LA is really doing things right. Unlike NYC.

Most of the Police brutality videos are coming from NYC too, during these protests. Meanwhile LA has been marching and protesting with much less violence, even during looting.

We need to stop militarizing the police. And stop training the police to believe that they're only option is to shoot to kill.

Isn't a budget hike a raise in the budget, OP?

Exactly, r10

r2 Is correct on that.

This will unfortunately backfire the minute a riot breaks or a terrorist bomb goes off in a year’s time and the police force claims it was due to defunding. Then heads will roll and Republicans will gain power.
