Loots of criticism about the decision.

I have mixed feelings about this. For one, good. I detest cops. They do nothing but harass, scare, and harm people, including us with mental health conditions.

Secondly, I’m enraged. They’re just showing their true colors. They are supposed to be first responders to a lot of situations and they’re just admitting they can’t do it in the worst way possible.

Defund the police.
