@gwynnion I think part of the problem also, is the sorry state of the US educational system... it causes people to easily to believe propaganda, which both parties are great at putting out.. I mean why put out anything useful, when propaganda works even better on the masses... The People called for "Defunding The Police", which instantly right wing ran the claims that people on the left were talking about eliminating the police (not 100% true, not 100% false either) but what people were demanding is to take a good bit of the excess funding that is put into protecting the piggies that commit crimes, and shunt that into social service programs to help people to avoid having the police called to start with... mental health programs, help up programs, drug dependency programs, all would do more in most community then so called "crime prevention", and more so, setting up agencies without guns, to go out for social services calls, such as "hey I think there is a guy on my street that might need some help, he's a little aggressive, but I think he's high or maybe something is wrong with him" to have someone trained to deal with a person that has mental challenges or possible drug issues be the first line, instead of the after call would do a lot more there too...
