Well noone has ever asked me and nobody here seems to give a **** what I think about it and yes I am definitely for some serious reforms but maybe not the ones some folks around here want.

We've asked teachers for decades and all we get is a worse system.
Hell, today's teachers refuse to do their job bc they are laziest most entitled profession in the country.
I suspect asking cops how to reform cops won't yield the result the reformers want either
Are we going to get a response on how someone can think welfare has been getting smaller?
Can they use another fancy French word while they are at it?
Lol, that's not what I said. Dunno how you could deny that Reps have been trying to destroy the "Great Society" since it's inception.
But even then it depends on the program. Republicans haven't been able to destroy Social Security, for example, because it is so wildly popular (But Bush II tried). On the other hand, the boomers who love SS and Medicare don't given a crap about poor families ("welfare queens") so when the Reps finally got Congress in the 90s they killed AFDC and implemented ****tier and cheaper welfare-to-work programs in it's place (with Clinton's complicity), resulting in tons of people kicked out of the program. But the death of the program had been going on for a long time.

Indigent legal services are a basically perpetually on the chopping block. Basically, welfare for old people costs a ton and is political poison to mess with. Assistance for just regular poor people? Much easier to mess with and it's something we've really back away from over time.
Funding for welfare programs is at all time highs.
Acting like, 'well garsh, if we just gave it a little more all would be great!' is a really stupid position
Incentivizing bad habits and poor behavior doesn't solve problems. It exasperates them
Welfare to work is a bad thing?
As expected only one person actually proposed anything that would reduce criminality. The left has this weird convincing that throwing money at a problem makes it go away.
‘Fixing’ policing without treating the true illness does nothing. We have seen direct correlations of reduced police presence and increased criminality.
What goes on in your giys minds that makes you think this is smart?
as much as I abhor requoting myself
The title of the thread is Rethinking Policing.
Methods of policing
Not why welfare is bad, or why teachers are the devil or even why only black people seem to get randomly shot by police
None of these suggestions involve more funding only a reallocation/reorganization of funds.
The concept of rethinking police is a diversion tactic and giving it even 10% of the airtime to the real problem of criminality is giving it too much.
A rethought police or whatever bull**** focus group title the democrat party comes up with will only increase criminality.
Then it will be time to give another excuse for your awful policy platform.
No, it isn't that one. You're right about him. I liked him but he basically lived to stir up "stuff". The one I'm talking about now was/is Tomahawking4Life or something pretty close to that. I think he would have some good input since he has lots of experience in the field and in different areas of it.
