by the way—anyone who tells you defunding the police wouldn’t be helpful for government funding across the board is someone trying to scare you into inaction.
they don’t know if it works because they’ve never tried it. and they don’t want to because they’re afraid it will.

literally nothing that zohran proposes is unreasonable or impossible. simply cutting down police funding would free up so much money. it would be an overwhelming public good almost immediately!
so I have a lot of complicated thoughts about the specific issue at hand, but I have to point out that’s not what “magical realism” is

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity.
ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

The police are defunding the city
Los Angeles, is this good??? Karen Bass is giving half of our budget to LAPD, while the city has to pay out hundreds of millions in civil liability payouts annually for LAPD violence & misconduct.
The police are literally defunding the city.

As LAPD makes this announcement over a P.A.:
"I hereby declare this to be an unlawful assembly"
Literally 5 SECONDS later, the first impact munition round is fired.
MULTIPLE munitions are launched before the announcement is finished. It's no longer audible over the booms and frightened screams.

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

What's going on in LA should be a real wakeup call for folks who don't already know that a fully liberal government can still wind up a police state and without some major change to the way we talk about the militarization of policing, nothing will get better
