It is strange how close to sympathetic I am to the argument "defund the police." Yes, obviously; disband, even. But in the cities, if you do, the cost will be very high indeed. Perhaps higher than the good can justify; or, in the language of just war theory, it may be a decision that is discrete but not proportionate.
