    No. The abolished it. They didn’t reform it. They abolished it.

    But the moment you go around saying “abolish the police”, you’re not talking about reforms, or at least that’s not what most people are going to hear.

    Stop it.

    Don’t both misinterpret what I said and then put words I didn’t put down into my mouth. If your balls shrink into your chest when you hear “abolish the police”, thats a you problem. Likewise, if you are basing your decision making on “what most people want to hear”, you probably are both a) not an effective strategist, and even further b) not a very good person.

    Abolish the police. If you can’t do that, de-fund them. Tip-toeing around the sensitivities of a deeply immoral people isn’t a strategy that gets results. It only gets you halfway to no-where.
