    Defund the police was not my favorite. Now I have MAGA criminal running rampant and the police are infact defunded.

    Get rid of trump is an easy message we can all agree on. With obvious political answers like we will remove members of congress by an means necessary.

      Police were never defunded. Some cities facing a budget crisis cut a few percent from police budgets. Often, it was a lot less than they cut from libraries, parks, etc. This has nothing to do with anything BLM wanted.

        I know that was not what BLM wanted. Im just pointing out the result of populist outcry that lacks a call to action in government policy. Words are nice but they are better when they are presented as legislation for change. Like the civil rights act.
