You cannot read this and still say "But we can't defund the police, who will protect us". Who protects us now? The police were never there for that purpose. Any protecting they do is *literally* incidental to their actual job. Maybe that should be someone's job, but that has nothing to do with cops.
In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

Notice he wants full custody not because he wants to see his kid more, but because he doesn't want to pay $515 a month.
But the same type of dudes will whine about how family courts are biased against them.

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
