Calls Grow To Defund, Disband Police Nationally | MTP Daily | MSNBC

    1. Laws are being changed to protect the criminals in court. Democrats love their criminals and illegals.

  1. Or we can take their toys away give them training and education and then call police humanity helpers or something stupid like that. Or the name teachers would work well too. O wait maybe that’s what we need. More education.

    1. In the USA police training takes 13-19 weeks, followed by 6 months on the job training. In most European countries it takes 3-4 years. So European cops get a lot more training.
      Training in de-escalation techniques, courses on dealing with people with psychological problems, how to disarm a confused person without pulling your gun etc.

  2. Fascinating that people think they are going to wake up tomorrow and there aren’t going to be police. Don’t you think there will be planning and attempts at other sorts of community safety projects? Switzerland doesn’t have uniformed police. They blend in with the community and their crime rate is much lower than ours. Of course, Switzerland believes that all people are equal and their neighbors should be treated as humans. Civil War threats, one party system… AKs… violence is embedded into the Trump Party

    1. @Justin H Why would you be afraid if you aren’t doing anything wrong? I’m more afraid of cowards “patrolling” with AKs because they are playing army. The police aren’t going away. There are working on reform including the Democratic cops.

    2. @안 두선 Who says these plain clothes police won’t be patrolling with an Ak? Who says they will only go after people who’ve done wrong? Who will they answer to? Who will be paying them?
      There are plenty of people in the USSR who didn’t do anything wrong but still answered to state security forces.

    3. @Justin H Well, there is the problem with the Trump Party right there… that is how they envision exercising their second amendment right. One party system — AKs for all…

    4. @안 두선 Well if we’re not going to have police I want my right to own a gun, and I still don’t want your secret police posing as ordinary citizens.

  3. Real men was already dealing with that issue so what are y’all talkin about this woman has a tattoo scripted in her chest and no bull earring in her nose think about it real mothers don’t fall for this

  4. What does defund mean ? Dismantling the police force ?
    De militarize maybe, but we cannot completely un fund the police force.

  5. Defund, no. Reform, yes. Who are you going to call when sh!t hit the fan and people are trying to hurt or rob you?? Doesn’t make any sense.

    1. Defund != eliminate. So instead of having massive police departments with tactical grade weaponry, instead take that money and invest in drug programs, mental health programs, jobs programs, etc etc. So the police can actually do their job to catch violent criminals, and not have to deal with all of society’s problems in ways that they aren’t trained for.

  6. Joe Biden Wrote the Crime Bill that is effecting us to day that Bill has put more Black Americans in Prison then any other Bill Look up Joe Biden’s Crime Speech you will love what he say’s

  7. This crazy talk is ONLY coming from High crime Urban areas. The rest of the country is laughing at you idiots.

  8. Their you have it … Katy just said, the crime rate does not follow how many police they have and defunding will not result in people dying.

  9. getting the community to help each other out without enforcer involvement? this really is a civil war.
