My pet peeves about reading online is do the get to the point. When I want to search or learn about something I want to get the information not wait and read about nonsense. I want to know where to go for this specific question or area so I know what Iâm reading or I know what Iâm reading is valuable and not wasting my time. I really dislike going online and reading and Iâm waiting to see whereâs the information I need. I rather have it in bold to what question or what this paragraph is talking about so Iâm reassuring myself this is what Iâm looking for and not random things I donât need.

As my question is how does defunding the police effect the community? We are given staticâs in this video. At the White House Washington press secretary Kayleigh Mcenany talks about how the defunding of the police has consequences. She stats staticâs that are very strong and bold as she continues she stated that Los Angeles defunded the police for 150 million dollars and this didnât help as homicides only increased and increased by 14% since last year for Los Angeles. More stats show Minnesota wanted to dismantle the system as they believed it wasnât justice at all and wanted safety and only increased dangers as there was a 94% increase in homicides since last year. Finally in New York they cut 1 billion dollars and this caused a 177% increase in shootings since July 2019. We are given staticâs to show only increase in dangers when you defund the police and these dangers arenât minor they are major. They are homicides and shootings! If homicides and shootings go up all while police are being defunded how are police going to be in top form to help the people? It doesnât make sense to defund and see staticâs like these and still want to defund the police, rather find a way to stop all these hideous actions that only few police officers have and let the system try to protect at the best of its ability. I believe these conference and this short video depicted how we really need to visualize and understand defunding the police can and will lead to dangerous situations and lead to effecting the community harshly and very rapidly as most of these staticâs are within one year. The author or here the speaker she chose the genre hear I would declare a speech in my views is because itâs in a big audience and in a important place broadcasted to the world to hear and understand defunding the police will cause more and more dangerous situations and nothing. She wanted to urges to stop these movements before it gets worse. The credibility of Kayleigh is sheâs a press secretary so her research has to dig deep and make sure whatâs she says makes sense and is correct and to bring awareness to big topics such as this to help us all with this very concerning issue.
conclusion- We all are in a time period of struggle and pain. We all feel weak to a oppressive cops and donât want anything to do with those hurt people when they donât need to. Many of us feel outraged at what happened to George Floyd and we attack the entire system of cops who are âbadâ and âcorruptâ. However is this true ? I bet most of you donât believe it. After all the staticâs and facts how can you say the system is doing nothing and itâs only bad. We all are driven by a blind hatred of innocent people being killed but we shouldnât ruin a entire system that is good just for a few viruses. Iâm pretty sure when you were younger and in class the teacher would say everyone in class is in trouble even though it was one or two kids that caused noise and made problems. Most of us felt awful because it wasnât our fault and it was unfair. Open your eyes you guys are making the same mistake. You want all cops gone or want the system changed or to defund the police and all we get it problems these problems are drastic and itâs effecting the communities one way. In the negative way. We are only leading to more murders and shooting and increase crime. We need to find a way to make the system maybe stricter to enforce better cops with better morals so we can have no bad cops but defunding will only effect our community negatively.
In the video on YouTube âWatch: Defunding the police âsimply not the answerâ, Houston police chief saysâ
Chief of police Art Acevedo talks about how the death of George Floyd is awful and shouldnât be taken lightly and should be given justice for his loss of life. He continues to say to look at the fact that 1.2 million annual calls to 911 have been given and a lot of them come from colored communities and poor communities. He further continues to speak on how defunding the police isnât the answer and he speaks on behalf of the mayor of Houston and especially the entire country for all those chief of police. He states that lowering and defunding the police with the necessities they will need can cause more damage and cause more crime. With appropriate funding police are well equipped with technology to help with fighting crime and recruiting individuals for the police system. As he continues he further talks about the fact most police officers are good people and they serve and protect the people with their lives everyday on the line. Stating  the four officers who took the life of George Floyd were not correct and horrific and saying they tarnished the trust of the law enforcement officials and system that worked so hard to gain trust with the people to show they are there to help.
In all we can see through the interview the chief of police doesnât believe in the four officers for the death of George Floyd. He believes they did something so awful and horrific. Â To conclude Acevedo believes that defunding the police wonât help as it will only cause lack of support they need to do their jobs to the absolute best of their abilities and it can lead to awful and dangerous situations like that of the past when not funding the police enough. He believes that we shouldnât lose trust that most cops are correct and good and put their lives to serve and help the people and community. By this we would most likely only hurt our communities and lose the efforts those officers who suit up everyday to protect us with our actions either by putting them in more dangerous situations or by their lack of encouragement and them feeling disparity that we donât believe in them. In all we would only cause trouble to our communities leaving our officers vulnerable in dangerous situations as we do rely on them so much and us the people we would be even vulnerable. If our officers are vulnerable then what are we? Defunding the police isnât the way to go.
