As far as the defunding of the police goes, a poll out this week said only 16% of those polled wanted to defund the police.

This is well within the typical liberal sector of the country, which runs between 15-25% of the total population.

These people are radicals and jump-on-the-bandwagon Leftists who want to be seen as "woke". They have no practical idea what it would mean to defund the police in communities. Chaos would ensue. Fighting crime on the honor system won't work, I'm afraid.

The idea of defunding the police departments across the country is going nowhere.

Something tells me that once these people start accumulating wealth and not live with their parents or on a college campus, they wouldn’t be so eager to be sitting ducks and the numbers here would shrink. Also the pandemic is making this appear worse. A lot of people have nothing to do and have been cooped up for a long time. They have no pressure to return to work. That’s part of why they want UBI and single payer health care. So they could do this all day-every day.
