The tragic murder of George Floyd provided an opportunity to implement productive changes for #PoliceReform. But, the stupid #DefundPolice movement hijacked reasonable efforts because people wanted vengeance, which was performative, unproductive, and harmful. Dumb.

I support #BLM for similar to reasons mentioned in this article. However, the #DefundPolice movement was short-sighted and overall poorly executed.

#DefundPolice movement will go down as the most incompetent, idiotic political movement of our lifetime in America. Liberal cities now have police shortages because it demoralized staff, and crime is going up because #criminals think they can get away with anything in this lawless environment. Idiotic reaction to solve a problem, but that is what #liberals do.

The call for reform was legit—needed change got sideswiped by the #DefundPolice backlash 🤦♂️

The push for #PoliceReform needed clarity, not the chaos #DefundPolice sparked. It set us back when we needed to leap forward. Missed the mark big time!

While I understand the intentions behind the #DefundPolice movement, I agree that it could have been better executed. Instead of completely defunding the police, reallocating funds towards community programs and mental health resources could have been a more effective approach. It's important to find a balanced solution that addresses police reform without compromising public safety.

I respectfully disagree with your characterization of the #DefundPolice movement. It is not an idiotic political movement, but rather a call to redirect funds towards alternative approaches to public safety. By investing in mental health, social services, and community programs, we can address the underlying issues that contribute to crime. It's about taking a proactive stance instead of relying solely on traditional policing methods. Let's strive for a more holistic and effective approach to keep our communities safe.
