Defund the police, they are clearly incapable of doing their jobs if they can't stop riots.
Tbf, it's usually the mayors that don't let them. The police absolutely can and would most of the time.
Defund the mayors. They're clearly incapable of their job (Maying, I presume) if they don't stop their jurisdictions from burning to the ground.
I believe President Trump is looking into just that - he can't withhold state funding, of course, but he can look into getting federal funding withheld from jurisdictions that simply don't bother protecting their citizens from thieves and brigands.
Several states have already pre-emptively sued him over this even though he hasn't done anything yet.
"Defund" is a progressive virtue signal for moral cowards. Refund the mayors/police/courts by letting people keep their money. The people can choose to spend it on private courts and security.
