I don’t think everyone is talking about the same thing. Seems like “defunding” as a buzz word is similar to “reform” in that it can mean a range of things. The Camden story is getting a lot of coverage as one possible approach.

Regardless of what happened prior, Floyd was subdued, handcuffed and no longer a threat to 4 police officers. He should have been picked up, put in squad car and taken to jail....nothing that led up to this justifies it. And it is possible, the lead up was bad for police as well. He was already cuffed and in the squad car. He was yanked out for whatever reason, then knelt on. Police did release some bodycam video, but they blacked out and muted most of it, so it's useless.

Boston has started discussions about reallocating it’s police budget toward more community oriented projects. Good luck dealing with the police unions !!!

Yeah, let's get rid of the police.
That's all fine and good until someone has a pistol in your face demanding your wallet and you know you have no one to call.
Idiots....

Maybe the old man shouldn't have provoked the cops.

The Camden story is getting a lot of coverage as one possible approach. This is precisely the CNN take on the defund the police movement. Well done ZM. A+.. Because even CNN knows no one can defeat Trump on a defund the police platform.
