I agree, I'm going to an event later this week. About defunding the police, in 1943 I'm sure families wanted safety and to feel secure, so defunding the police never crossed their minds.
Although coming from a city that did defund the police, I'll say it was for the politicians to have to pay less for the police so they had more money for their special interests. Then they keep spending that money and add more money when they have to hire more police because of the backlash they're getting from the residents, properly owners, and businesses. Or it could be because it's an election year. Sorry for going on.
I agree there's Good and Evil in the world, and that not everyone can see it
But as I'm sure you can figure I am one of those requesting more funding for the police. The chief even knows me by name. 😊🌞
