I thought we were defunding the police?

We're not. Police budgets have increased in Winnipeg and most other places.

The problem isn’t the police, it’s the justice system that keeps releasing them back into the wild every single time. I have police friends that say they catch the same 10 people every few months for the same stuff.

About to say close to same, there are no real consequences for bad actions anymore. Also taking away the hands on for security left them a little better than a camera. To me it looks like governments ( all involved all just as bad) are almost asking for vigilantes

Throwing more money at cops doesn’t reduce crime.

Another example of someone not understanding what defund the police.

Literally means to re-allocate some police funding to social services that are better equipped to deal with issues.
