It's not as radical as it sounds.

Among those protesting police brutality in the US, there is a slogan that’s taken hold: “defund the police.” The key idea is a push to move the billions of dollars we spend on police in the US, to social services and other public spending. The disparities between policing budgets and those of other city agencies are massive. And while defunding the police might sound radical, it’s a policy activists have been talking about for decades. For some, it can mean reforms that simply lessen the police role in society, while for others - the slogan is a call to abolish the system and create something new entirely.
These ideas have all converged into the popular “defund the police” slogan, and the renewed energy around the movement is working.

So during a pandemic, when healthcare is very important...NYC cuts 5% of the police 5.9 billion budget while taking out 12% of the healthcare 1.9 billion budget. What?!
@jasonpearson4485
@jasonpearson4485 4 года назад
5% of 5.9 billion is 250,000,000. 12% of 1.9 billion is 228,000,000. They just took out the same amount of money. Vox will show you facts but not accurately.

This video is a strawman argument. The police are not here to punish, but to protect by enforcing laws. The police are there to give safety of a person, from someone breaking the law. The safety of each person is required before homelessness, healthcare or illness. If the citizens of a society are free to commit crimes, then nothing you have; home, health, etc... matter. So LAWS are required to protect us from each other, and police enforce those laws. Get it? .. I do like the idea of sending appropriate responders to 911 calls, but I got a feeling, a guy thinking about killing himself waving a gun around... will make a mental health expert VERY hesitant to go in and talk to the guy without some police backup.

Because it is strange, the model of policing need to change, Cops in the US seem themselves as the god of the country and in their minds they have the right to do whatever they want when it comes to any situation, only if there was a way to teach the police to be less aggressive on minors and small problems instead of killing ppl for nothing. School shootings can only be stopped when the school is equipped with Police who actually think before doing any further actions!

@Luis Selvera School shootings won’t be solved by more stationed cops. They are solved by making it harder to get guns, better mental health care, and etc. Adding one more police officer in a school is just a misuse of funding. They are not capable of preventing school shootings from happening, the officer would need a miracle to be near the shooter when it starts.
@nonenone1478
@nonenone1478 3 года назад
out here in Canada, most criminals surrender when the police arrive instead of resisting so there is little police-related violence. this is mostly because whenever a 911 call goes on regarding a suspect (robbery, housebreaking, stabbing,) instead of 2-4 cops you get a massive response of about 15 cops surrounding 2 suspects.

But its because of corruption and the fact that the people are not priority. Poverty, joblessness and more are a result of the government simply not providing, pocketing billions, and have left the infrastructure to rot for decades. Power outages, lack of water and sanitation. I work in law enforcement, and I do not blame people for their actions, I do not treat them like it's them and me but rather we. US police don't seem use their own discretion to handle the situation properly. People want to be treated nice, if your hostile, they will refuse to comply. It's that simple.

@@koalakangaroo3516 Hey so I'm a left-leaning person, and I'd like to try and explain how I interpreted that moment in the video: I think Patrisse is listing examples of people who are disproportionately affected by the US criminal justice system. She's not saying that all black people are poor (although according to the 2018 census, black households' average income is 65% of the national average) The main takeaway for me is that people at the "bottom" of society are also punished for it. I'm assuming you're not black, but imagine if you were: you would be 5x more likely to be imprisoned, you would very likely earn significantly less than you would if you were white, would be less likely to receive an adequate education etc. The reasons for this are tied into the last 500 years of history, and are deeply engrained in the structures of the US. People like Patrisse are saying that policing is one of these structures that needs to be changed in order to right the wrongs of the past and help make a society where your skin colour doesn't determine whether or not you'll go to jail.

When u call the police for something u want them to defend u but not to escalate the situation even more by bringing so many unnecessary stuff. Defunding them means taking some of the unnecessary amount of money they get and put it into places where its needed more like health care, education, helping the poor etc.

In all 8 cases, the subjects were either extremely violent and/or armed and threatened others. In most cases, the person could not be isolated from others. No psychologist would sit down there and discuss it. So only the police remain, because they have equipment to intervene in the event of an attack.

The safety of each person is required before homelessness, healthcare or illness. If the citizens of a society are free to commit crimes, then nothing you have; home, health, etc... matter. So LAWS are required to protect us from each other, and police enforce those laws. Get it? ..

I completely support defunding the ridiculous militarisation of police in the US and we would all love to see increased funding for mental health services and community services. But at 2am when someone is in mental health crisis or when children are at risk, the police are who attend and assist, rightly or wrongly (personally I want to help people, not arrest them, so I enjoy these kinds of calls, but some police do not). I would argue that quality police funding leads to police being able to recruit the brightest and best, and could improve training that can save lives. I have also seen how understaffing can lead to increased use of force - if there are adequate cops to effect arrest on a violent offender, there is generally less need for an officer to use spray or baton. But I fear that American culture means that increased funding for US cops won't be used to solve some of these problems. I would not want to be a police officer in the US.

​@James Bond Did you even watch the video? Defunding the police means redistributing those funds to other resources like mental health services, drug addiction professionals or social services; people who are better suited to do some of this work that for some reason is being handed over to the police. No one is saying to get rid of the police all together because that is impossible and they are needed especially for taking care of violent crimes but they never should've had such a huge budget to begin with when we could better use that money to fund other services that will be of better use to the community.

I know that people outside the country try might think that police is over equipped, which it is. But the police in America has to be more equipped than any other country bc when the police go on a simple job, anybody could have a gun. People in Europe can’t have guns like that. So that puts more fear on an American police than European ones.

"What if it's not as radical as it sounds?" Doesn't that just mean that it's a bad slogan? If it doesn't communicate its intention effectively, then it does a bad job at being what it's supposed to be. "Defund the police" makes some radicals cling onto it by implicitly overpromising something to the effect of "defund" = "abolish", and it scares off the majority of people who don't realize that "defund" is closer to "demilitarize" and "deemphasize" in intention. Just seems like another instance of well-intentioned groups shooting themselves in the foot due to bad messaging.

​@@Kibaoftheleaves I absolutely agree, but human behavior unfortunately doesn't work like that. The function of a slogan is such that if it requires effort on the part of the person reading the slogan to research it before they can make a judgement on it, then it's a bad slogan. Slogans are all about effective communication. The only reason I'm able to make the comment I did is because I did research it and I do understand the actual policy proposals associated with it (the vast majority of which I agree with). But if your three word slogan has a gigantic asterisk that radically changes the meaning from what it appears to be at first glance, it reduces the likelihood of implementing those policy proposals, and it means it's a bad slogan.

I certainly didn’t know and didn’t come to think of this definition when hearing people chanting “defund the police”. With this being said, I do believe a lot of people protesting literally want to defund the police (give them less money) since they did people wrong, and this video doesn’t acknowledge that part of the story

@David Clinging Yes, but some, more radical people have started using the term "abolish the police". I've actually had to correct people who use the terms "defund" and "abolish" interchangeably. They are both completely different things. And this video only examines "defunding" not abolishing. And as the video states, defunding is a lot less radical than many people believe. In fact, it's nowhere even near as radical as abolishing.

This video is a strawman argument. The police are not here to punish, but to protect by enforcing laws. The police are there to give safety of a person, from someone breaking the law. The safety of each person is required before homelessness, healthcare or illness. If the citizens of a society are free to commit crimes, then nothing you have; home, health, etc... matter. So LAWS are required to protect us from each other, and police enforce those laws. Get it? .. I do like the idea of sending appropriate responders to 911 calls, but I got a feeling, a guy thinking about killing himself waving a gun around... will make a mental health expert VERY hesitant to go in and talk to the guy without some police backup.
