An end to traffic stops, street outreach teams, unionized sex workers and burglaries resolved by restorative justice: The vision of BLM activists for how to defund and replace traditional police

Who replaces the police? BLM activists call for officers to be replaced with social workers | Daily Mail Online

Among plans put forward by Black Lives Matter, MPD150 and other activists to replace police are:

  • Mental health responders to attend mental health crisis in place of armed police (great, do these responders have weapons to deal with violent people and can they fight violent people wishing to do them and others harm. will they have handcuffs?)
  • Street outreach teams, more shelters and affordable housing to help solve homelessness and stop the homeless from being criminalized (I support 100%, what will they do with those that refuse their help time and time again?)
  • Traffic stops to be eliminated entirely, with traffic violations dealt with via. mail (so instead of one traffic stop with citations, they will have 100 citations sent by mail to pay? what will they do if they don't or can't pay? Go to jail?, What about DUIs? What about traffic stops used to stop felony suspects?)
  • Community members to attend domestic violence calls, to help intervene and establish long-term safety for the individuals (HAHAHAHHA this the dumbest one on here, so your neighbors who hate you, maybe drunk, may be sleeping with your wife or want to, etc will intervene in domestic violence calls? Will they arrest themselves as required by law?)
  • Specialized physical and emotional support for victims of sexual violence (Ok this is fine)
  • Investing in prevention of sex trafficking to end economic and social conditions that lead to deeply rooted vulnerabilities (so pretty much stop gang activity, drug activity, all sex trafficking, and illegal immigration of sex trafficking. How do you do this without police?)
  • The legalization of marijuana to stop incarceration for the 'harmless' drug (no one is incarcerated JUST for a little marijuana, but ok)
  • Better handling of drug offences to stop 'criminalizing of communities of color' (how so? what does this mean?)
  • Decriminalization of sex work and formation of an independent union to ensure individuals have insurance, child care and safety precautions (LMAO insurance, child care? for crack whores who are giving BJs for $5 because they are hooked on meth? How does this jive with the sex trafficking one?)
  • Restorative justice (meetings between victim and offender) to be used to deal with property crimes such as theft and burglary (yes, i definitely think meeting with Bubba or Tyrone who carjacked you or did a home invasion face to face will definitely lead to them paying you back!)

There are things taught in public schools today that shouldn’t be and things not taught that should be.

Religious doctrine of any kind does not belong in public schools in any way, shape or form. A brief history of a religion as it directly relates to world history is fine and needed at times for situational clarity. The French Revolution, English War of the Roses, American colonization are just a few instances that quickly come to mind.

But but but he cried at George Floyd's funeral?

All those protestors must have not seen that.

I thought it was some random white kid when I first saw this. He was beat down in shame for not saying he was going to abolish the police. He needs to watch out for the silent majority more than he does the militant never voters.

I tried to read your link. But it is simply impossible. So many pop up videos and things playing while I am trying to read.

On the surface, I like an end to some traffic stops. I also would like an end to prostitution stings and marijuana busts by police.

And don't forget minor public intoxication

Is this code for an opportunity for me to get "even" with the dirtbag(s) that violated my property when they broke into my shed and stole my tree stand and tools? If so I'll be there with the pry bar they left behind..

We have LEO specifically trained in hostage negotiation. Do we have LEO specifically trained to respond and deal with domestic disturbances, possible suicide calls and calls involving mental illness, etc? Those would be no weapons involved calls, as weapons would obviously change the response.

If we don’t, why not? If we do, maybe we need more of them.🤷‍♀️

Since domestic disturbance calls are the most deadly situations for law enforcement, I'm sure they'd be happy to relinquish those responsibilities.......but this neighbor isn't going to interfere in that alcohol fueled situation.

If you want your kids to learn about the bible, then send them to a Christian based school or take them to church. Good luck trying to convince an atheist or agnostic kindergarten teacher to educate your child on the life of Christ.

I know its an almost impossible task today, but until that happens, nothing will change for the better.

Serious question. When I hear defund, I assume that means divert some money. When I hear disband, I assume that means no police. Is my understandingaccurate or is it all the same?

Instead of actually holding police officers accountable for their actions and improving police training (which would require effort), they decide to completely disband the police department.

It's like cutting your leg off to change your socks. Seems like a completely overboard response.

If you look into it they have already tried several reform attempts. The police union has blocked much of it and there is even reports of police refusing to respond to calls in districts that are in council members who voted for said reforms. This is actually the last resort scenario.

There actually is a blueprint for this response...
