I hope there is a feminist social worker that shows up to your home when a criminal is trying to break in.

Angela Davis adequately delineates why it is insufficient to evaluate the problems of policing from the perspective of evaluating the behavior of individual officers and correctly gives the discussion the institutional framing it needs to critique law enforcement as an institution. This is the point I've tried to make in my work for years. I wrote about this years ago in my essay "The Myth of the Societal Protagonist Otherwise Known as 'The Good Cop'".

I've read the original MPD plan of action, it doesn't make any sense either, piecing it all together this basic plan is this: Police department is done away with, Money from PD is spent on Schools for education, "hand-up" programs, the stop youth from turning to crime, Social workers replace cops and step in to de-escalate situations, should a crime occur perpetrator is given mental health assistance and rehabilitation not prison, There is no theft prosecution either that is left to insurance companies. The line of thinking is that crime wont happen if you take away the atmosphere that "created it" thus utopia.

Here's a radical idea, Ms. Davis. If you don't want people to think that you want to defund the police, then don't call your movement "Defund the Police." It seems to me that proponents spend about 85% of their time defending their use of a word that does NOT mean what the purport it to mean, and that's time they could be using trying to prop up their absurd idea that calling a mental health counselor will help when someone is breaking into your house or robbing your store.

Angela Davis! Thank you! When I was at University you influenced me now you've opened up another corridor wow! I think something positive may develop out of this, hopefully! I was talking to some young Americans tonight & they can see the problems! But you've got to give them someone relatable to vote for like AOC! We've had crud leaders in new Zealand too! Angela Davis clearly describes things! Violence is scary I've witnessed it & is not the way! Education helps us navigate justice! We just need more objective reasoning & Angela Davis is showing us the path

I have much respect for Angela and I believe she is entitled to her opinion but I can’t fully agree with her on this one. Much criminal behavior is a result of systemic deficiencies. And I agree the penal system should address this, but I don’t believe the police system should be abolished. That will only lead to the privatization of police- where wealthy people can afford to hire private security and those who are poor can not and will be exploited. Sorry Davis but we don’t live in a fairy tale of black and white solutions. Society will never reach the ideal pinnacle where there would be absolutely no need for police because you are failing to realize that not all crime comes from deficiency or mental health issues. Some people are just greedy. Like all those people on Wall Street who are wealthy but who still break the law to obtain more wealth. All the mental health funding in the world won’t stop those people from committing crime. I think that this push for abolition of police is inherently wrong (at least in this case) because the assumption that all crimes are committed by lower class, underprivileged, unintelligent people is inherently wrong.

If you think lowering taxes are a way of increasing your income then you don't understand economics. The Government creates it's own money through the fed, it doesn't need your taxes to fund it. Taxes are used to control inflation. Increasing taxes lowers inflation and decreasing taxes increases inflation. The government doesn't spend your taxes. When you are taxed the government takes that money out of circulation, it deletes those dollars. When the government spends it creates money, it prints dollars. The government could lower taxes, but that would just increase inflation and therefore you are left with the same value of money in your pocket.

How are you saying its not about dismantling when you're saying abolish the police. Defunding is taking the cops off the street. We need law enforcement. It bugs me how we are even having this conversation. We call the cops when we get attacked or have trouble,but don't want them around on a daily basis? I don't care how famous you are, you are wrong to say it.
