    That’s an oddly specific thing to withhold funds from

      It’s not really surprising. Rape as a weapon of war seems to be common amongst both existing theocratic states and those trying to establish one.

      As 40% of police beat their spouses, it’s been the only budget cut departments are consistently willing to champion.

        Hey, hey, HEY! That statistic from 20 years ago says that 40% SELF-REPORTED ABUSING their spouse! I am going to die on the hill of the difference between domestic abuse and domestic violence!

        This is sarcasm, if not obvious

          Why are you replying to me - do you think Trumps accusers are lying?

          In human history I know of no better example of an absolute and obviously guilty rapist, including children, than Donald fucking Trump. JFC he’s on video admitting it.

      Completely agree, but not because “woke” but because most rape kits go unprocessed.

    No shit? Lose police funding? We’ll finally get those safe cities Republicans always talk about providing when they’re elected. It just comes from the exact opposite of what they do.

      Police defunding alone isn’t gonna make cities safe. Where state capacity fades, people take advantage. Be ready to replace them with a new, more resilient system so that the power vacuum is filled not by some people but by the people.

    Tow any federal vehicles, fine them, and if the fine is not paid within a week release them to parts shops. Tow and fine for what? Not having a stamp showing they have paid the state a stamp tax allowing them to be present.

    We’ll find a way to fund rape kits without them – cops dont do a reliable job processing those anyway and the hospitals should do it. And reducing police funding is what we’ve wanted all along anyway. Lets do this.

    The rape kits are needed, but getting rid of some cops might actually help the crime rate.
