I think that cops are naturally conservative: That’s the sort of person who decides they want to protect and serve (and get those bennies and retire early and well). So I think their nature is to push back as hard as possible against any changes to the way they do things.
We just listened to about 20 seconds of a cop yelling at a black man right before he murdered (imo) him. That cop sounded completely panicked! Totally out of control. Wetting his pants level. He’s not the first I’ve heard. That how they’re trained to be, so it seems, though I’m sure the official training is otherwise.
“Defunding” (along with a simultaneous startup of a different department of actual public safety that has NO connection with current management of the cops) may in fact be the only feasible route forward in some cases. Bad as that sounds.
