  24. Yeah.. I mean.. I totally get where she's coming from and all that, and I absolutely agree that we need to seriously reimagine what policing in America looks like, but I don't believe completely getting rid of all policing is the solution. It's absolutely impossible to get rid of all crime, so we do need law enforcement to do just that - enforce the law. I'm totally for the concept of dradtically shrinking the police funding and number of police, and instead offer strong social programs that prevents crime from happening.. but even in the most utopic and safe world, crime will never be eradicated. We should absolutely focus more on prevention, that's key to true reform and justice.. but that's complicated, and requires reform on not just policing, but every other aspect of governing. That includes ensuring affordable and quality housing for every single person, ensuring affordable/free, quality and accessable health care to again literally every single person, ensuring every single person quality employment with quality pay, the list goes on.. you get the idea. The thing is though, even with all these things in place, you'll never be able to 100% prevent all crime. Proper policing is not just about preventing crime, but bringing justice when it occurs, which it always inevitably will. That's just the sad reality. We need reasonable solutions that actually makes sense. American policing today is totally indefensable, and it needs to drastically and systematically change. We need to look more at alternatives to deal with homeless people, domestic disputes, drug issues, mental health crisis', and all non-violent offenses, but as well look critically at all existing laws, and reevaluate what we deem illegal and not. Prison reform is also massively important, as well as complete drug reform. Policing is a massive issue, but by far not the only issue. Police unions needs drastic change as well. I just think that colmpletely aboloshing the police isn't reasonable.. a dradtic reduction on the other hand is reasonable AND necessary. Redistributing funding is as well - that's one of the more attainable solutions to the issue at large. Social programs supporting lifting people up and out of desperation, homelessness, health issues including drug addiction and all of these things are real solutions that can be done. Completely aboloshing the police simply isn't realistic. I certainly wish that COULD be a reality, but that's wishful thinking. We need to look at other solutions. I recommend looking at how other countries, those with the least amount of crime are doing policing.. they're obiviously doing something right, and have figured out great stuff that America hasn't yet. That includes getting money and "lobbying", aka legal bribery out of politics, so real solutions CAN take place, instead of quality, meaningful policies being dead at arrival due to police unions, prison "lobbyists" etc. bribing politicians to not change anything. Money in politics is what we keep coming back to - it truly is the root of all evil, and the thing that mostly obstructs progress from taking place.

  26. Logical? Nah. I mean.. I totally get where she's coming from and all that, and I absolutely agree that we need to seriously reimagine what policing in America looks like, but I don't believe completely getting rid of all policing is the solution.

  41.  @Smulpaap123  That's just bullshit. Excuse me, but that's complete bullshit. - outsider looking in, myself. The point in impeachment is not only getting someone out of office, that's already done, so that's not the problem. The problem is setting a precedent and holding someone accountable, as well as preventing someone from holding office again (+ the country not wanting to pay even more taxes to someone that doesn't care about the tax payers at all, considering amongst other things that he's barely paid taxes). THAT'S THE POINT. Also, blaming democrats for this is like blaming a rape victim for being raped. Do you remember (most) democrats/liberals actually giving him a fair chance at holding the office with respect? They did that, but now that they've done that for too long they have no choice but to go down hard in this. To show that this is not okay. We're not talking about jaywalking here. This is big stuff. Holding someone accountable does not equal disregarding unity. The democrats tried teaching for unity and some common ground when the former "president" took office, DESPITE him actually losing the popular vote. This time, despite Biden actually WINNING the popular vote, republikkkans refuse to even give the new leaders a chance. Answer me this - how is THAT helping to unify ANYTHING? Stop blaming democrats/libs for everything while not expecting the same from republikkkans. You KNOW* that if the tables were flipped, republikkkans would have a completely different tone than they do now. How can you claim you want unity when "your" (not saying yours personally) party promotes dangerous lies about fraud that have been disproven time and time again AND several republikkkans (both regular citizens and politicians) speak about medieval executions, like hanging their opponents? PLEASE TELL ME HOW THAT IS SUPPOSED TO UNIFY ANYONE BECAUSE I CAN'T, AND NO OTHER REASONABLE HUMAN BEING CAN. PLEASE. TELL. ME. -edit, writing error.
