The policy of the Memphis PD was to “clean up the streets.” We see how that worked out. In Atlanta, 1,000 National Guard may be called up to evict violent protestors from "Cop City"
While the "defunders" (for lack of a better term) are way off base in terms of trying to eliminate policing entirely, there are good ideas in terms of setting up non-police public safety/response units who are trained to deescalate situations.
I agree that the problem is political. Like everyone else, I do not know how to hold the people running the show accountable to the citizens without politics.
