What's your solution, bro? Offer a solution instead of criticism, bro. I'll give you some of my solutions, bro. More funding and training for police, BUT how about we end the drug war and stop imprisoning less 9f our people. We could fund so many more programs to keep people out of prison and keep them from being criminals. Yes these are solutions to work towards instead of blaming people for shit and pointing fingers.

Another reply from me.

"Defund the police", is about the dumbest political slogan I've ever heard in life. And I ain't new here.

Too much to unpack from that phrase. You and I know the idea is to divert police funding to more appropriate responders.

And yes, drop the drug war. That's not gonna fly because it's an effective way to lock up "undesirables". Read: "POC, white trash, anyone we don't like."
