Who's this aimed at? fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 09/09/2020 04:40:31 AM

If by defunding the police, you mean completely cutoff funding for policing, you're not really going to find much in the way of support for that view anywhere. There may be people on the street asking for exactly that, but I'm not aware of a politician asking for it.

But what I find amusing is you sharing this kind of link. There's like a megabajillion such articles about some conservative or the other criticizing either Trump or some new right wing nut job conspiracy or idea.

And they're utterly ineffective because they are meant for the wrong crowd. This article is never going to make anyone change their minds, all it can do is give those who hold the diametrically opposed view some smug satisfaction.

Put another way, this article is asking you and Nargs to feel happy Al Sharpton agrees with you. Congratulations, I guess?
