Let’s say that we want to fix the systemic problem (as some people say it is). People are just protesting but not looking to fix what they don’t like. Possibly there is a solution other than defunding the police.
We could:
Hire a diversity of people.
Train them.
Test them.
Prosecute them if they do wrong.
What else?
You know what, the local governments who hire and control the police can do all of that. Why haven’t they already done all of these things? I guess it’s only the Republican run local governments that have these systemic problems
