There are stupid people on Facebook who always say, "Defund the police!" Think about defunding the police? Well, this video from San Francisco shows just how "wonderful" society can get when you defund the police. The call to defund the police has been called because of abusive cops. I'm not going to deny that there are abusive cops. However, the profession of a policeman as well as the government having the function of police is another. Are we going to abolish the government entirely because of some corrupt politicians?
We need to get the facts straight about what happens when the police is defunded. Those who are calling to abolish the police have no idea what they're getting themselves into. Yet, we've got fools such as the gossiping Facebook page, the Philippine Anti-Fascist League (which I heard is spearheaded by a bitter youth and some rebellious youths) even made this very stupid diagram...
The police are needed to protect all the cups. Don't tell me we don't need cops to protect our schools, healthcare centers, youth service centers, housing, and other community reinvestments? I bet the founder of PALF isn't just a bitter fellow--he's probably a guy who hates to follow rules. It was said by Vladimir Lenin that the best revolutionary is a youth devoid of morals. Defunding the police because of an abusive cop is as dumb as (1) defunding education because of an abusive teacher, (2) defund universal healthcare because of an abusive healthcare worker, (3) defund youth services because of an abusive youth service leader, (4) defund housing because a housing company failed to follow government standards, and (5) defund other community reinvestments if ever those in charge of it are abusive.
I could even remember some person no Facebook said that he would rather trust the criminals than the police officers. The reason was because criminals kill for a reason while the police officers kill without a reason. Such a logic is baffling. If that's their logic then why not trust those police officers they cited who broke the law? Any police officer who's broken the law should be eligible for removal of position and given appropriate punishment. A police officer who breaks the law should hand over his or her badge, go to jail, and be put to jail alongside his or her fellow criminals. I would trust good police officers over bad police officers. In short, I would trust any person worthy of the title of police officer while regarding bad police officers as criminals.
Looks like some people in San Francisco are now getting a rude awakening. Without police officers, the whole place is a mess. Those criminals are no better than the abusive police officers. So much for saying that they'd rather trust the criminal than policemen. The situation there's so bad that if I were an American--I'd really stay away from San Francisco. As a Filipino, I'd stay away from places in the Philippines where I know crime is rampant.
Try to blame capitalism on this but these are idiot wokes left and right ruining th eplace. I personally am revolted just thinking about human waste on the streets, all the needles, crime, and because of what? Thank defund the police for that! Those who want ot defund the police might as well be ready for the tragic consequences.
