I’ve Been Watching With Grave Concern The Calls By Radicals To DEFUND The Police..This is Nothing But A Very Insidious Way Of Destroying The Rule Of Law..Bedrock Of Any Constitutional Democracy...It Is An Open Call To Subervesion & All Law Abiding Citizens Must Stoutly REJECT It.
It Is Nobody’s Case The Police Forces Do Not Need REFORM..But Choking Wherewithal To Police Is Destruction Of Rule Of Law.. We Need Better Paid & Better Educated Policemen Not Lesser..Citizens Do Remember That In A Moment Of Crisis More Often Than NOT We Turn To A Policeman.
In A Moment Of Crisis We Are All Relieved To A See A Policeman..When Heaven & Hell Shake During Earthquakes, Storms, Cyclones & Epidemic It Is The Common Cop Who Often Puts His Life On The Line To Save Yours & Mine..If We Can NOT Show Gratitude Then Lets Not Choke Them Either.

This Is The Moment To Show Real Leadership From The Ground..The Days Of Dosconnect With Your Men & Armchair Leadership Are Behind You..If Not Stopped Now This Surge Will Engulf Us All.
“Defund” means that Black & Brown communities are asking for the same budget priorities that White communities have already created for themselves: schooling > police,etc.
People asked in other ways, but were always told “No, how do you pay for it?”
So they found the line item.

Nikunj please watch the segment by John Oliver about defunding the police to see what it really means. It's on YouTube. Last week with John Oliver. I'm very much in favor or defunding the police.. Time for a systemic change
@NikunjGargN
Majority of Americans would like to see major reforms including disbanding police forces and reestablishing them with officers who can apply for them. The police have been militarized and act with impunity against citizens they are supposed to serve.
@NikunjGargN
Those of us living in the USA as people of color know not to call the police as it will just escalate things and make it worse. There are many instances of force used against Indians. Just Google it. Many of them are white supremacists and psychopaths
@NikunjGargN
Right now in the US, more than 50% of a state's funds goes to police, including funds meant for resolving homelessness, mental health emergencies. Defund the police means taking funds meant for such issues and giving it to apt depts. Defund the police DOESN'T = abolish the police
