One reason I’m cranky lately is that “defund the police” manages to be ambiguous between an idea that’s too extreme (don’t have a police department) and an idea that is way too tepid (cut the budget). We need structural reform to how & for what officers get fired and re-hired. — PolitiTweet.org

It surely says something that thus far no state is right-wing enough to move to weaken police union collective bargain rights nor is any state left-wing enough to do that nor has any state hit upon that as a high-minded compromise. — PolitiTweet.org

We have officers who only get fired for the most extreme misconduct + union leaders who have open contempt for democracy combining to create a climate of impunity, taking departments like that and then cutting the budget doesn’t really help. — PolitiTweet.org
