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.

Clearly you have no interest in reading the link I shared above, it might challenge all that sweet, sweet confirmation bias.

I read the link. Local gangs will take over control once they gaim the monopoly of violence they will ruthlessly exploit it for their own self interest. You will have Crips and Bloods controlling the streets, not a loving community of peaceful neighbours.

In black neighbourhoods yeah, it'll be crips and bloods. In hispanic neighbourhoods it'll be latino gangs and in white neighbourhoods white gangs. All the same. None of them will be preferable to the police.

If you think abolishing the police doesn't come with a plan to avoid chaos you definitely didn't even open the link. Here I'll make it easy for you:pic.twitter.com/iIqvqSs7kN

You really need to read 'The Blank Slate' by @sapinker. Or re-read it until you understand that violence isn't just cultural.

You think Epstein wouldn't have committed those crimes if there was no police?
