"Biden didn't call to defund the police." Why are you lying, Chris? Or do you expect us not to understand that "redirecting funding" (which he is on video agreeing to) isn't the exact same thing? Go to CNN, you've lost all credibility.

Trump was also right about them lying to us about how many people actually have Covid, and how many are actually dying from it. Do your research next time, Chris!

@capcrunch7838 They're absolutely the same thing, yes. If they're getting less funding, they will have less funding, which is the entire essence of defunding them.

@EmyNemi And then less, and then less, and then less until there's practically nothing and they can't operate at all. And of course, "defunding" need not mean defunding completely. Biden has already committed to removing much-needed funds from our police depts. and just expecting that they won't be worse off for it.

@BLTspace The funding for what's keeping people safe? No, we shouldn't be removing that... ...And I shouldn't have to be telling you that, either.

@snortymcsnortface Which wouldn't make any sense either. If they're already doing well, they don't need more funding. If they're struggling, we should figure out what they need (which will inevitably cost money) and fix it. Not just let it all rot. Have we learned absolutely nothing from CHAZ/CHOP?

@FlamboyanToPossuM The cops have always filled the need for the violent approach, for those who refuse to listen to reason (which is most criminals while they're in the act). But, I'm on board with teaching them new ways that could lead to fewer incidents where someone dies/is injured. It will still, however, be about use of force. We're going to have to understand that, and raise our kids to understand that as well.

@FlamboyanToPossuM That's all fine and good. But the answer is not to remove funding, or to try and separate everything into different jobs. That's not realistic, and it will only lead to more problems. I'm on board with better training, as is Trump (obviously), but there shouldn't be any talk about moving funding away from the departments that are struggling.

@BLTspace "Do you want to endlessly grow our police force?" Do you really think that's a problem? Because what I see is the populations growing (everywhere!) and yet people talking about spending less money on the police, which makes zero sense. "How many cops do you want in your city?" Enough to keep it safe. "It's like our military... we could cut a 100 billion right now off that budget and nobody would even know the difference." Not immediately, no. But let's not get into pretending that we know, one way or the other, what the threat against America really entails and therefore how much money our military needs. "There's towns in the middle of nowhere with populations of like 2 and their police force still has military grade equipment and toys... its overkill and not needed." Perhaps, but alas the first departments being targeted are in cities that are densely populated and overrun with crime. "More police doesn't = less crime." Not in and of itself, but with proper training, yes. And I do recall when I was a child growing up in the ghetto, cops seemed afraid to patrol in our neighborhood and as a result crime was UP. But again, you don't have to have that shared experience; you could just look at the wonder that was CHAZ/CHOP but you refuse to do so. "I can't stand biden this isn't a candidate issue. Whoever is president it doesn't matter... funds go everywhere but the bottom. Not better schools or social programs. Not mental health or health in general... nothing. Schooling, health, economy, community, wages... etc... every single one of these can also effect crime rates ffs." Yes, and the work Trump has done on the economy has probably literally saved lives. But yeah, I'm not here to argue that Trump is perfect either. It's just that he's right on this issue, and several other key issues hurting America right now.
