I honestly can't remember off top of my head, but I thought it was a very small amount out there that wanted that which of course hit the news as if it was to be everywhere of course. I could be wrong tho.

As far as I can recall most if not all of the proposals were to move some funding to social workers although there were a couple that wanted to redo the entire police department.  I think a city in New Jersey DID do that actually.  But not to simply cut all the police out.  

Unless were talking the short-lived place in Oregon.

A better title may be; "How petty are human beings?"

But upholding white supremacy, nope, that's challenge lost for me. Hm, that was quicker than I would have hoped for.

Not that the second link isn't a beauty too. What I especially like is how first there was the slogan defund the police. Then there were all the people that explained in length why defund the police apparently does not mean what the word defund literally means. Ah, don't you get that already? And as soon as that was done, there came several democrats that explained, nope we really just want to take their money away. Defund. Hello?

I could dig up worse things from her, that was just a cursory search.  I am constantly fascinated by the fact a person from Austria comprehends these issues better than many Americans.  Maybe it's the distance that gives you a more even perspective?

Possibly, but how well would that have fit in the P&R forum??  You know the rules, there MUST be partisan controversy, or it ain't post worthy..

I don't think my comprehension is the fascinating part in this observation. Aside from that, I guess I'm just not in the bubbles.
