Seattle police union president refuses to resign over comments about U.S. Capitol insurrection
The union president also approvingly retweeted a right-wing blogger who said “an extreme BLM activist” was among those in the pro-Trump mob, causing a former police chief to say, "BLM was not the cause of yesterday's insurrection. We have to tell the truth."

Just because a population of honkey town who's never really been subject to the abuses never thought about a better way to do things doesn't make a reallocation of funds 'stupid'.
What you'll find is that most of the people claiming that are a hell of lot less informed than the people calling for defunding.

"Defund" is bad from a branding perspective. Too easy for those interested in maintaining the status quo to scare those who may support "drawing back the scope of police to those jobs best suited for armed goons" but are quick to clutch pearls. But I guess that doesn't fit very well on a sign.
Jeesh.
People add one more syllable to "fuck the police" and everyone gets sidetracked.
Honestly though. 20 seconds of reading does wonders. My very first, gut reaction when I heard the term was probably the same. But then literally the next sentence from the person saying made it make sense.
Personally I'm kind of fed up with catering to people who can't take time to understand things, or who deliberately make a straw man out of the term to misrepresent it........like barack obama.
One of the biggest mistake repeats of last summer is black community leaders telling people what's wrong, and then kombucha sipping white people going "I think what you really mean is........"
That's probably more the problem than cops. Condescending, well off white people who don't understand the discussion need to be ignored. Listening to that sect is how we get to wonderful conclusions like "maybe we can just introduce some reasonable police reform". How many decades deep are we on that? Defund is brilliant, not scary. It's the most elegant and straightforward way to meaningfully accomplish what 'reform' always fails to do IMO. It's also kind of just the last resort because nothing else ever works.

Having nothing to unionize solves that too
Obviously that's huge but the policies put in place by unions are already there.

This same shit almost happened to me once. Luckily I had my hands in the air and the sheriff didn't pull any triggers on me. He was screaming jibberish and his adrenaline was likely pegged out.

The incident started when a Bonneville County sheriff's deputy pulled over a vehicle in Idaho Falls for a broken tail light shortly after midnight Monday, according to a statement from the sheriff's office.

Idaho Falls police officers and Bonneville County sheriff’s deputies were called to the scene and began searching for the suspect, who was wearing a black shirt and khaki pants and headed in the direction of a residential neighborhood, according to a statement from Idaho Falls police.
Why chase the passenger for a citation for a driver.........much less shoot someone over a broken fucking tail light?
Because cops in america. Fuck anyone who supports this system. This is pointless. And murderous.
Of course they dropped the case.
