CMV: I'm all for police reform, but defunding the police isn't gonna do jack

 A degenerate cop that can't afford a riot suit **is still** a degenerate cop. Defunding the police doesn't address the **real, core problem** of police brutality. The root issue is **accountability.**

&#x200B;

I present to you-

**The surface problem-** Individual cops are killing people, brutalizing people, and breaking their vow to serve and protect.

**The core problem-** It's too easy to become a cop, it's too hard to get fired as a cop, and it's too easy to cover yourself up if you accidentally/purposely kill/brutalize a innocent person.

**The real solution-** Increased accountability and transparency to the public. Harder and longer training, a thorough background check for prejudiced behavior, and a intensive monthly character evaluation.

IMO, defunding the police isn't going to do jack. A improperly equipped cop can be just as violent as a properly equipped cop.

How could defunding the police have prevented the death of George Floyd?

The goal isn't to have the same number of cops, but have them be paid less or be underequipped. The goal is for there to be less police period.

It's supposed to be an opportunity for departments to purge their ranks of those that they know to be trouble, but for various reasons have felt compelled to leave on payroll. 

Fire the shit cops, retain the decent cops, which ultimately results in less payroll (since the bad cops got fired).
