren't taking about status quo changes and instead we need to rethink our system.
As for not having any armed police, i don't see any people in positions of power saying that. Armed police are needed just way fewer of them. We also need to stop locking up so many people.
A good first step might be to stop putting people behind bars for drug use.

The problem is the way they framed it to the public. None the people who advocate "defunding" are willing to say, "I realize we still need armed police in some situations" because they think that is going to piss off certain protesters. Well, they need to come out and say that, because the way they framed it has confused people who are concerned about scenarios like when someone breaks into their house.
And it doesn't help matters that when she was asked on CNN, she responded that the expectation of protective service was a function of "white privilege" instead of just saying, of course you are going to have that emergency response under the new system. That was not reassuring.
My argument all through this thread is not that what they will actually do is necessarily unreasonable, it's that their messaging is influenced by wanting to appease a fringe who at the moment have convinced themselves that a country without police is better than one with police. And consequently, they are saying things which alienate the majority of people who recognize the need for some police. And that this can and will be used by Trump and the GOP as a cudgel against democrats this election season.

I would have to look back but i believe I agreed with you. If not, I agree with you. What she was even weaponized against her and she seems to have realized that. The people opposing her actual message are experts in misinformation. She seems young, extremely neive and just got a taught a tough life lesson.
Thought on my proposed first step?

The police do not operate in a vacuum. They are part of a larger "justice system" that warehouses more people of color, and indeed more people period than anywhere else in the world.
Our culture is obsessed with blame and punishment. It has not proven to be a deterrent.
While it sounds nice and edgy and progressive to defund and rebuild the police, it ignores the larger picture.
We fail at taking care of our own. Nobody wants to foot the bill up front.

this is a great thread on LA's PD Money sink, showing the budget increases between 2013 and today, some things that will make you raise an eyebrow or two
and people were saying we need to pay them more so we get good ones that will not abuse us? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And they intentionally understaff to pay massive amounts of over time. Probably not a great idea to over work someone in a stressful job on a department with a very troubled history. At least they are dressed nice, have top notch weapons and a nice ride.
