Most people who go around yelling Black lives matter don't go to places like Alabama and yell it, they go to some of the most liberal cities in the country like Seattle, Portland, Oakland etc. and yell it there; back home they used to call that "preachin' to the choir".
I sorta scanned over the article a bit and it doesn’t seem to address some major questions. They say Defund the police means to reallocate resources from the Police to other agencies that can handle situations other agencies can handle better. They use example of replacing the Police gang unit with a community based organization that addresses violence to deal with the city’s gang problem. My question would be; are these community based organizations that addresses violence going to be armed? If not, who is going to provide security to prevent them from getting killed? If the police, then there needs to be an increased fund because not only do you have the same police, but also the cost of the community based organization dealing with the problem. And if we are to believe everybody immediately become racist against blacks the minute they become police officers, what makes you think they won’t become racist the minute they become a part of this community based organization? If they have professionals deal with people having a mental health crisis, are the police going to provide security for them too? This all sounds like an increase in funding; not a decrease.
even a low paying job is not unemployment and despite your attempts to misdirect the truth remains that:
Unfortunately many of the failing schools are in poor black neighborhoods
