So here are some further warnings the Heir has for people to be careful what they wish for if they *really* want to defund the cops.  It's *some* major cities that want to do it under pressure from *some* protesters (at least).  But what about your one-traffic-light-town in the Far West with only 500 people, and vastly different needs and culture from Minneapolis?  Do *they* have to give up their cops too (the Heir asks)?  Because the phrase Defund The Cops the Heir takes *not* to mean defund just some of the cops of some of their money.  No, it means defunding *all* cops of *all* their money, over the *entire* country regardless of whether they've had problems with excessive force or not.  Otherwise the Ed Snowden types who support the measure would never use it as a slogan on picket signs.  A more nuanced "defunding" is just not catchy enough.  The Heir also thinks about the 1970s movie Death Wish (he *thinks* it's the Seventies) in a world where the cops are all but absent, you take your life in your hands every time you step out of your house, and it's only vigilantes who are willing to help.  By extension the Heir also thinks about the Green Berets and whether they'll end up making a comeback in the aftermath of what's to come.  The Heir wants to ruminate on each on these in more detail in the next few days or so.
