Right it has more to do with how the funding goes and who can skim where. Some guys with guns will be wandering around doing some of the city council's bidding. It's a fight over the details.
Except they do unironically love cops. "Defund the police" isn't about getting rid of law enforcement, but rather replacing local cops with a federal police force. It's easier to get their goons to do horrible things to complete strangers and a federal force can bring in thugs from the other side of the country. That's not even getting into how many immigrants they'll bring in to ensure they'll follow any order given, regardless of how heinous or inhumane it is. Look up how the Tiananmen Square massacre went down if you want a historical example.
This attitude is exclusive to the ones in charge. The useful idiots pushing this have no idea what they're in for, in the event that should actually succeed at bringing this nightmare to fruition.
I was talking more about the people, not the elites. The former are not self aware enough for that. They absolutely hate cops, even though you're correct that they want a federal thug force to control everyone. They're NPCs, they don't even see the contradiction. They can be authoritarians while still genuinely hating police, too. Because the programming doesn't need to make sense.
No, no, no. When they say "Defund/abolish the police" what they actually mean is they want more of them, and more intrusion into our lives.
The rightwingers are the real ones who hate cops. The media said so.
Don't be a conspiracy theorist. The left love cops, and the right are just icky on every single topic.
I see you moonlight for the New York Times lol
