The fact that Mr. Shumaker listed other so-called Socialist countries like Norway or Commie ones like China as having police departments, and no one there is calling for their defunding there shows the grift in this whole BLM ("Buy Large Mansions") and DSA movements. It is a front, as it almost always is with the semantically overloaded words and terms of the Left, for their real goals which they will discuss in their meetings or in online conference chats. There is always something behind, these people's "behinds" and in the case of "Defund the Police" they are making use of a uniquely American history of race relations to enact the same old tired Marxist revolutionary goals of eliminating our way of life and replacing it with whatever ideologically driven fantasy they have of an ideal American life. The goals is always the same, the grift is the variable.

I think the Republican candidates are really going to hit this point hard. Everything about the Defend the Police (and presumably replace them with social workers) is totally bonkers. So many of our large cities have become absolute pits because low-lives will commit crimes with impunity. It's just a host of human parasites who feed off the wealth of the city and make the place unlivable.

Honestly, this problem has gotten so bad, Republicans should go on the offensive and push for a beefed up, stricter law enforcement. Build more prisons, hire more cops, impeach leftist judges, and shame these pieces of trash for the whole public to see. Along with mass deportation, mass incarceration would trigger a true American Renaissance. The bleeding hearts were wrong and they have no business even running for office. No one should sympathize with criminals.

Steps.

Disarm the public.

Eliminate the police protection of the public.

Import barbarians to ruthlessly brutalize the public.

Take over everything once the legacy citizens are a remnant.

Before Robert Peel started the first modern police force, the police were defunded. From that utopia, one might ask, why were they funded in the first place?

Progressivism is what happens when life is too good and the cranks have nothing else to whine about.

It's like gout, obesity, or diabetes. It hits the self-indulgent the worst.

In California I believe it became legal to shoplift up to $100 and not get arrested. Did that stop shoplifting? No, some establishments were forced to close their doors. Could shop lifting stats have gone down in California? Certainly, because now people could steal and not be held accountable.
