Defund the Police

Yes its a legitimate concern! I mean, no one's going to zero them out (I don't mean no activists want to, I mean no city council and mayor will do so). But we've already seen city councils vote to reduce police funding in the last few days, at least I think I read that some where.

I'm waiting for our leftward voices here to let us know whether the defunding of police should be a "legitimate concern", for those who would consider a defunded police force to be concerning. Just curious how we should calibrate our thresholds for legitimacy of concern.

Since all police are bastards it would be more of an illegitimate concern.
(Note: I don't actually think all police are bastards. It's a pun.)

We already know what it looks like, since this was all beta tested in Portland.
Sort of. The problem in PDX is that as hard as the city tries, they cannot recruit sufficient numbers of new candidates.
It wouldn't be such a bad job, actually. City council hates you, most progressives hate you, street people hate you, your dog will hate you, wife runs away. But other than that. . . nice uniform, in a ninny sort of way. -
Did anybody else notice there weren’t any caucasians in the police free utopia?

In case anyone is curious how this would work....
I always cringe when somebody uses the word "community". It's almost (but not quite) as bad as "ally".

Um that’s what a religious cult looks like.
(Until you get on the inside) -
In utopia...one of them wakes up to find a burglar (obviously white) in their house (obviously without a door or locks) taking all of their stuff (obviously quinoa and Birkenstock’s), so they decide to call the police (a chicken in the backyard they’ve named Mrs. Justice) and in no surprise to anyone, the chicken doesn’t help.
