I’m going to continue to live here on the realistic part of the USA and you’re going to spend the rest of your life bitching about abolishing the police.
 
 
To be fair, 99% of the folks on here have quickly backtracked on the whole abolish the police movement thing after crime immediately doubled and democrats ended up polling as if they'd lose every seat they had hoped they'd win a year ago.
 
What to make of the near constant leaks suggesting Kamala Harris really really sucks?

Kamala Harris is branded a ‘bully’ and accused of inflicting ‘constant, soul-destroying criticism’ on staff by ex-aides who claim she refused to read briefings, then scolded them if she was slated for being unprepared as 'FOUR' staffers head for the exit
A former underling of Kamala Harris she routinely refused to review briefing materials and would then scold employees when she appeared unprepared
The ex-employee likened the vice president to a workplace bully
Even more staffers are considering leaving Vice President Kamala Harris' office, people familiar with the conversations revealed

I mean maybe you and one other person keep talking about abolish the police, but the rest of the folks on the boards realized it was a stinker a long time ago.

Among the rallying cries were “defund the police” — a call for elected officials to reallocate some law enforcement funding elsewhere. In June 2020, the Portland City Council and the mayor answered by cutting millions from the police budget.

Now, a year and a half later, officials partially restored the cut funds. On Wednesday, the Portland City Council unanimously passed a fall budget bump that included increasing the current $230 million police budget by an additional $5.2 million. The added police spending is occurring amid a year of a record number of homicides, the city’s greatest police staffing shortage in decades and reform recommendations made by the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Many Portlanders no longer feel safe,” Mayor Ted Wheeler said. “And it is our duty, as leaders of this city, to take action and deliver better results within our crisis response system.”

Portland isn’t the only liberal city doing an about-face on police spending. From New York City to Los Angeles — in cities that had some of the largest Black Lives Matter protests, and some with an extensive history of police brutality — police departments are seeing their finances partially restored in response to rising homicides, an officer exodus and political pressures.
