This is how the left eats itself. Holier-than-thou dogma always trumps debate. So what you get is group-think that elevates who can be more radically stupid than the next guy without thinking.
Mine too. 
Disregard that its Fox - the threats come straight for the horses mouth.
“I’m a leader of this FTP movement. It means a lot of things. It could mean ‘free the people’, it could mean ‘for the people’, or it could also mean ‘fire to property’ and you know that’s very possible,” said the protest leader.
“Today I’m leading a demonstration from Barclay Center at 6pm to City Hall, and that’s the first stop. I hope Mayor de Blasio and Governor Cuomo come out and talk to us and give the youth some direction. But if they don’t, the next stop is the Diamond District. And gasoline, thanks to Trump, is awfully cheap.”
File Transfer Protocol?
The police are there to enforce the laws that politicians and the public ask for. You can't blame the cops for starting drug wars. You have to start blaming politicians and voters who say they want non-violent offenses confronted with the possibility of violence. The moment you require enforcement of a law is the moment you raise the possibility of confrontation and possible violence.
I was having a chat with my brother today who fortunately saw a protest of about 4000 people in his beat back away from potentially violent outcomes.
There's this naive belief that women and other more vulnerable people somehow don't need protection.
Then you get to the idea of volunteer committees to patrol things, a la the Guardian Angels of NYC in the 80s.
Then you realize that to identify the people who are there to respond, they need some form of uniform and badging to be official.
And then they have to face drug gangs, so then maybe they need a gun.
And then maybe the volunteer force is subject to bribes and corruption because the drug gangs might help pay their life bills for their time doing service for the community as a volunteer, so then suddenly they collect a paycheck to keep them more honest.
And suddenly you've dismantled a police force only to recreate it all over again.
Too many people really don't understand the life of a cop. All these defund advocates should put their money where their mouth is and do ride alongs. You see how much a cop's job is stepping in when all the social net failures slip someone through the cracks and the community needs the fire to be put out.
Did you not see the Del Piero jersey? 
That's my main takeaway LOLOL

Defunding police entirely is retarded. I believe the somewhat reasonable idea before idiots millennial liberals took it over, was to delegate certain situations to more appropriate responders. For example, mental health professionals for mental health emergencies. And then to defund the militarization of police (ie. police departments don’t need to be equipped with military assault weapons outside the most advanced highly trained SWAT units). These are reasonable discussions about lowering police budgets in specific areas where the harm/good is up for discussion and debate.
Defunding police entirely or even largely is asinine and those pushing it right now are morons.
On your last point.... Funny thing about gun control, is that countries (modern first world democracies anyways) with stricter gun control and regulation generally need a far less heavily armed police force. This doesn’t mean police shouldn’t be armed with guns, but it does suggest that their job would be a hell of a lot easier without retarded ease of access to guns.
