So serious reform is very needed, but dismantle?? I’d be really worried.
What bothers me is all the big cities, NYC Chicago LA etc have liberal government for a looong time and why haven’t the police departments been reformed? I don’t buy the police unions are so strong nothing can be done?? Sorry the city mayors aren’t doing their jobs and just can’t throw up their hands and say can’t be controlled
Will people in these cities just keep voting for the same type of leaders? If so why??
De Blasio is an example. He could have insisted the police put more cops on street and used the mounted police to avoid, not just stop, looters
Only 8,000 cops were on duty when looting occurred in a force of 36,000 . I have every sympathy with the peaceful demonstrations and happy looters (a completely different group of people) have been stopped
Wondering why Hollywood types are contributing to bail for looters but not contributing to store owners who’ve been devastated
By the way in NYC looters were released without bail - a new this year liberal policy
So basically I understand agree and sympathize with peaceful demonstrators but not understanding why the liberal government allows these terrible problems to continue and liberal government in cities are not being held accountable for the police departments under their control including budgetary control
