Because if you leave it up to each person to defend themselves, you have literal anarchy. You'll have the weaker that will be at the bottom abused and only the strongest on top. You'll have abuse and people getting away with abusing. It's the thing I'm happy is far, far behind us.

We all need trained police.

Because? You're one of those guys who use the pinnacle of science in their hands to tell people about their dislike of actual scientists?

Yeah but you still need police. You need well trained police who know how to de-escalate situations. It also requires a change in how usi citizens look at crime. Prison sentences in Europe are always een as too lenient and lax but that is because in the US they are to punish, to enact revenge for the victims. In Europe prison sentences are also meant to reeducate, to prepare the person to come back to society. If o get arrested in Europe, it sucks. If I get arrested in the US, my life is mostly over. Once you've been a prisoner in the US, and you come back into society, you're fucked. Good luck getting a normal job. It makes it that crimjnals are mucbore aggressive in the US, so police needs to be more aggressive too. You need to change how you handle crime, you need to rework your entire justice system.

This last "let's sue advertisers to force them to come back a d put their ads next to neo Nazis" is just another nail in the coffin.

Hell Be gone soon enough and his legacy will be "what did anyone ever see in that scammer?"

He's now suing advertisers to force them to pay him money because he told them (literal quote) to go fuck them selves after they didn't wanted to have their ads shown next to neo Nazis, and well, they all left. Good luck with that, forcing advertisers to come back, lol.

Twitter is barely having any income and the interest in the loans to buy twitter alone cost a billion per year.

Twitter (and I fucking refuse to call it x) will be gone soon

There ya go

They say something more precise

Defund the police is used uite successfully by extreme right to make centrist and moderate left look dumb

Police officer is what they should be.

Cop, whatever it was before, is -to them- this cool ahrrif guy who will show the town who is boss.

You're not that, you are. Apomoce officer who should be trained and sworn to uphold the law firstly to yourself, to serve and protect.

I agree with your second phrase, I absolutely disagree with your last one, though. Nobody trivializes rape, and popular culture doesn't trivialize rape either

They do need more training as they barely get any.

They also need consequences, yes

Then don't say defund the Police, say that instead. I agree that the US needs to fix a lot of issues, and you need police but restructured.

"Defund the pice" sounds like take all the money away and get rid of police. That's how many conservatives interpret it, and it's used successfully to ridicule the left.

Well trump, it was nice knowing ya (it wasn't) bit you'll never never ever ever ever be president again. Tell the average Americans that you'll take their guns away? You nuts? Tell right wing evangelical Christian redneck gun lover that you'll take their guns away? Are you suicidal?

Anyway, fuck Trump , happy to see him go
