Defined the police! Defund the police!
(Signs huge dollar bill for more police protection)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The bill, as I understand it, sets out proposals to invest in ..."more police officers, more nurses, more counsellors, more social workers or community violence interrupters to help resolve issues before they escalate into crimes"
Which is precisely what the 'defund the police' movement had been pushing for. To reallocate resources to include community support, more funding for social & youth services etc.

That's not defunding the police then. In fact that's giving the police more money (funding more police officers), while also funding other things. Why do they shoot themselves in the foot like this. Why give such an obviously confrontational and ridiculous name to that idea?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'defunding the police' movement was not about completely stripping resources from police departments. But to reallocate funds to other areas *as well as" increasing the effectiveness of the police (training etc).
Terminology aside, it (on the face of it) looks like a positive measure.

Defunding the police doesn't not necessarily mean less police or less money for police. Educate yourself.
Regular people don't know how much money govt has. The usual excuse for sending cops to social situations was always they there was no money to hire social workers and medical experts to send to those situations.
So people suggested taking some funds meant for police and getting people more suited to some of the jobs police have been doing. If they have enough money to support police and still bring in social workers and paramedics then thats great. Doesn't mean you hate police. Just saying sending police to some situations is not working and is asking for trouble. How many mentally ill people must police unnecessarily kill before this sinks in?

Defunding the police is not a phrase that explains itself just by reading it.
You have to apply some level of critical thought and use mental calories to understand it and this is precisely why we see confusion on this issue from some of our right leaning brothers.

You don't know or care what defund the police means, which explains this laughable attempt at making a point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Self proclaiming stuff again. Congrats.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think you know what self proclaiming means but I'll indulge you and say thank you very much.
I was trying to be modest but you've insisted so much that I think its time I accepted and hereby proclaim that I'm the greatest.

I agree with ttliv insofar as the use of the term ‘defund’ doesn’t do justice in representing what are excellent, evidence-based arguments with the potential to do great social good.

There are 184 countries around the world petitioning for the US embargo on Cuba to end.
It isn’t a political matter as much as it is a humanitarian one.
The UN has passed resolutions for *29 years in a row* demanding that the US ends the blockade on international legal and humanitarian grounds.
At the last vote Israel and the US voted against, three countries abstained, and every other UN-recognised country in the world voted for.

In simple figurative language, my understanding of "Defund the Police", is more along the lines of spend some of the money you use to buy sticks to buy carrots.

A lot of people only understand a slogan. They can't read past it or look at what the actual campaign means, they will only ever take their initially face value interpretation.
It's why slogans like 'Brexit means Brexit', 'Get Brexit Done', 'Make America Great Again' etc are so effective (despite having little substance behind them), yet the same people who fall for them also can't get their heads round 'Black Lives Matter' or 'Defund the Police' actually having a deeper meaning.
