I understand “defund the police” isn’t the best language, but where was all the outrage when they were defunding education, defunding Headstart, defunding hunger & anti-poverty programs, defunding violence prevention programs, defunding peace projects & defunding social services?

Marianne, “defund the police” is great language! It’s clear, has intent, and can easily be coupled with “refund education and anti-poverty programs”

This is a solid argument for defunding.https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1270145838237523975?s=19 …

We've been trying to reform since 1894. Every phase of reform ends up giving police more money and more power.https://twitter.com/theoc2ps/status/1271741194041724928?s=19 …

Not an insult, just an observation. I hear a lot of privileged people treating “defund police” like a slogan instead of a demand, and I can’t help think it’s due the limiting influence of white supremacy. “Defund the police” is a policy demand that transcends those limitations.

David Sirota made a great point: former WI gov Scott Walker is now on here saying “I’m for reforming the police, not defunding!” The genius of the tactic is that it has a neanderthal like Scott Walker calling for police reform.

My phrase would be ‘Defund the police, Re-fund our communities’. Take that phase to the #2020 election coz we need the Dems to win it.
