I'm not sure why "completely destroy this institution" became a solution to very real problems.
I can't speak to other urban police forces, but I don't know if anyone has ever seen the Seattle police respond in less than six hours to any kind of crime that didn't involve active violence. Stolen property is virtually never recovered. I'm sure defunding the SPD will do wonders to improving those outcomes.
You lefties pushing this shit better figure out how you are going to be able to blame Trump for it. This will get people killed. By the people who don't want the police.

Whoever said yesterday that this will ultimately lead to increased crime that will then be used to accuse Republicans of racism and not caring about black people and demanding more Federal money for urban areas, nailed it.
