Plenty of books out there that you won't want to read, but that you'll be glad to have read once you're done. Type 2 fun, basically.

police would benefit from being taken away and given to separate dedicated organizations. So "defund" can mean "no more funding". (4/?)

the community gave that duty and the associated funding to them instead. The police resisted this process. There are many duties that (2/?)
