    I don't understand the issue you guys have with this tweet. Isn't he saying defund the police and invest in social workers? What's the problem?

      He's being sarcastic here and mocking the arguments for defunding the police

      I understand your confusion because he is sort of suggesting that defunding the police and investing in social services has already occurred and that led to the failure of the local police service to deal with the right wing protestors, when it obviously hasn't occurred and in fact better and more equitable social services would likely reduce the allure of the right.
