“ The problem is that street-level police are not always qualified. “The more rational solution is to actually over-fund the police, hire more expert military and special forces operators with graduate degrees to serve at all levels of police work –– male and female.” Increasing police funding and specializing police units with better training simply makes sense.Īs Baron Christopher Hanson a GOP strategist and owner of Red Baron Consulting explains: In fact, police specialization is a point that most people would actually agree on!!! Many People Agree, Police Specialization is Good And certainly this makes more sense than what protesters appear to be demanding. Specializing the police and re-allocating funding seems to be the end objective of what the activists in charge are aiming for. What is actually being pushed forward can be more accurately described as: specializing the police. “Future community safety and prevention models could redistribute resources to incorporate professionals who are best equipped to deal with a variety of non-violent crises.” A Push to “Specialize the Police!” Rather, strategic relocation of funds, resources and responsibilities.” “Contrary to popular belief the idea of defunding the police isn’t about eliminating police departments. In fact, what defund the police really means is much different.Īccording to Reneé Rose of The Shaan Saar Foundation: It’s true, defunding the police is NOT an accurate description of what the is really being pushed. Amid These 3 Perspectives On Defunding the Police is the Truth Hoping we don’t see what they are really pushing for.Īnd what that really is, has yet to be seen. And they push their agenda in the background…. The community organizers, or whoever organizes the gatherings, are the only ones fully aware of the situation. Resulting in a lot of debate and confusion, all the while… These 3 perspectives result in a contentious stage. So the public has a hard time catching up with what is really going on. The message “defund the police” is DECEITFUL. Naturally, these two conflicting perspectives sow confusion among the general public. Perspective #3: The Public Who is Justly Confusedįinally, you have the general public who see the people in the streets calling for defunding the police.Īs well as the community organizers calling for police specialization on the news. Traffic enforcement (or even less traffic enforcement).The community organizers are pushing for things like specialized training for: Police are already specialized in things like bomb squad and terrorist units. Police should be trained for specific duties. What is ACTUALLY being pushed forward is more specialized and targeted policing units.Īnd it’s actually not a terrible idea. Those organizers who are publicly in charge of pushing the cause, are pushing for something much different. Next, the second perspective is the community organizers who are actually pushing for legislative changes and changes in the courts. Perspective #2: The Protest Organizers Want to Change Policing That is why it is often best to express your right to be heard, in courts, and not in the streets.Īlternatively, protestors could pick up first amendment auditing. Unfortunately, the people in the streets don’t see that they are being played by the second perspective in this picture (the community organizers). The surface level thinking seen at protests is the perfect breeding ground to establish whatever narrative you want to get out. T hat is what they think they are calling for. And of course there are alternatives to defunding the police that are being overlooked. And are easily lead into chanting something like “defund the police”.Īnd most of those people in the streets literally want the police to be dismantled entirely. Perspective #1: The People in The Streets LITERALLY Want to Defund the Policeįirst, the people in the streets are emotionally charged.
This point seems more important than any in order to truly have a meaningful discussion about what is going on.Īt first I thought, “defunding the police is an absurd motion!” And on it’s face, it absolutely is.īut there are actually 3 MAIN perspectives here that need to be considered.Īnd seeing the picture these 3 pieces create will help you better understand what is really going on here. We must first recognize the movement for what it is. In order to see why the call to defund the police is so confusing. Why is the call to defund the police so confusing?
