I still do, and lethal police robots seem as good an argument as any.

> defund the police

Buy the Police millions of dollars worth of armed robots controlled by police.

Kinda special aren't ya?

I'm not following.

You said you still agree with defunding the police but it seems like you're okay with giving the police millions of dollars to buy robots.

So how can you defund, while giving them MORE money/budget for a button that controls the machine shooting someone versus them doing it themselves?

No, you completely misread me. If the police are asking for killer robots, that's an argument to defund. Where did it seem like I was in favor of the robots?

Apparently, after all the "defunding", they still have money to spare to buy fancy killer robots.

You're taking what they said out of context. They don't want to defund the police they want police reform. Defund the police was an easier chant. Like ACAB, except when needed to combat peaceful protesting from someone you don't like. You can thank the NGOs for spreading "defund the police" while the people affected by the defunding cry for police presence in their high crime areas.
