Just how stupid do you have to be to want to "defund police"?

[Integrityrespec]

Large groups around the country, particularly in the most liberal run cites across America are taking action on defunding police. How stupid are these people? Exactly who do they think will deal with crime? I love the term "community policing", but it means not a darn thing in stopping crime and especially violent crime.

Trump tried the fear-mongering. Didn't work for him.

And here is a counterbalance to your disinformation.....

There's a growing call to defund the police. Here's what it means | CNN

Instead of funding a police department, a sizable chunk of a city's budget is invested in communities, especially marginalized ones where much of the policing occurs.

When you think about it, an awful lot of money goes to my Baltimore police department. What do they have to show for it? Lots of overtime and record-breaking violent crime. Not much else. There has to be a better way, cause this ain't it.

I guess as stupid as those who try to define 'defund the police' incorrectly. I don't know why it's an issue for them, they've been voting to defund education for years.

"Defund the police" was a damaging thing for the democratic ticket. It cost democrats a lot of votes.

It was something thought up by maybe a dozen leftwing extremists.

But somehow it stuck to democrats.

This stupid...

Portland city commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty has spearheaded the movement to defund the police, and has even demanded that vichy “mayor” Ted Wheeler hand her control of the police bureau.

So imagine the surprise when Hardesty called the police in neighboring Clark County, Washington, during a Lyft ride home from a casino. Her Majesty was not content with the Lyft driver following company protocols and leaving the windows cracked a little bit. Evidently Her Highness started throwing a temper tantrum, and the Lyft driver pulled off at a gas station and ended the ride.

Hardesty refused to get out of his car.

Both parties ended up placing calls to the police.

A Lyft ride Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty ordered from the ilani Casino ended in dueling 911 calls when she refused to get out of the car, audio obtained by KOIN 6 News revealed.

The November 1 ride began when Lyft driver Richmond Frost picked up a passenger named “Jo Ann” at the casino. Frost kept the windows cracked — COVID protocols put in place by the ride share company — and Hardesty complained.

The ride went downhill from there and Frost decided to cancel the ride. He pulled off into a Chevron station at an I-5 exit ramp in Ridgefield. But Hardesty refused to get out of the car and called 911 at 9:48 p.m.

Hardesty told the 911 dispatcher he dropped her off “in the dark at a filling station. And I’m not getting out. Not happening. All because I asked him to put the window up.”

The dispatcher told her “technically it’s his property and there’s no crimes involved.” Hardesty said Frost canceled her ride “and I’m just going to sit here until he gets me another ride.”

Maybe she should have asked the police to send out a social worker.
