Great idea brainless Lberals. Get rid of police and give the thugs free reign. Nobody, including AOC, will be safe.

I think it’s a great idea. Try it first on a small scale in Newark or Camden. When the citizens hear gunfire, find a body, or call 911, an army of social workers will respond rather than those nasty, ol’ police officers.

Having AOC behind an idea is like blowing on the windshield to nudge a car up a steep hill.

Does she have a detail? If so, she should lead by example. Get rid of all the capitol police.

Okay, AOC has thrown her weight behind this proposal.

Now, the question is where did she through her intellectual prowess? /s

Every damn one of these morons that want to defund the police should have their names, addresses and license plates entered into a national data base so that if they ever call 911 all they receive is a message that says “I’m sorry, per your request, there is no funding available to provide you with assistance, if you so desire we will give you the name and number of a private security or ambulance service. Press one for security or 2 for ambulance. Thank you for calling 911, have a nice day!

Have none of these police defunders looked at similar actions? There have been many times when regions of cities have been "depoliced". I remember Cincinnati after the cops shot a teenage suspect fleeing from them around 2000. After a few days of rioting and looting the police pulled back. They would respond to 911 calls, but generally kept out of the neighborhoods in question. As you would expect, crime rates including murder went up.

How many extra innocent blacks will die because of this legislative depolicing? Hundreds? Thousands?

This is what these liberals sound like:

"We've had some people killed in auto accidents by a few bad drivers so we need to stop manufacturing and selling cars to everyone because of this."

I read a brilliant rebuttal today, that at reasonable cost, police officers “in good standing”, but fired by leftist insanity, immediately get job offers from new specialized “private police unions”, so that the desperate people in these “police free zones” can pay a *subscription* for police services.

This is based off the model of private fire departments/paramedics/ambulance, that while not widespread, are very popular with their firemen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Metro

Importantly, the subscriptions they offer can be for individual people or companies, or for a group, say a particular block, where they paying residents supports some elderly and disabled on fixed incomes.

And here’s the zinger: these police are *not* under the onerous rules inflicted on them by liberal cities, but their own judgment. They have no obligation of arrest and would not be subject to police brutality complaints. If an ordinary citizen can do it, so can they.

They can also carry non-standard, or even military grade equipment.
