Defunding

“Who do you think would be the biggest winners if we defunded the police?”
“I suppose criminals.”
“No! That’s not the right answer! Some of those police are corrupt!”
“Yes, but if we’re going to go by percentages, all criminals are corrupt. Your house is being broken into. Things could get very ugly. Who are you going to call - social workers? It’s perfectly obvious criminals would be the biggest winners here. But anyway, why are we talking about this? No society, unless it had precious little crime, would be so suicidally stupid as to push or pursue such an idea in the first place.”
“You need to stop thinking for yourself. Just wait up there a few minutes and I’ll look up and see how I’m supposed to respond to all this ...”
Ten minutes later ...
“You’re a white supremacist.”
