“Defund the police” now looking like a disastrously missed opportunity to demilitarise, disempower and remove the impunity of several agencies that have - entirely foreseeably - been made the storm troopers of the fash crackdown, isn’t it.

"Defund the police" was always a liberal slogan -- the original, leftist one was "abolish the police". It can't ever be carried out because the function of the liberal state in America requires more and more police.

Whatever it was, it was also an excellent opportunity to slap these organisations down, and not doing it was awesomely stupid IMO.

Entirely foreseeably is correct.

"Defund the Gestapo" might be a more effective slogan at this point.
