Like clearly there needs to be more accountability for cops, but at the same time, when I hear about ideas like ending cash-bail and scaling back funding for police departments and stuff like this...you know, I've just gotta point out that exhausted, overworked officers without back-up are probably going to make worse and more rash decisions, NOT better ones, and it's very clear to me moreover that some (often poorer and less white) parts of the country could also use faster response times, not the absence of a department in their area.

I somewhat understand the fear regarding the end to cash bail, but do you at least acknowledge how horrible of a system it is? Like, I feel there is a huge difference between being reluctant to support its end and just straight up being pro-cash bail.
