As we know, words by themselves can be violence. Therefore bad journalists are violent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 52 minutes ago, Motorin' said: It's a local issue for local communities to decide. A case can be made for shifting budgets to address non-criminal community issues that too often police are called to resolve. Abolish the police? No. Stop asking police to do the jobs of social workers? Maybe. The devil's on the details. In theory yes, but it would take about 20 minutes before a social worker was beaten to death on a call by some low-rent scumbag. But we can pretend those problems don't exist so long as we can call the police to deal with it. 1 hour ago, Just Joshin' said: Not at all and can see no redeeming value. Trying to understand why anyone would think it is a good idea. The libs on here may be able to help with their POV. The problem is none of the libs here (or at least none of the half dozen or so who spam here regularly) have an actual POV. They are just click monkeys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Defend the police? Damn right I defend the police. They have a very hard job and need our support! Huh? What? Oh.....never mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, as you say, he is upset about it, maybe he'll actually get the all Democrat controlled legislature to put together an actually reasonable bail reform bill.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I support it. It would free up a spot on my very full speed dial list. I have 911 in as #743. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 1 hour ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...a woefully sick lib response to turn over the reigns to anarchy.....they are inept in confronting the problem head on so they bail as usual......ICE resistance, sanctuary cities, homelessness, defecating in the streets/establishments, allow to steal $945 in goods ...elect the weak who have no ability to come up with constructive solutions....they just cave and bail....we're screwed....throw in funding illegal immigrants with taxpayer dollars, etc... Why $945? Is this like the casinos where there is a threshold and then they have to withhold taxes over that threshold? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 1 minute ago, Uncle Joe said: Why $945? Is this like the casinos where there is a threshold and then they have to withhold taxes over that threshold? Well, if they steal over that amount (in MSRP) then they’re required to file a 1099 form with their tax Returns and are subject to state and federal taxes on the amount OVER the MSRP. Of course it’s raycyst because it could impose an unconstitutional burden on a certain segment of our population of looters who don’t pay taxes, don’t know where the DMV is located, can’t get a photo ID, don’t use the USPS or the Internet because they are too poor to have an email address and an ISP. But man, do they dig those 55” 4K HDTVs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Joshin' Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 So as I suspected there are many reasons NOT to defund the police = not one person has made an argument on why this is a good thing. Where are the resident libs? Trying to have a conversation here, no judgements even though I do not agree with the defunding movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are the resident libs? Trying to have a conversation here, no judgements even though I do not agree with the defunding movement. To be serious... The main reason is that people believe that police do not stop crimes, merely report it and investigate after the fact (excluding riots). The current democrat talking point is that they will replace Law enforcement with social workers. Ironically, they are protesting to make citizen arrests the norm.
