REPORT: Here's How 'DEFUND THE POLICE ' Has Worked Out for Black Community

'Defund the police' seems to be the hottest trend amongst idiots today and people continually call for a dismantling of law enforcement and advocates for anarchy.

They many not say that exactly, but that is precisely what the result will be, because this country is not ready to govern itself in such a manner that we would not need the police department.

Several cities nationwide have seen an increase in African-American deaths due to violence since George Floyd’s death.

Calls for police to be “defunded” seemed to have gained traction starting with the now-defunct CHOP in Seattle. Defunding the police was one of the demands CHOP published at the height of their occupation. While Seattle did not get around to meeting such an absurd demand before CHOP was removed, some cities have started acting toward that goal. Los Angeles cut its police budget by $150 million and is beginning to advance a plan to send social workers to some types of 911 calls.

As is typical of Leftists, rather than focus on reforming aspects which are in need of attention, activists are placing a great amount of impetus on burning things to the ground (in this case figuratively), and replacing institutions with their utopian vision.

Unfortunately, these visions never turn out well, and instead lead to dystopian societal changes, which end up being worse than the original problems. As further evidence of this seemingly unavoidable progression, Heather MacDonald of the Manhattan Institute wrote about the recent surge in violence arising at the same time as the racial protests. She provides a heart-wrenching survey of the effects on several of America’s cities:

“In Chicago, 18 people were killed and 47 wounded in drive- and walk-by shootings last weekend. The fatalities included a one-year-old boy riding in a car with his mother (the gunman drove up alongside and emptied his gun into the vehicle) and a 10-year-old girl struck in the head inside her home; a group of youth on the street outside her house had started shooting at another group of youth nearby. The previous weekend in Chicago, 104 people were shot, 15 fatally. The deceased included a three-year-old boy riding in a car with his father on Father’s Day—his gangbanger father was the intended victim—and a 13-year-old girl shot in her head in her home.

“New York City’s homicide rate is at a five-year high; the number of shooting victims was up over 42 percent through June 21 compared with the same period in 2019. The number of shootings in the first three weeks of June was over twice that of the same period in 2019, making this June the city’s bloodiest in nearly a quarter century, according to the New York Times.

…

“Milwaukee’s homicides have increased 132 percent. ‘In 25 years, I’ve never seen it like this,’ a Milwaukee police inspector told the Police Executive Research Forum, referring to the violence and the low officer morale. Shootings are spiking in Indianapolis. Other cities will show similar increases once their crime data are published.”

These numbers are astronomically high and would be more commonplace and even higher if we had no police.
