Other Paul: Never, NEVER walk into a situation and assume you understand it better than the people who live there.

I live close enough to the 3rd precinct building in Mpls to have found charred bits of buildings in my yard. That’s my neighborhood that burned. So hear me when I say: We blame the police for deliberately inciting this violence and then fleeing instead of protecting us.

You say “ask them to refuse to respond.” Guess what? That’s already happening: Minneapolis police deliberately withhold services when they don’t like council members’ votes: https://twitter.com/cunninghammpls/status/1267920374207037448?s=21 …https://twitter.com/CunninghamMPLS/status/1267920374207037448 …

We don’t need to see what happens if police stop protecting us; that’s already happening. “Defund” doesn’t mean “replace it with nothing;” it means “move funding to other things that actually help.”

Your proposed experiment is this not really useful; it’s a bad faith heckle. A better experiment would be “make the police donate their budget to orgs and programs the community actually wants.”
