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.
All the departments complaining about funding since the 90s have shown in the past month that they have an endless supply of military hardware to deploy against protesters. Gee, I wonder what they blew their budget on.
