I mean, I'm anxious about all _impossible_ things making incursions on to this reality, but boy, you seem very favorable towards ideas you describe as stupid (I'm less convinced defunding is stupid, but abolishing police, that's not for me).

Defunding the police would create a power vacuum which could only be taken over by something worse. Yet the police are literally corrupt. Reform was already needed before the protests. Gradual, yes, but immediate action nonetheless. I’m not even American but it really seems like you guys are suffering under mismanagement. The police are a symptom of this. America needs to change.
