   Hello Aaron,   
      
    AI>> Rubbish. This is not now and never was a Democrat policy.   
      
    AT> Bill Deblasio, mayor of NYC, has given in to protesters demands by   
    AT> shifting $1 billion dollars away from NYC police.   
      
   That may be so. I don't know Deblasio or the reason he does what he does.   
      
   But I know that defunding police is not a democrat policy.   
      
   If we want police to accomplish x,y,z (and I think we do) then they should be   
   given the training and funding to be able to accomplish that in a successful   
   way.   
      
   I think this idea of defunding police is unworkable. If we can fund programs   
   that can make police more successful or efficient then that is a good thing.   
      
    AI>>  AT> inmates released early, and cheaper street drugs.   
    AI>>   
    AI>> More rubbish.   
      
    AT> In New York, jail is already a thing of the past. In California, state   
    AT>  prisons are letting inmates out "to protect them from covid," but I   
    AT> see it as a slap in the face to crime victims, and a way to save   
    AT> money.   
      
   I can understand letting non violent criminals out if there is no safe place   
   to put them. When courts decide a sentence, that sentence should be carried   
   out.   
      
    AT> I wish this was all rubbish. My state is horrible, and these Democrat   
    AT> trends could lead to the destruction of the whole country if they get   
    AT> any more powerful.   
      
   This program needs work. Rapists for example (as Arron said the other day)   
   should not be released, in my opinion, since that is a violent crime.
