This election is really about who loves the police more

    I think when people say defund the police, they mean city budgets. For decades now, many cities have been defunding emergency services and mental health professionals, all to increase the budget for police departments.

    If they defund the police, they can spread the money around and get emergency services back up and running. There is no reason why we should have police being called to situations with suicidal situations and them waving guns around and escalating it. Terms like "suicide by cop" shouldn't even exist.
