Like you go back and look at past discussions on some of these topics even here and you can see how quickly opinions are changing.
When you read up on it, it makes soooo much sense. Police get waaaay to much of our public spend for social services when the ROI is so much better on education and other positive interventions. It really is a no brainer if you take politics out of it.
My big concern with progressives is that this should be an aspirational goal and thought leaders should be planting the seeds for it now, but it should not be a presidential platform position for 2020.
