@JailTheTrumps Exactly. The ppl who are lobbying to miltarize them & give them huge money-are catering to the concept that "cops keep us safe"-no matter HOW often that's been disproved. If we took cops off of responding to mental health crisis-where many of the "well being" calls they get sent on end in someone dead, if we took them OUT of schools & used those funds to plus up teacher's salaries, to provide healthcare within the community (1/ )
@JailTheTrumps (2/ ) if we made housing AFFORDABLE, and kept landlords from raising rents & evicting ppl, if we solved as many of the "ills" of society as there are-we'd have a MUCH healthier society, and dramatically reduced need for armed cops. But that would require a whole new way of looking at this country & how we allow things to happen.
