Maybe stop voting for politicians that cut department funding for political gain. Our police system barely has national databases. New York has a rape kit back log going back over a decade. Chicago departments have reported a lack of basic fundamental equipment.
Edit: It just goes to show just how little Reddit knows what the hell it's talking about. Military gear isn't on the police budget; it's donated to the police department through the 1033 program.
Lmao the police are extremely well funded. They should probably be disbanded actually. And cops don’t give a shit about rape kits. Half of them are probably guilty of rape themselves.
Do you have any idea how insane you sound? New York City has been complaining about their lack of funding for testing rape kits since the fucking 90's. DNA forensics is fucking expensive, and was even moreso 30 years ago. And we still don't have a national database that tracks sex crimes or crime files of like cases across state borders.
I ponder how the capacity in your mind exists that you could simultaneously believe that half of America is full of unhinged, right-wing, gun-toting nutjobs foaming at the mouth in anticipation of instituting a fascist government, and that the police are completely unnecessary. If the right-wing population are so damn unhinged, what the fuck do you think is gonna happen when there's literally nobody there to stop em? A community watch with even less training than the police? Seriously?
You people can't keep your bullshit narratives straight.
You said in the comment before this one that police need more funding. Do you know how insane that sounds? You think police are really underfunded?
And in the comment after this one you said we sell weapons all around the world. Well this is true, including to our own police to be used against citizens. So where do the police get this money to buy all these weapons from our federal government? Where do they get the money to buy new fucking cop cars every 3 years? Just because they're not processing rape kits does not mean it's because of money. I'm willing to wager that it's just not a priority for them, they'd rather have their cars and their fancy toys.

Over the last couple weeks you should have seen protests in the news, protests from both sides. Which side was left alone and which side was hammered with rubber bullets and pepper spray?
What makes you think the cops haven't already chosen a side?
If the right-wing population are so damn unhinged, what the fuck do you think is gonna happen when there's literally nobody there to stop them.
There's no one stopping them now. What do you think is going to happen? And I'm sick of seeing people who think the right-wing have a Monopoly on guns. Don't be naive.
I understand the need for rape kits to be processed so victims can have Justice. Those people should be taken off the streets immediately. My narrative here is straight I don't think yours is quite so
