5% of all arrests in America are for violent crime and fewer than 1% are for murder. If that’s your argument, then you should at least be in support of cutting police budgets by 95-99%. https://twitter.com/germanrlopez/status/1268408728950394882 …
The solution to the problem you just described is not to reduce policing. It's to legalize marijuana possession.

Yes but then what do you do with the extra police capacity? You can reduce it or redirect it. And if you reduce proportionally you still have the same capacity to traffic murder etc.

You can reduce it after changing the law, if you think it doesn't deter other crime. Bottom line is, even if only X% of the force works on serious crime, 100%-X% deters serious crime. That seems pretty logical to me and I'm unclear why are continuing to argue about it.
