Second, your claim that in the US we overspend on law enforcement is a dumb argument. Police are underpaid in almost every major city, they risk their lives daily for less than 60k a year in most cities.
Third, their is no link between the issues you bring up and police funding. The United States has a 2 trillion dollar budget every year guy, we don’t need to defund anything, and the idea that we would defund the police in the middle of a crime wave is one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard.
On every city where defunding the police occurred crime rose, and crime rose disproportionately in poor and minority communities. Most recently we saw this on Detroit.
The whole premise of your dumb argument is absurd. This country spends over 16k a year educating poor kids, if people choose a life a crime it’s because they made a bad decision, not because programs like Jon training didn’t exist. Anyone on the US can work hard, go to college, and get ahead, we don’t need to take money away from law enforcement in the middle of a crime wave and an ongoing pandemic to fund dumb social programs that already exist anyways.
Do more research next time.
