Serious question: If the police are defunded, what happens when someone breaks into your apartment? Asking because this happened to my neighbor on Wednesday and there was no help provided from NYPD.

Defund doesn’t mean end the police, it means lower their budget and give a lot of their responsibilities to organizations better equipped to handle them, so they can actually help with crimes like the one you’ve described.

Cops don’t respond anymore and can’t say I blame them . They’re in a no lose situation

So your asking about what happens when the police are defunded after you've seen how they don't actually do anything? In a world where resources were allocated better (e.g., the police have been defunded), the person who broke into your friend's apartment may not have done so because they have the basic necessities of life taken care of and the resources to pursue other activities than crime.

Just catching up on this thread..... EY 1 with the hottest of garbage takes....thugs, welfare queens, crime = immutable culture (and that culture is somehow not impacted by poverty and lack of opportunity). My guy (or gal, but let's be real here ....), please do better. Try to open your eyes to the plight of people less fortunate than you and understand that you could be one of those "thugs" if you had not had the opportunities life has afforded you. Learn about how systemic racism (I know EY1 hasn't introduced race here, but, again, let's be real, they are using racially charged arguments) and generational poverty has impacted this "culture of crime" that you speak of. We can all do better than this individually, and should be working toward something better as a society.

Just wanted to add some context to this conversation. Defunding the police doesn’t mean abolish the police. It means defund the police, as in lower their budgets and appropriate the delta to other useful social services (I would argue mainly mental health services and education). This may sound “radical” to some people at first, but if you look into our budgets historically we have been defunding education for decades while increasing police budgets. It’s like putting a band aid on a faulty system without actually addressing the root issues. Cheers!
