These people are insane. Even the ones not causing violence have the most insane ideas and beliefs; like you just pointed out. They would be the first to get their asses kicked or even get killed in the utopian anarchist society they want.

It really is ridiculous.What do they think the child molesters rapists and murderers are going to do when there's no more cops to stand in their way.I think they need better training and a zero tolerance rule for police brutality but getting rid of them all together is just a really stupid idea.

Decades of brainwashing from leftist education, media, and power-hungry democrats.

"Peaceful" Protesters is being shoved down our throats from every news network. I haven't heard a single one not use it.

They have reporters at these dangerous riots where stuff is burning everywhere yet they'll say "the protests have been mostly peaceful."

Are you kidding me? We can see the horrific scenes behind them. Glass everywhere, buildings boarded up, graffiti, etc. Look at all of the senseless death since the protests started. All the fights that broke out. People being badly beaten. Teeth knocked out, being chased and cut with a sword, leaving a man mangled up like a pretzel by the time they're done with him. Constant stealing from businesses....
Yeah, peaceful my @$$!!!!

They're the types who call police for help regularly.

Defund. They've gone mad. Or as kspkap would say, stark raving mad!

Not the best example. The police were there during Parkland and they just waited outside hiding during the shooting. The best way to stop these mass shootings is ban guns, but too many rightwing NRA people in control now. As for police, yes, they are a necessary evil, but it's time for a complete revamp of the force. They all need training in human relations, and should know the difference between right and wrong to be qualified. Too many join the police because they like to beat up (or worse) people with impunity. I.e. we need a lot more Serpicos and no more Brailsfords.

I think the majority of cops are basically decent people genuinely trying to make a difference.The problem is their all being demonized because of a few bad apples.

I don't assume all postal workers are ticking time bombs just because a few went postal.They definitely need better screening and training processes and a more firm zero tolerance for police violence.

”The best way to stop these mass shootings is ban guns...”

”As for police, yes, they are a necessary evil,”

So, you’ve bought into the above 2 lines? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Pitiful! Common sense works most of the times. I own many guns and not once have thought about doing a mass shooting. When are the anti-gun folks going to admit it’s not the gun...it’s who’s behind the gun with the finger on the trigger. If not a gun it will be a bomb, a molotov cocktail, a pressure cooker or even a baseball bat. When deciding to murder small children just as many can be murdered with a baseball bat.

How despicable you are calling police a necessary evil! If you ever need one I hope the evil ones don’t respond! After all we wouldn’t want evil to come upon your saintly self! 🙅🏼‍♀️

”Too many join the police because they like to beat up (or worse) people with impunity.”

You definitely are a vacuous person. Pitiful! Just Pitiful! Who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters that’s who!

It's a scare tactic. Nothing happens until you hit the pockets of the elites.

The funniest response to this absurd idea is someone suggested that if you are in board to defund the police you no longer can use 911 for police assistance.

call in Trump to rush the front doors, unarmed of course

I say, wall off the cities where these animals are thickest in population, evacuate everyone else, lock the animals in, and let them go at it like in "The Purge" movies. No cops to stop them, nobody innocent gets hurt, and when the carnage is over, the rest of us can go in and clean up the pieces.
