Did you read it? Did it advocate for “abolishing the police” or did it talk about a specific police policy that was making police interactions more dangerous for citizens?
Like, we can talk about THAT if you want. But, did you notice you linked to something that really had nothing to do with abolishing police or even directly reducing police? It’s talking about not expanding and hiring more police to prevent victimless and nonviolent crime. A policy that has lead to increased police violence towards citizens.
See how even when you try to link and point to someone on “the left” explaining something you’re not even understanding it.
What point are you trying to make? You didn’t even mention or talk about the specific policy she is talking about.
You barely have to dig into it man. It’s literally the first part of the letter. My initial response to you was literally because you don’t actually understand what “the left” believes and you’re just arguing with a slogan. Thanks for proving my point.
I’m not going to play “No true Scotsman” with you. Any example I will show you will just turn into “that’s not what the left really wants”.
The fact is that AOC opposed putting more police in the subway in order to reduce crime. Mamdami put more police int he subway and crime went down.
I remember George Floyd protests. Mayor of some town (don’t remember which) went to visit the protesters and they asked him directly, “are you going to abolish the police?”. He said ‘no’, he was booed by the crowd and wasn’t allowed to say anything more.
You can hear “the left” talking very clearly about having less cops, decreasing founding for the police, how defunding is first step to abolishing police, how “police doesn’t provide safety”, how police can be a threat to black and brown people.
As I said: claiming that the left was not for reducing the number of police is a lie and intent to rewrite history.
