It has been almost four years since the George Floyd riots started, BLM took full control, and the Democrats called to defund the police completely. Truthfully, while we weren't paying attention, all of that was making its way down the pike years prior.
I hate to be too black-pilled here (if you don't know what that means it is essentially, a loss of hope for the future), but it doesn't seem to me like a positive change that the Democrats suddenly want to REFUND the police.
On its face, it looks like the blue cities that are overrun with crime use, lootings, and shootings need heavy police reform and refunding. However, I fear that the type of reform Democrats have in mind, four years after all this amplified, may not align with the concerns of average Americans who are living in or around those areas.
Democratic-run ACLU praised Biden in recent years for his version of police reform. They cited improvements in data collection, revisions on the use of force, limiting no-knock entries, limiting military equipment, accreditations, revising crisis response models, and grants for cooperating police departments. Likewise, Democrat.org puts emphasis on data collection and DEI efforts within the police force, as well as limitations on what police should actually be able to do.
A little common sense will tell that data collection isn't exactly the main priority of the American people who are looted at their small businesses, mugged on the streets, or have property damage from break-ins. The no-knock rule would be nice, too, if it weren't enforced in some of the most dangerous scenarios, leaving victims of a crime to fend for themselves in dangerous situations. DEI efforts are also causing major issues within departments.
Police departments have seen a 47% increase in resignations and 19% more retirements than in 2019, just before George Floyd and the pandemic. In addition, there were 124 line-of-duty deaths in 2023, with 115 of those deaths being male officers. In 2022, there were 250 line-of-duty deaths; in 2021, there were 710 deaths; and finally, in 2020, there were 451 deaths. So what does all this mean? Between resignations, retirements, and deaths, police departments have had ample time to replace the good guys with some who may align with not-so-honorable agendas.
We already know that three letter agencies are overrun with LGBTQ+, but I have received multiple intel within those agencies confirming this information recently. Further, DEI implementation seems to suggest that even more will be coming to our armed officers and refunding the police will include re-militarization.
In a perfect world, it would be a non-issue to give weapons to a person based on their weird bedroom preferences that the majority of us don't understand and do not want to understand. However, we live in 2024.
Another strange connection between the sudden wish to refund the police is the rise in transgender active shooters and, as usual, the mentally ill shooters. We know the Colorado shooter was nonbinary, the Denver shooter was trans, the Aberdeen shooter was trans, the Nashville shooter was trans, and the recent Iowa shooter identified as nonbinary. Now, the percentage of trans to mass shootings is fairly bleak. However, we can't discount the fact that mental illness and drug use under Biden's police reform policies have been disallowed to be addressed by police officers.
The mental health crisis on America's hands stays unaddressed widely due to counseling and psychologist's affirmation care (which is a whole other topic I can get into at another time since I attend Grand Canyon University under the Psychology program). The deep state is widely to blame for affirmation care in the soft sciences and is now implementing the practice in our police departments.
New ATF forms, which were implemented in the spring of 2023, also ask prospective gun owners what gender they identify as. Ideally, this form would be used as a method to identify trans shooters even if they commit a crime after purchase. It would be a trend research tool, at the least. Instead, it appears the three letter agencies could very well be using the forms as a way to contact individuals who may be under enough duress to commit a heinous crime for the deep state agenda of ultimately banning guns from the American people.
Ultimately and unfortunately, refunding the police will only mean more DEI and more or less the same amount of crime since Democrats have had almost four years to transform departments into a totally useless government entity that does nothing positive for its communities.
