What defunding the police could look like

They didn't defund them. In fact the article says they doubled the size of their force. 

Ok, I did some digging.

Back in 2011, budget cuts led Camden to ax half its police force. At its low point, Camden was down to 175 officers, with as few as a dozen patrolling the entire city during peak crime hours at night. For a high-crime area like Camden, those numbers are anemic. Making things worse, the remaining officers frequently had to do double duty on administrative tasks, meaning they were stuck behind a desk.

So Camden was cash strapped and had to make budget cuts all over the place in 2011.  They defunded the police department out of necessity.

The now defunded police force wasn't meeting the city's needs so it was disbanded in 2013.  By 2015 they were able to double it's police force to over 400 cops all under the same budget as 2013.

Because they busted the union.

Posting a video of Kamala isn't going to accomplish much with the AW audience.

Based on what she says here it's apparent she isn't quite woke enough. She does make some good points about mental health and the homelessness. Honest question, why isn't she talking about African Americans distancing themselves from criminal behavior? Shouldn't that be encouraged or are they not responsible for it? Maybe not defund them but spend the money on more training for police.

You need to watch the documentary called 13th.

The old, "Don't be a criminal and you wouldn't need to fear the police" argument.

Still doesn’t explain why a minority population disproportionately commits more crimes. Especially violent ones 

Remember that scene in Pretty Woman where she goes shopping and the store clerks are all snobby towards her?  Imagine that happening every day of your life in all aspects of your life. 

When you treat people like shit just because of the color of their skin, some start to think, "well there is no legitimate way to improve my situation."

(Not saying it's right or justifiable.)

There have been almost 200 murders in Chicago since that 1 cop punched that 1 guy.
