Did you read it? Did it advocate for "abolishing the police" or did it talk about a specific police policy that was making police interactions more dangerous for citizens?

Like, we can talk about THAT if you want. But, did you notice you linked to something that really had nothing to do with abolishing police or even directly reducing police? It's talking about not expanding and hiring more police to prevent victimless and nonviolent crime. A policy that has lead to increased police violence towards citizens.

See how even when you try to link and point to someone on "the left" explaining something you're not even understanding it.

What point are you trying to make? You didn't even mention or talk about the specific policy she is talking about.

You barely have to dig into it man. It's literally the first part of the letter. My initial response to you was literally because you don't actually understand what "the left" believes and you're just arguing with a slogan. Thanks for proving my point.

AOC doesn't speak for an entire movement, her word isn't law to us.

That's the problem with people like you. You can only view politics in an us versus them mentality. So if one person says something on the other side then obviously everyone on that side must agree. Which just isn't how the world works.

I think you'll find most on Lemmy support fact based ways to reduced crime. We should use our limited resources to do the most good. I don't define that as stopping and frisking random people hoping to find small amounts of drug paraphernalia. That's not the most efficient use of money to stop crime or even drug use.
