The government would make a shit load mate
And it would highly crush drug related crime
But they don’t legalise it

you could fund a load of public health stuff and maybe have some money left if it goes well

It would also highly cut down on drug related deaths if the government are regulating all the product

its just way too progressive to legalise the ganja

The drug business is the single largest business in the world. There is a minority of the entire world who don’t take at least one drug.

Good point. Police Scotland have been stripped of a large amount of their yearly budget and it’s only reducing every year.
Idk about English police or that but Scotlands police are being majorly defunded and the country is turning to a shit hole because police can’t afford to pursue crime.
hallow saddle
same in england

this is a case where "defund the police" is done wrong
also if any police forces needed defunding it isn't the UK ones

Defund the police people quite clearly live in gated communities.

The actual message is about not giving them money for military surplus gear
instead moving the money to better training and vetting

the 2023 budget for police scotland was 1.3 billion
in 2025 it's 1.6 billion
this took me 1 google search

I’ve never seen police in my country with military surplus gear bar the fire arms squads and airport police. Both needs those.
hallow saddle
a) its a new government, b) most of the cuts were done years ago
valid needle
the 2023 budget for police scotland was 1.3 billion
in 2025 it's 1.6 billion
I highly doubt it considering crime is on a rampant rise
valid needle
The problem with national statistics is that crime rates can stay the same or rise in districts but if one district falls majorly it looks good on paper.
And it’s most likely highly been affected by the Glasgow gang and stabbing crisis of the early 2000s when Glasgow was branded the murder capital of Europe.
And then immensely cleaned up, lowering national crime statistics whilst not actually changing statistics of other districts.
crystal forum
i dont know anything about scotland so i can't argue on any side. the budget stat is just right there though
it is not going down at all
and i've heard it around the entire world that crimes rates are skyrocketing and all that yap
all just excuses to shove more money into private pockets
hallow saddle
i think the most glaring statistic i can find so far is that there are 214 police stations in scotland and 140 stations have closed over the last 10 years
though im not scottish or grok so dont take it as gospel

that makes sense if stations have been merged together to server wider areas. you dont need 5 stations overlooking rural farmland
or if zoning laws change

What do the defund the police activists mean by military surplus gear though?

To be honest if I was in a country where nearly anyone can buy automatic machine guns I’d want the people who are meant to protect us to have as much as possible to combat them. Maybe it’s just me but I’d rather not a riot break out in my city with a guy going ham with an AR15 and my police force are like well shit I can’t fight this dude.

How long is the average swat response time?

Alright that’s a good average. I agree, increase training across the board, defund military surplus for non swat seems reasonable.

I don't think the police should be defunded and removed

anyways so the problem that arose after this incident is cops started wearing more and more tactical gear to look like military

RAAAAAAAAAAAH THAT'S WHAT DEFUND THE POLICE MEANS WOLF
spring cairn
and i should be judge, jury and executioner

and the problem now is cops are trained to be violent and confrontational basically
the military gear also gives them way too much confidence
crystal forum
and this all gets way worse when it comes to protest response
you're basically confronted with a small army if you peacefully protest in america
it's intentionally made to intimidate you
crystal forum
and cops are given gear like 40mm grenade launchers with foam ammunition then given a blank cheque for using them
that is directly army surplus gear
which i might add you cant even obtain as a civ
