Doug Ford's Police Pipeline
With the recent announcement by Ontario Premier Doug Ford that he intends to create a police pipeline to keep people safe, it was time for another discussion around defunding the police.
Points of discussion include:
- Actual numbers around crime and policing
- Free tuition and post secondary requirements for Police
- Contrasts between need for nurses and funding for police recruits
- The end of a nursing program in Toronto
- The dangerous law and order rhetoric being hyped up by TO Mayoral Race
- Capital’s need for police in end stage capitalism
- Doug Ford’s special relationship with Police
- The repercussions of a heavily funded and armed police state
