Relevant portion starts at 1:49:30 DNC LGBTQ Caucus Meeting "We're talking about abolishing the police. We're talking about abolishing ICE. We're talking about abolishing prisons."
A large percentage of these city's residents now live in fear of their families and their own safety and lives 24 hours a day. Again, in both situations, a small but very vocal percentage of these city's population pushed for those changes, now everyone suffers the effects of these changes.
The majority of their citizens are now pushing to get things reversed, but. unfortunately the damage is done.

University studies have carefully analyzed the effects of both a gradual pulling back on enforcement of crimes (both petty and serious felonies) and reducing staffing and funding of police. They had two prime examples as to where this has been done along with the ramifications these actions brought. The examples of systematic scaled back enforcement and a reduction of adequate police funding were Caracus Venezuela, and Tijuana Mexico. Both of these cities now compete for the top spot as the most dangerous cities in the world.

Are we comparing ourselves to Venezuela and Mexico now? Can we possibly compare our police to like countries? It seems anytime it fits an agenda we are okay with comparing to what we otherwise view as lesser countries rather than striving to improve.
Also, it wasn't all that long ago that Tijuana (while still a bit quirky) and surrounding areas were safe enough to be a major spring break destination for a lot of American college students, those days are now gone due to the pullback of police presence and enforcement of crimes. Examples are helpful in predicting potential changes when the tip of the tail is able to start wagging the dog.Last edited by Eagle74; 08-21-2020, 10:33 AM.

It was in fact similar to many nice American cities. https://www.travelsafe-abroad.com/venezuela/caracas/

In that case, can we compare it to the occupied zone in Seattle which had murder, theft, rape, and vandalism in it? Even with a black female chief of police wanting to go in and clean it up.

Sure, those exact same things happen with over-funded and under-trained police though so I'm not real sure what you want to compare.

Not something I'm going to lose sleep over, but youbdo you I guess.
Earlier we were told that "Defunding the police means no more military equipment, not taking police off the streets." It's just not the case. "We're talking about abolishing the police."
Perhaps the individual does not have decision making ability, but the DNC felt the message had to heard.

Recent history show examples in countries where their police force were either defunded, scaled back enforcement, or both. These decisions were made in Somolia and Zimbabwe. Both are now in ruins with a horrible quality of life with rampant violent crime, as compared to what they were prior. Even with a few changes that may be needed to be made, I wonder what percentage of Americans really want to live with the hell those people now have to deal with 24 hours a day?

Somalia has been in various stages of civil war since 1986, so this also is a really great comparison.

Why not look at training to start though? I wonder what quality of police officer we would get if we expected them to train for 3 years rather than 16 weeks? I had to train about 16 weeks for my current job and it is nowhere near as potentially life threatening for myself or others if I make a mistake. I have never "wore the uniform" so maybe this is just stupid though...
