"We should redirect the billions that now go to police departments toward providing health care, housing, education and good jobs. If we did this, there would be less need for the police in the first place."https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/opinion/sunday/floyd-abolish-defund-police.html …

Not enough. Redirect more from DoD and the wars and the debt we pay for those wars. End the trade deals that only benefit corps and Wall st and reform health care. We spend way too much without universal coverage. Outsourcing? Build local economies.

The good news is that abolitionism is actually a total project. It involves dismantling the carceral state and the military industrial complex. It involves anti-capitalist economics. Abolitionism is a comprehensive approach to societal transition.

"Policing" we do not need; "Peacemakers," perhaps.

A person tried to break into my home last month. I didn’t need a peacekeeper. I needed law enforcement with gun, since I didn’t carry one.The country my parents migrated from, the police are so negligent, you’d have to take law into your own hands.I’m grateful for the good cops.

Can’t agree on this one. We want to “demilitarize” and hold the police accountable. Eliminating the police is decisive and just plain stupid.
