NYPD responds to 600 calls/day to intervene in domestic violence incidents. 'Defund the police' would be catastrophic for victims of domestic violence. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/services/law-enforcement/domestic-violence.page …

Defunding the police doesn't stop them from showing up to a routine 911 call It takes away their military grade weapons and forces them to enforce the law in way that actually serves and protects the community rather than oppresses it
Defunding police means police don't get paid, so they take other jobs, and there are no police to respond to 911 calls. What part of this confuses you?

Police are ineffective and actually harmful in many communities. They also have a long history of violence against the marginalized. If you are interested in alternatives to policing focused on public welfare and harm reduction check this out:https://www.mpd150.com/faq/

Abolish the police and you'll have the Sinaloa cartel taking over control of the neighbourhood instead. Is that better. And people don't rob banks to get food, they do it to get rich. Just line white collar criminals.

not really. i.e trump defunded the cdc by eliminating various response and research units within the cdc. the cdc continues to operate in a reduced capacity. i dont see how the same approach could not be adopted for police.

maybe remove legal funding and pensions from cops who choke people to death. defund their criminal defence and retirement.
