Like so much in the right-wing racist propaganda, these comments are taken out of context. Even the dumbass liberal phrase - defund the police - decontextualizes what they actually want. A better phrase would be: redistribute public funding to education and social programs and stop buying military equipment for policing. The gradual conversion of civil policing to military policing is an attack on the 99% by the 1%. People of color aren't the problem. The 1% is the problem.

Nah, they mean exactly what they say: get rid of police. They say it right there: Policing is a violent institution that must end. Of course, they will have private security for themselves. This has already been established beyond a shadow of a doubt.

What is this with weird leftists who think they can interpret the actions of others as not being what they clearly state is so? These are word games, attempting to control language. Ain't gonna work. They've literally argued that 2+2 is not equal to four, and did so with pride.

You know what? 2+2=4.
