The “Only Blue Lives Matter” crowd believes that real Americans have an obligation to give state and local law enforcement personnel their unconditional support, regardless of what unfortunate atrocities they may commit in any given location, because they are the only line of defense between us and an urban minority population that is essentially made up of savages. The “Defund the Police” group, on the other hand, thinks the police are an occupying army that does more harm than good, and should be eliminated. If the number of crime victims goes up dramatically as a result, that is just acceptable collateral damage.
Both of these positions are ridiculous. What we need is effective law enforcement with community support, not an occupying or a demoralized army. More official brutality (racist or otherwise) is not the answer to crime; neither is indifference to victims.
