      That’s not what defunding the police means. It means shifting funding from what is currently the police to social worker and other programs that don’t roll up to every problem thinking that force and guns are the most likely solution.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/05/defunding-the-police-us-what-does-it-mean …

      That’s not what the word “defund” means. To defund is to stop paying for something, entirely.

      Even if we were to fully defund the police (which may be the best avenue), we would replace it with alternative programs that do a better job, one of which would be a much smaller and properly trained group authorized to use force in those rare cases that need it.

          Oh yes, getting rid of police will totally stop crime from happening. It's magic!

          Has anyone suggested that would happen? No, didn't think so. We need something BETTER than the police (social services, community investment, and yes, a specialized group that can still use force, but not abuse their power).

          Yes, exactly. A smaller, better trained, properly accountable, and MUCH LESS LIKELY TO ABUSE THEIR POWER "police" that can tackle only the most extreme cases. Glad you get it.

          Serious question, what happens when a wellness check or maybe a call out to a domestic dispute goes sideways and a social worker gets attacked. Would it be better to pair them up or is it something a social worker goes to alone? Mental health needs better attention

          Does that mean if someone breaks into my home while I’m in bed and I call 911, a social worker will come and read poetry to the perp?

          Did you read his Tweet? There is still a trained group that is available to respond to home invasion type stuff. Nowhere does he suggest a social worker responds with a Care Bear Stare. You are purposely misreading a tweet to have something to get mad about.

          I think you need a better term than "defund" then. I propose "focus the police".
