I understand the critique of #DefundThePolice as a slogan, what I don’t understand is that it’s critics never say what they would do instead. “It’s a bad slogan, so let’s leave policing as it is” is a thousand times worse than any slogan.

I think it’s an unwise slogan because it miscommunicates. Less $ for police wouldn’t have saved George Floyd, Breonna Taylor or Philippe Castille etc. It alone doesn’t get to the core problem: corrupted police culture & inadequate training. #ReformThePolice sounds better to me.

Thank you Marianne!! You a correct. And Obama DID say what needs to be done with regards to the police, I guess Cenk didn’t watch the full clip!!

Hey Marianne this is what republicans were saying about guns: google.com/amp/s/thehill.com… Please stop this mess. And yes less money would have meant a cops would have better things to do than to kneel on someone’s neck for 8 minutes. The policy demand isn’t the problem. Smh

Too wishy washy. And corporate liberals have instilled distrust for the term in just about everybody. Demilitarize is better.

#ReformThePolice has never worked for the past 40+ years. It is time to #DefundThePolice!
