    I just wish we weren’t the ones paying for it. If you’re gonna oppress do it on your own damn dime.

      No argument there - defund the police. The money is desperately needed elsewhere, places where it will actually benefit society like social services, health and especially mental health services, youth services, housing services and so on and so forth, even forensic services, who would actually solve crimes (which would be significantly reduced if peoples) instead of police poor communities and defend rich ones.

      E: but that would never happen of course, because the state and those who are behind it need us hungry and tired and fighting with each other because it keeps us from turning on them.
