I thought I was for #defundthepolice, but it turns out that I just want to trim the fat.
Are the police necessary? Absolutely, but if you’re going to preach to me about #guncontrol while your small-town police force has BlackOps type of gear for traffic stops, then yes – DEFUND the police.
I’ll be the first to tell you that I hate cops, but they’re essential – not the lethal toys they contain. That’s why we have the National Guard and the other branches of the military, for when sh!t gets real.
So no defunding the police, BUT heavily trim the fat on their choice of weapons.
