Cops in Texas never got defunded and they're still cowardly useless fucks who are bigger criminals than most of the criminals they arrest.

Point still stands, you fix that problem first. Besides that's an exception. Blue cities have defunded the police, and expressed their disdain for them, while crying for the poor criminal that just wants "bread". The law says criminals should not have guns, yet that is not properly enforced (assuming it's possible). Let's see gov. take away guns from criminals, if it's such a good idea.

The legitimate reasons people called for defunding the police have not been addressed. That is the initial problem. People are sick of the abuse of office. The message was distorted because BLM wanted to make this all about racism, and it's not. What sense does it make to throw more money them until their house is clean.

Yeah that makes sense, but sometimes it may be lack of funding that makes them not hire better people and have better training. The answer probably varies from county to county.
