Defunding the Police Isn’t Deleting Law and Order. Defunding the Militarized Police State is What’s Necessary.

Whenever we are in a recession and budgets are cut, education is crippled while the police budget is untouchable.

How does it make sense that all departments and functions of government share equally in reductions except the Police and the Pentagon whose budgets always get bigger?

When it comes to the Police, we taxpayers pay for the settlements they consistently cause with their excessive use of force.
