"Defund the Police" defined as Disempower, Disband, and Disarm

Anyone got any predictions as to how this all ends? The activists seem to be pretty dug in this time around, it does "feel" differently but they seem to have no real concrete proposals and are basically run by anarchists.

Conventional wisdom is it blows over until the next incident happens but who knows...

Convention wisdom says I've seen this act before...over and over and over (it will blow over).

My wife got upset with me yesterday for not being more solemn. I told her why would I be solemn when I've seen this game plan so many times in the past? Why would I be solemn when I'm surrounded by idiocy. I can't exactly root for violence, looting, and destruction of property as it serves no purpose. And I'm certainly not going to root for people to enable this type of behavior by throwing millions of dollars to take care of the bail and the legal expenses of these people.

I told her not to take my word for it but just watch the news cycle play through over the next few months with each month having a different them (racism, gun control, women's rights, immigration). It'll happen as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. I really don't need to watch the news as it's that predictable. I just wish others would stop allowing themselves to be brainwashed.

defunding leads to McGruff getting put down (satire)

NEW YORK, NY—In response to a growing anti-police sentiment, McGruff the Crime Dog has been taken to the vet and put down.

“We just didn’t feel safe with him around,” said activist Ray Clarke, one of the people who demanded McGruff be euthanized. “He was always urging people to ‘Take a bite out of crime,’ and we don’t need more violence like that from law enforcement. He has to die.”

McGruff had long educated people on measures they can take against crime but had recently been criticized for not caring about the racial disparity of his bites out of crime and for his association with the police. That’s why euthanizing McGruff became a part of “defunding the police,” even though technically it was a measure that cost more money (the vet charged $150).

Defenders of McGruff argued that McGruff could just be retired and live on a farm working as a P.I. instead of being put down -- or that at least they didn’t need to tell McGruff he was a “bad, bad dog” before the injection, but activists wouldn’t relent, and the euthanization happened as planned.

A small memorial was erected for McGruff, and it has already been vandalized.​
