Defund the police? That makes sense. No police. No Police brutality. Problem solved.
But wait. We are not done. While we are at it, let’s also solve “income inequality.” How, you might ask? Consider the following.
Tucson’s annual budget for police services is $165 million (the largest single item in the city’s general fund). Take that money and give it to the poor. Not only would you end “income inequality,” but at the same time you would eliminate the need for those folks to go out shooting and robbing. After all, it is not their fault that they have had to resort to crime to put food on the table. “Income inequality” made them do it.
Defund the Police. No more police brutality. Give the unspent dollars to those who were committing crimes, ending crime and “income inequality” at the same time. Problem solved X 2.
One flaw, though. All those former police officers would have to go out and shooting and robbing to put food on the table.
Some days you just can’t catch a break.
