I understand “defund the police” isn’t the best language, but where was all the outrage when they were defunding education, defunding Headstart, defunding hunger & anti-poverty programs, defunding violence prevention programs, defunding peace projects & defunding social services?

We're in a generation with severe depression and angry Karen's; defunding the police and allocating those funds to mental health facilities, medical facilties & funds for the arts might be a better fucking idea than arming violent immature police officers that just make it worse.

It is good though, because it scares the cops who are only in it to get a paycheck.
