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?

The only people 'Defunding' education are the administrators and teacher's unions. Not administrator needs a 150k Salary to answer a phone. #CCSD

A thousand years ago, when I was a child, there were social workers who'd actually go to the homes of struggling families to ask what they might need to make their lives easier. The "family values" party think cops are better at keeping families together, it seems.

Simple: There weren't any campaigns to defund these programs. Republicans just did it without asking.
