    Your inner city high crime areas are high crime due to a host of factors that also need to be fixed. The whole system we live under is inherently flawed.

    Not to mention the police are some of the biggest criminals around.

      Sure the reasons for crime like poverty and lack of education and opportunities need to be addressed. That’s a long term thing though. The entrenched organizations and culture of crime need to fought as well. That’s what you need police for.

      Defunding the police empowers organized crime to take even more control in affected communities.
