    i agree that defunding the police is a ridiculous proposal.

    abolition would be a compromise.

    every police force in america should be abolished and governments should reconstruct public safety from the ground up with a diversity of jobs that are called on for different issues. "9-1-1" could still be an emergency number but it is up to the switchboard operator to dispatch the proper response teams.

    this is the spearhead to dismantling capitalism in america.

    • defunding isn't what it sounds like according to some memes which is where i get all my newsmoldero
    • defunding police means reducing them to protecting and serving the public like it says on their door, instead of assaulting citizens with military grade weaponsimbecile
    • Haha. Which hunts and mob rule wod definitely destroy capitalism. And the cost of most freedomsdeathboy
    • Colin. Curious where u picture yourself in such an environment. Nothing to be taken? Everything to be gained?deathboy
    • Typical rational people can point out what they gain and what they'd Lose unless trying to decieve. What do u gain?deathboy
    • Why do you think less police would cause witch hunts and mob rule, db? What makes you think that’s a certainty?ben_
    • Because it creates a vacuum to be filled. How'd it work out before police? How does it work out other places leaving policing to citizens. Think congodeathboy
    • I think it is absolutely asinine to pitch and idea without even looking forwarddeathboy
    • Well accept in this case Colin has and he wants chaos to ascend and fall into mob rule and tribes where he thinks he will be offdeathboy
    • Colin didn’t say leave policing completely to citizens. What he’s saying is quite clear, but wait... you think the Congo is comparable on any level to the USA?ben_
    • Well glad you brought it up, considering any citizen policing in the Congo has been happening because they have had leadership so hell bent on their own gainben_
    • That the police and military there have become a tool of the government to oppress its own people. Sounds vaguely familiar, huh?ben_
    • What the hell are u trying to say Ben. Like Colin u haven't said shitdeathboy
    • I only see you admitting as much any blm movement is an oppressive tool of govdeathboy
    • Comprehension isn’t your strong suit, is it?ben_
    • You compared the prospect of citizens policing themselves in USA to the Congo. Do you know anything about the history of the Congo? It doesn’t seem like it.ben_
    • But that doesn’t even matter, because to start you completely misrepresent what Colin is saying in your responses. Read things twice, dude.ben_
    • Lol ben did u say anything at all?deathboy
    • I believe u think u did. But I can't even give a cliffnote of it accept " Nuh uh"deathboy
    • You asking for cliffnotes is a beautiful irony.ben_
    • Here they are for you:
      The Congo has dealt with a tyrannical government for decades. The "official" police serve the interest of the President.      ben_
    • You compared a shift to alternative policing (what colin is talking about) to a country where police are acting out the exact preference that the Trump gov't.ben_
    • has for the role of the police. I pointed out that your comparison is fair, but not for the reason you believe it is.ben_
    • The Congo is a great comparable in that way... Authoritarian Presidential power, with a police force dedicated to upholding that power, along with...ben_
    • ~$0 Social/community health initiative spending = gaps to be filled.ben_
    • Trump would turn the USA into the Congo in a second if you let him.ben_
    • Haha well at least u tried. U fail to realize the democratic process of every leader and as such policingdeathboy
    • The congo a prime example of power without rule of law. Tell me this Ben. What is alternative police bg and how does it work. Give any exampledeathboy
    • You Seem to want to get out of abstract and I to actual process. I'm all earsdeathboy
    • But what you're saying about the congo is simply untrue. There's no point in discussing with you, anyhow I should have known better.ben_
    • you have yet to say what is untrue. or whydeathboy
    • yes my congo is generalization. but what is untrue and its relation to the conversation? that is what you needdeathboy
