The American Friends Service Committee explained why, according to them, it’s time to “invest in our communities, not policing.”

1. Policing in the U.S. was established to maintain white supremacy.

2. Policing doesn’t keep us safe.

3. Body cameras, trainings, and other so-called reform measures will not end cycles of police violence.

4. Policing diverts billions of dollars from schools, health care, and other vital programs that need more funding to strengthen our communities and support shared well-being.

5. Black organizers are calling for divestment from policing and investment in human needs across the country.

Despite the violence, radical leftist are blaming the largest increase of crime in 60 years on police.
