Comment on Newsom proposes defunding police, prisons, public safety as California faces massive deficit
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 5 months agoNah. They still push the silliness. I know locally there was an attempt to defund the police. It’s why a right wing mayor was elected. People are tired of the crime.
Personally I am for police reform. Typically that would involve more money to the police but focusing on higher standards and training.

I want shit like this. Since we live in a republic, I vote for people who make sure the police have the tools to do their job.
Luckily, more people agree with me and less with you. That is why we are seeing more funding for the police in most areas.

It’s a democratic republic. You’re voting democratically for elected officials.
It’s sad that you’d rather cops have megatrucks instead of children having education, or addicts having help getting off drugs, or for the police to actually be accountable to their effectiveness to determine their budget, like every other profession. More than you can comprehend , man.
What possible job would these cops need that truck for?
