I’m not quite sure what this means. If it means to cut spending on the incredible amount of armor and military supplies that local police in this country have acquired in recent years, then that makes some sense.
If it means simply cutting spending on police across the board then I am opposed (I am always opposed to across the board spending cuts without thought.)
If it means disbanding the police altogether, replaced by some new system of policing, that sounds like insanity to me.
Whatever it means, I’m concerned that the whole idea will lead to a public backlash which may give Donald Trump and his supporters a reprieve on an issue that up to this point has been a big loser for him. And I have to add: this always seems to happen when radicals get control of a reasonable, liberal issue: they immediately propose “solutions” that the otherwise sympathetic public can’t tolerate, and that allows the other side to paint us all as crazy. Very frustrating to see it happening again.
