‘To Defund The Police Right Now Is Absolutely, Positively Insane’ : Minneapolis Resident

[ME-hrki]

When the police in your city are defunded.. Who you gonna call “Ghostbusters” !! Good luck w/that!!

[vdjkdlp]

That last lady wants us to "dream" and "imagine"? Ok, so when someone has their house broken into in the middle of the night are imaginary friends going to show up to keep them safe?

[TWsBooksorcation]

I love how democrats scream defund the police then say yOu dOn’t NeEd a GuN jUsT cAlL tHe pOlIcE

[monoped]

another, 'be careful what you wish for' moment

[stellarosa]

This is why all of the Democratic-run cities are a complete nightmare right now!

[mwmann]

Yeah that's not working out too good is it.

[axelfoley]

Is it really that hard to become a productive member of society?

Real change starts at home and at the individual level.

The title of this video is incorrect.
The correct statement is: DEFUND THE POLICE makes perfect sense.
We have way too many police officers on payroll. Many police officers are out of control.
Most police officers are under a false illusion. They think once they put on a badge, they think the whole world bows down to them.
No, a police officer has no power or authority over you till you commit a crime.
Yes, DEFUND THE POLICE !
Put all police officers only on crime, that's what they get for.
Shut down The Whole Police Traffic Division completely across America !
Traffic Stops are not crimes. You dont go to jail or prison for Traffic Stops.
Yes, DEFUND THE POLICE !

Let the victims decide between life or death to their attackers..

The ONLY people that want to defund Police are Criminals & "Woke" Dummies

[darrenwellings]

Defunding the police is the world heavyweight champion of bad ideas..

[LorSuefong]

Look at Seattle, Portland, a find example of what's going to happen of this happen.

[harperwelch]

Defunding is not the answer. Our cities are OUT of control. Crime and violent crime are on the rise. Retraining, holding accountable, seeking oversight, these are all warranted.

[martinkineavy]

Police officer all over the USA are now talking about stopping work for 3 days.( No police officer on the streets no police in police station no 999 call. No police officer on duty in the office of the president or any duty. Let the people and the government see what will happen... They have our support...

[alexab]

DO NOT DEFUND THE POLICE!!!
If anything, they need more money for better and more broad education and mental health care just to name two...

[TomTom-lvou]

Here’s a tip. Stop breaking the law. We need more police in Minneapolis

[bloche]

I drive an explorer armed with a taser, 9mm beretta 92fs, and a shotgun. There is nothing “militarized” about my work gear

[bradleyriles]

Turns out not such a great idea after all.

[viraltapes]

It's like throwing all onions just because one of them is rotten.
