Defund the police by 33.8%

Oppressed groups are frequently placed in the situation of being listened to only if we frame our ideas in the language that is familiar to and comfortable for a dominant group. This requirement often changes the meaning of our ideas and works to elevate the ideas of dominant groups.

1. This, I Like

We can decide on the number.
First, we eliminate the budget for any further tactical gear. Keep what you've got. Nothing new.
Every bad guy doesn't have an AK-47.

2. But they score military leftovers for free

...if they engage in some nonsensical anti-terror stuff, if I recall correctly. Which is why you see ludicrous terrorism charges sometimes.

So we’ve got to end that practice somehow.

3. They Pay For Shipping?

Don't know it for sure, but I can't envision the military saying "Come take it.", then paying for shipping.
Prohibit funds used to transport.
Same effect. Assuming of course, my guess is correct.
