    He’s making shit up. The left was totally for less policing not to scare the minorities. There were very reasonable arguments for demilitarizing police and moving the resources to crime prevention and social services, there were batshit crazy arguments for completely abolishing the police and middle ground arguments for limiting the numbers of police officers. They are now pretending that everything other than the reasonable takes was invented by the right.

      I do agree that crime prevention and social services are important and should get some more priority, however the police force shouldn’t be removed or reduced to almost nothing because there are a few who won’t respond to those.
