After a huge spike in crime since they defunded the police, they finally saw the light.
Liberal stupidity has no bounds.
"Prison and/or police don't deter crime or rehabilitate offenders! Studies from (insert liberal arts school or some worthless H.B.C.U. here) show that they don't!"
The problem, of course, is that these institutions aren't supposed to "rehabilitate" or "restore." That isn't the problem we're trying to solve. They are to protect law-abiding citizens and their private property from criminals. We don't pay our taxes for these services to help such people feel better about themselves. We want them removed from society so that the rest of us can live safely.
As for that not being a deterrent, I point to Seattle, Portland, N.Y.C., and Minneapolis.
The plan I saw on the table was $500K to allow Hennepin County Sheriff's Department to help them out.
If you think that Minneapolis or any of these other dystopian cities will see the light and reverse this and restore law enforcement to what they were, you're quite foolish. I totally understand the run of the mill liberals who want to be willfully ignorant on this and pretend these people don't really mean what they say, but there isn't any excuse for conservatives to ignore what their intentions are. Yes, there are council members in these crapholes who explicitly want to eventually abolish the police. Yes, there are many more who want to defund. It's real, they are acting on these things, and the idea that they will turn 180 degrees and admit they were wrong about defunding is absurd, given that this would render them, by their own illogic, white supremacists or complicit with the white supremacists.
Additionally, with a Biden Administration, you will have critical theory people who are true believers in key positions, like those working with the AG, along with those in civil rights positions.
Even the insane eventually get it,
