Defund the police.
The word “defund” is defined as [to prevent from continuing to receive funds] and thus illogical when the implications of defunding the police are considered. Although some suggest by defund they do not mean to “completely” defund the police, this only muddies the argument by trying to play with or redefine words. To defund the police would be to withdraw all funds from the police, thus instantly (or slowly) make the police extinct.
John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Honestly consider the crime in America with police and then imagine it without police. If there are those who still ignore and fight against the (good) laws of the nation today (which there are), to remove what stands in their way (i.e. the police) will not somehow convert or conform the lawless. They, along with the whole of society, will only get worse. For if the lawless could govern themselves, they would.
To defund the police—the individuals and institutions tasked and paid to ensure the safety of all persons, places, and things—will not stop the loss of life. It would only increase it. Even the “partial” defunding [some claim to call for] would lead (even if inadvertently) to less necessary training, gear, and the best individuals to have a safe, fair, trained police force. To defund the police would deprive moral citizens of an institution God purposed for protecting the innocent and punishing the evil doer.
