 The democratic party really shit the bed on the whole "defund the police" 
thing. The idea was to increase mental health resources for homeless people 
instead of throwing them out on the street and having law enforcement deal 
with them. There's no funding for mental health assistance, so someone 
decided, maybe we could take funding from law enforcement, since they'll 
have less to do in urban areas.

It has nothing to do with anarchy, it has more to do with having appropriate 
resources. But the right called it "defunding the police", and that's where 
we are.

I lived and worked in San Francisco and Oakland for many years. I've seen 
people on the streets committing crimes, harassing people or leremy sleeping 
and panhandling that belonged in mental care facilities, not jail. In fact, 
many of them had been in institutions that could no longer afford to keep 
them.

Because there's no mental health resources available, the cops get the call 
- and they're not well equipped to handle them.
