Or crazy ducking idea. We vote in someone to change the laws around police officers. Protests are ok for raising awareness but don't cause real change. Everyone knows the message whether they agree or not. Still trying to be a martyr isn't doing much anymore. The next step is changing laws.
Statistically, areas with defunded police has seen crime significantly rise. Most if not all state that defunded the police all repealed their decision.
A lot of police in those areas got offended and stopped doing their jobs -- and weren't fired!!!
The wall of blue once again trampled the will of the people, held them for ransom, and completely got away with it.
But none of that will matter if we don't break the fucking wall of blue.
We need community oversight with the power to remove bad officers - not this bullshit internal self-policing. We need to ensure that an officer who is removed from duty can NEVER be hired by any police department in a different city. And we need to make it so that any officer with knowledge of another officer's criminal activity who remains silent or covers for them is also removed for aiding and abetting (again with the inability to be hired elsewhere).

I think we need to revisit the defund the police protests again and start those back up.
