Which is a largely fallacious argument because taxpayers have very little say in that. In theory, you could have taxpayers demand that their communities go from having police departments to sheriffs' departments since sheriff is an elected position whereas police chiefs are appointed, but there are so many fucking hurdles even before you get into the amount of buy-in you'd need AND even then it probably wouldn't solve that many issues before they happened, let alone solve the recurring social problem where citizens resisting arrest wind up leading to an escalation in the use of force and creating situations that are far more likely to end badly (even without factoring in things like choke holds). --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:951643815] in Floyd Fami...

Blighboy 03/12/21 5:50:31 PM #40:	thank you zeus for protecting innocent posters from an imaginary car InfernalFive posted... Give those people 2 million and use the other 25 million to actually do something about fixing the system that caused this disaster in the first place. It's not a money issue, which is why "defund the police" is such a powerful slogan. Money put into the police department tends to go towards training them to be more violent and giving them more dangerous tools.

Even if they shock us all and he goes to prison where he belongs, assholes are gonna use it for decades in arguments as a justification for more cases of police brutality. Theyll insist that there isnt a systemic problem with law enforcement and police brutality against certain groups because Hey they put away Floyds murderer though!
